  • Dr. Brad Miller on the Cancer and Comedy Podcast.

    A month after retiring from a 43-year career as a pastor Dr. Brad Miller was diagnosed with cancer. His reaction was to laugh to keep from crying. He responded by combining his ministry experience with his doctoral degree in life transformation and his love of comedy to create the Cancer and Comedy Podcast designed to help people impacted by cancer (and other diseases) to heal with hope and humor. Dr. Brad launched the Cancer and Comedy Podcast in August 2023 and received the Best faith-based Comedy Podcast for 2023 Award by Spark Media. Dr. Brad Miller is available for speaking, consulting and coaching in matters related to leveraging humor and hope in the healing process.
