No one expects to get a cancer diagnosis, but once it happens, you have to decide how to respond. I wanted to believe that my story could be redeemed and that is exactly what God is doing. Take a listen and find some inspiration for your own redemptive story.

The process of restoring or regaining soundness or good health.
Healing takes many forms. Sometimes we experience it dramatically in this life. But sometimes it comes at the end of our lives as we enter our eternal home.
We are all on a healing journey. Walking with each other and learning from each other. If I can be so bold, I believe God is using this platform as a vehicle of healing for us all… to pray for each other, encourage each other, and support one another as we walk through the ups/downs of trusting God for healing and wholeness!
“Hello there! I’m Piet Van Waarde, a Cancer Warrior and Pastor/ Chaplain who values one-on-one interactions. I believe these moments are the ones that make us. These are the times where we get to choose what we’re about, what we believe in, and what we’ll fight for. We can choose to either back out or dig deep. And we don’t have to do it alone.”
M. Scott Peck said it right when he started his bestselling book, The Road Less Traveled with these words, “Life is difficult!”
The Christian faith promises that the teachings of Jesus help us navigate life’s challenges with courage and confidence. But once you are in middle of that hardship, it is hard to know how to lean into those teachings when everything inside says, “Run! Hide! This makes no sense!”
I believe these moments are the ones that make us. These are the times where we get to choose what we’re about, what we believe in, and what we’ll fight for. We can choose to either back out or dig deep. And we don’t have to do it alone.
I’m Piet. As someone who’s been doing the “faith thing” for decades, I’m quite familiar with the ups and downs of the journey. I will not give you superficial answers to complicated questions. Instead, I’m here to walk with you and encourage you as we keep the faith together.
No matter what you are facing, you can keep on healing and growing by continuing to say “yes” to the kind of life that may not be easy but can be deeply satisfying and full of meaning. And I’m here to support that effort.
A place of encouragement and partnership for people, each on their own healing journey.
Meet God where you are with thoughtful resources designed to lead you deeper.
A safe place for the black sheep where you can find your flock – and stay strong in the journey.
