Ben Sasse opens up about faith, terminal cancer diagnosis in emotional interview

Former U.S. Sen. Ben Sasse of Nebraska spoke candidly about his faith and confronting death during an emotional interview published Wednesday. 

"Once we got diagnosed, we knew that the probability of a relatively near-term death is pretty high," Sasse said during a nearly hour-long conversation with Michael Horton and Dan Bryant, a former assistant attorney general at the U.S. Department of Justice, published on Sola Media’s YouTube page. 

"And so, A, to live as Christ, to die is gain," Sasse said.
