Blair Walker felt something was wrong before the doctors confirmed it. The symptoms had been building — changes in his body that he initially attributed to stress, diet, age. The kinds of things men tell themselves when they do not want to face the alternative.
When he finally went for testing, the results confirmed the worst. Colon cancer. And it had already spread to his liver.
The Diagnosis
Stage 4 colon cancer with liver metastases. When cancer spreads from the colon to the liver, it changes the entire conversation. The treatment becomes more complex. The prognosis becomes more guarded. The survival statistics shift dramatically.
Blair's doctors were straightforward. This was serious. The cancer had not stayed contained. It had moved, and once cancer moves, the fight becomes exponentially harder.
Blair was looking at a long, uncertain road.
The Church
Blair Walker was part of a church community. And that community did what healthy churches do when one of their own is in crisis: they surrounded him.
The prayer was not a formality. It was a campaign. Small groups prayed. The pastor prayed. Members of the congregation who barely knew Blair personally prayed for him by name. The church understood something that the medical system, for all its brilliance, cannot measure: there is power when people agree in prayer.
Blair's family joined the effort. Friends who had drifted away reconnected. The diagnosis, as diagnoses often do, clarified relationships and revealed who was willing to go to war on his behalf.
The Treatment
Blair received full medical treatment. Surgery. Chemotherapy. The aggressive, no-holds-barred approach that stage 4 colon cancer demands. He showed up to every appointment. He endured the side effects. He let the doctors do their work.
But he also let God do His.
Blair described his experience as a partnership — medicine working on the physical, prayer working on the spiritual, and both converging on his body. He did not see faith and medicine as competing options. He saw them as two hands of the same God.
Complete Remission
After treatment, Blair Walker's scans came back clean. The colon cancer: gone. The liver metastases: gone. Complete remission.
His medical team was encouraged. His church was overjoyed. Blair was humbled.
He shared his testimony on CBN's The 700 Club, telling millions of viewers what had happened. He was clear and specific: his church had prayed, he had received treatment, and God had healed him. Not one without the other. Both together.
What This Means for You
Blair Walker's testimony is not an argument against medicine. It is an argument for adding prayer to medicine. He did not skip chemotherapy and hope for the best. He took the treatment and added faith. He let doctors operate on his body and let his church operate in the spiritual realm.
If you are facing colon cancer — or any cancer that has spread — you need both. Get the treatment. Take the medicine. Show up for every appointment. And let your church pray. Let your friends pray. Let people you have never met pray.
Blair Walker was stage 4. Cancer in the colon and the liver. And he went into complete remission. That did not happen because he chose prayer over medicine or medicine over prayer. It happened because he chose both. And God honoured both.
