In this episode of Hope for the Caregiver, I reflect on our 118-day (and counting) hospital journey as Gracie prepares for her 98th surgery. From surgical setbacks to worn-out mattresses, it’s been a long road—but not without unexpected laughter, grace, and even a surprising riff from Gracie that would’ve made James Brown smile.

We dig into the importance of vigilance—not just physical, but spiritual and emotional. I share thoughts on situational awareness, the loss of basic decorum in our culture, and what it means to see and respond to the pain in others. Whether it's the young man who doesn't know how to hold a door or the weary soul behind the mop, we're called to be ready—to serve, to comfort, and to live alert to the needs around us.

If you're a caregiver, or just someone trying to walk through this world without getting swallowed by it, this one's for you.

fter more than 110 days in the hospital and Gracie approaching her 98th surgery, this episode explores what real faith looks like in the trenches of caregiving. I share two jaw-dropping moments with Gracie—responses to a psychiatrist that left us all speechless—and unpack what it means to trust “El Roi,” the God who sees, even when our view is blocked by suffering, hospital walls, or exhaustion.

We talk about the daily grind of hospital life, how caregivers can practice faithful stewardship of their minds and bodies, and yes—how even pancakes can test your resolve. I also share how Scripture, hymns, and daily devotional habits have carried me through this long stretch.

If you’ve ever wondered how to find hope when the days blur together, or what caregiving looks like with 98 surgeries behind you, this is the one to hear. Faith in suffering, joy in hardship, and the daily resolve to keep walking—these aren’t theories. This is the day the Lord has made—even here.

Includes reflections on:
• Christian caregiving
• Psalm 118 & the Hallel Psalms
• Hospital survival strategies
• Marriage and disability
• Devotional insights for caregivers
• Singing hymns through suffering
• The joy of the Lord in hardship

As America reflected on Trump's first 100 days, Peter Rosenberger reflects on 100 straight days in the hospital with his wife Gracie—her 95th surgery behind them, and hard lessons ahead. With hospital humor and deep spiritual insight, he unpacks what it means to endure, produce, and even minister while suffering. From “code blues” to a “Code Grace,” this episode offers raw hope from the front lines of caregiving.
