    In this episode, Roane and Ben sit down for an honest update on Ben’s recent health challenges. Ben shares the journey from his 1997 cancer diagnosis to the long-term effects he’s facing today, including the discovery that most of his pancreas has shut down and the upcoming surgery to address it. They discuss how faith, community, and emotional awareness are shaping the way he navigates this season, and why honesty in the midst of hardship matters. It’s a candid conversation about fear, trust, control, and living with purpose when the future is uncertain.
