What would you do if you found yourself facing a life-altering diagnosis? Join me, Pete Van Ward, as I recount my personal battle with cancer, from the harrowing experience of undergoing major surgery to the relief and joy of being declared cancer-free. My journey has been incredibly challenging, but also deeply rewarding, particularly through creative collaborations like the Instagram Reels project with filmmaker Martin Zavala. Together, we aim to shed light on the daily lives of cancer warriors and spread hope to anyone impacted by this disease. Discover how these stories, shared on my Instagram, might just offer the inspiration you need.
I also delve into the crucial role of spiritual support in the cancer journey. Explore two new initiatives designed to provide this support: The Healing Chronicle newsletter and an upcoming pastoral care platform. These resources offer a blend of soul care advice, inspirational stories, and personalized spiritual guidance through teaching videos and discussion groups. Plus, don’t miss out on a special Christmas offer featuring my devotional collection, crafted to bring encouragement and reflection through daily pocket prayers.
Finally, get a sneak peek into the upcoming season of Sidewalk Conversations. With a diverse lineup of guests, including a man whose near-death experience sparked a profound spiritual awakening and my brother, whose faith journey as an engineer will captivate you, the new season promises to be deeply engaging. Reflecting on the spiritual essence of Christmas, I share my transformation from skepticism to belief, inviting you to explore the holiday’s deeper significance. Tune in across various platforms like Facebook, YouTube, Google Play, iTunes, and Spotify for these compelling stories and more.
