Cannon and his wife have three boys, two of whom were having health issues, like hemophilia with one of the boys. Cannon says when he told his chief about the issues on two separate occasions, he was told, “He told me, ‘If you was walking in God’s perfect purpose like I am, God would hear your prayers and he would heal your kids and it is your fault that they’re going through the issues they’re going through,’” said Cannon.
