Worship pastor and songwriter Jon Reddick took to social media this week to share that his wife, Rebecca, has been diagnosed with colon cancer.
In his post, Reddick asked for prayer, expressed gratitude for an early diagnosis, and encouraged others to undergo regular screenings.
Reddick serves as worship pastor at Church of the City in Franklin, Tennessee. He has also been nominated for several Dove Awards, including for New Artist of the Year in 2023.
His most recent release is the single “No Fear,” which was released in January.
On Monday (March 24), Reddick shared his wife’s health update on Facebook.

“Hey fam,” Reddick wrote, “I wanted to share some personal news.”
“Last week, my wife Rebecca was diagnosed with early onset colon cancer. The diagnosis is positive as it was hopefully detected early enough,” Reddick said. “She will undergo surgery tomorrow, March 25th. We would appreciate your prayers for her, the team of doctors and staff, as well as our kids as we navigate this journey and she starts her road to recovery.”
“This is a deeply personal diagnosis as Rebecca lost her dad to colon cancer at this same age,” Reddick continued, “so as you can imagine we are extremely grateful for this early diagnosis and surgery.”
In light of the fact that March is Colon Cancer Awareness Month, Reddick encouraged his fans and followers “to speak with your medical provider if you have any concerns or have a family history of colon cancer.”

“It has been noted that colon cancer is being found in younger patients than the recommended screening age of 45,” Reddick added.
