#24 Faith, Family, and Community: How the Peters Brothers Found Strength Through Loss
In this powerful follow-up to our conversation with their mother, Belinda Peters, Stewart sits down with Matt, Josh, and Ben Peters—three brothers who grew up as their father battled early onset dementia, leaving their mother to take on far more responsibility as a parent, carer, and wife than she had ever expected.
After hearing Belinda’s story of faith and strength as a parent, this episode offers a moving and deeply insightful perspective from the children navigating that same storm.
Matt, Josh, and Ben open up about the impact of their father’s illness on their upbringing, the quiet strength they witnessed in their mother, how their faith helped them find resilience amidst the pain, and what it was like to lose a parent at such a young age.
They reflect on the role of their church community, the importance of showing up for others, and why it’s possible to emerge from hardship with both hope and purpose.
Their story highlights the power of vulnerability, the value of ongoing support, and the strength that comes from holding onto faith and hope through life’s hardest moments.In this episode, you’ll discover:
- What it’s like to grow up with a parent facing a deteriorating illness and ultimately death.
- How a parent’s faith and intentionality can provide stability and hope.
- The importance of showing up for others—even when you don’t know what to say.
- Why having a strong community around you matters for young people.
- How each brother found purpose in helping others through their own experiences.
- Practical insights for parents and youth leaders supporting young people through trauma.
