Although I’ve only followed him tangentially, each time I’ve come across a recording or a writing of Ben Sasse, I’ve always found something highly thoughtful and incisive.

With this video, I learned he was diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer last fall and his life is being only prolonged by the clinical trial he fought to be enrolled in.

But his observations do not disappoint, on death, on where America is today and what it needs, on how to live and not live, on regrets, and on aspirations.

Lifting you and your family up in prayer Mr. Sasse, and us all into the eternal hands of the Father.
