Cancer & Peace Moments #6: Transactional Peace

In this episode, Peter and Sean explore the difference between earning peace and receiving it.

They talk about how easily we slip into “transactional faith” — trying to please God through effort, performance, or control — and how that striving often leads to exhaustion, not peace. Peter shares the powerful story of his 14th surgery, where he found peace not by doing more, but by simply resting in God’s mercy.

Sean ties it all together with a story from The Cure, reminding us that peace is found not on the road of pleasing, but the path of trusting.

Peace isn’t a transaction. It’s a transformation.
