Summary

SummaryI’m Ben Cleaver, and by age 11 I faced emergency surgery for a grapefruit-sized abscess from Crohn’s diseaseβ€”a moment that taught me how frail I truly am. Months in hospital left me weak, but in that helplessness I felt God’s strong hand holding me up πŸ™. Over the years I experienced relief and relapse, each flare reminding me that my life isn’t in my own hands. In my darkest hour, I discovered the Vine: I’m the branch, He is the life source 🌿. Meeting Jess and singing β€˜All That I Am’ brought fresh joy, but it’s still God’s faithfulness that sustains me daily ❀️. My chronic illness never defined meβ€”God’s love did, and that truth fuels every note of worship I sing 🎡.

Aussie worship leader, Ben Cleaver opens up at a Sunday 6pm service about his encounter with God, through his struggle with a chronic illness. He and his wife Jess, sing an original song “All That I Am”.
