A terminal ALS diagnosis led Dave Warnock to a question: Would he spend his remaining time trying to stay alive, or living?

Dave Warnock is a former evangelical preacher who was diagnosed with a terminal case of ALS (aka “Lou Gehrig’s Disease”) in 2019. He was given three to five years to live, and he’s chosen to spend that time focusing on life rather than ruminating about his impending death. Based on a web search, he’s been actively speaking about his experience as recently as April of this year.
