Cancer & Peace Moments #3: Benevolent Detachment
What if peace doesn’t come from holding on tighter—but from letting go?
In this collection of moments from Episode 13, Peter and Sean unpack the practice of benevolent detachment—releasing everyone and everything into God’s hands. From facing panic on the way to treatment to finding a “non-anxious presence” through faith, this episode explores how surrender becomes strength.
They share practical tools like John Eldredge’s Pause app and the H.E.A.R.T. Check, along with real stories of learning to stop controlling outcomes to find peace in the middle of uncertainty.
A reminder that control is a myth, but peace is real—and it’s found in letting go.
