In this powerful episode, we welcome back Dr. Pete Lac to share his miraculous healing journey after being diagnosed with terminal brain cancer and given just a 1% chance of survival. Dr. Pete describes the symptoms that led to his diagnosis, the supernatural peace God gave him in that moment, and the way Scripture had already prepared his heart to stand in faith. He explains what true biblical faith looks like, how to live from heaven’s reality, and why Jesus—not cancer—is the name above every name. Dr. Pete also walks through the five-pillar holistic protocol he used (diet, detoxification, oxygenation, supplementation, and faith), why he didn’t pursue chemotherapy, and how his story has opened doors for global ministry and hope for other cancer patients. He closes with encouragement to steward your health, live boldly for Christ, and a powerful prayer of healing for listeners.

This conversation is full of bold faith, kingdom identity, practical health steps, and miraculous testimony. It will strengthen your spirit, renew your perspective, and remind you that Jesus — not cancer — is the name above every name.
