Earlier this month, Brad Arnold, lead singer of the rock band 3 Doors Down, provided an update regarding his cancer treatment.
In May, Arnold revealed that he had been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer.
Because Arnold needed to seek immediate medical treatment, 3 Doors Down was forced to cancel all foreseeable tour dates.
“I’ve been sick a couple of weeks ago and then went to the hospital and got checked out and had actually got the diagnosis that I had clear cell renal carcinoma,” Arnold informed his fans.
“But you know what?” he said. “We serve a mighty God, and he can overcome anything. So I have no fear. I really, sincerely am not scared of it at all.”
In his July update, Arnold posted an image of a quote by theologian Thomas Merton that read, “What am I? I am myself a word spoken by God. Can God speak a word that does not have any meaning?”
Next to the image, Arnold wrote, “We were formed with the same breath indeed with the same force that formed all that we’ve ever known, all that is.”
“We were…YOU WERE formed with the same attention to detail and individuality that were given to the oceans above and the oceans below,” wrote Arnold.

Arnold continued, “Never EVER doubt that YOU have a purpose. Well, what is my purpose you ask…to worship God. Put God first instead of your feelings, even your well being, and watch God’s purpose for your life spring to life.”
