There’s a new Superman movie out this month—but when I heard that, my mind flew back 38 years to Superman IV: The Quest for Peace, a cinematic trainwreck of epic proportions. The plot was absurd, the budget was anemic, and Hollywood wisely took a long break from the franchise after that. But while the movie deserves all the ridicule it gets, the title stuck with me: The Quest for Peace.

Because if you're a caregiver, you know exactly what that feels like.

In this episode of Hope for the Caregiver, I invite my fellow caregivers to join me on that very journey—the often painful, sometimes hilarious, always sacred search for peace. Peace in the middle of sleepless nights, endless medical drama, strained relationships, and a soul stretched thin.

I open up about a struggle many caregivers carry but rarely talk about: resentment. Whether it's being overlooked by family, dismissed by doctors, or just frustrated with God—or yourself—it eats away at us. Drawing from the words of C.S. Lewis, I discuss how forgiveness, anchored in God's grace, becomes a daily practice—not a feeling, and certainly not a one-time decision.

I also continue my series on “30 Hymns Every Christian Should Know,” spotlighting Great Is Thy Faithfulness. Inspired by Lamentations 3, where Jeremiah finds hope in the wreckage of Jerusalem, this hymn—written by Thomas Chisholm, who lived with chronic illness—offers a powerful reminder that God's mercy meets us every morning, even when we can barely get out of bed. I play it from the “caregiver keyboard,” the one I use for Gracie, whose voice gives it a strength words alone can't capture.

So, no, I’m not wearing a cape. I don’t fly. But after 40 years as a caregiver, I’ve learned a few things about finding peace when everything around you is breaking. Join me for this honest, gritty, and grace-filled episode.

After five months in a hospital bed, Gracie came home—hooked to drains, fragile, and unable to sit up for more than a few minutes. I pulled her out of the truck, and just as we were about to head inside, she stopped.

Eyes closed. Face tilted upward.

“Oh… that feels wonderful.”

It wasn’t a miracle.
It was a warm summer mountain breeze.

But when you’ve been breathing hospital air for nearly half a year, that breeze feels like Eden.
The cool of the day.
In Hebrew: רוּחַ הַיּוֹם (ruach hayom)—the wind of the day, the gentle breath of God that walked with Adam and Eve through their brokenness.

That’s what this episode is about.
Not just a hymn.
Not just a breeze.
But the presence of God showing up when suffering suffocates.

I also talk candidly about a hard truth for many caregivers:
“Lord, would You please just take them home?”

That’s not a death wish.
That’s not despair.
That’s faith reaching for mercy.

How Great Thou Art belongs on the front line of every caregiver’s hymnbook.
That’s why it’s part of my new series:
30 Hymns Every Caregiver Should Know.
Because sometimes your theology needs melody—when words fail and your soul forgets the tune of hope.

🎧 Listen in.
Let the mountain breeze blow.
And remember: He still walks with us.

What does it mean to be a caregiver? And where is God when the journey feels like one long, unending dirt road?

In this special episode, Peter Rosenberger defines the true heart of caregiving—not as a job, but as a calling to stand between someone’s chronic impairment and even worse disaster. Through the lens of his 40-year journey, Peter unpacks the metaphor of mining for gold amid the dirt of trauma, exhaustion, and despair.

He shares the unforgettable story of Gracie singing the Doxology moments after her second leg amputation—and how praise isn’t a luxury but a lifeline.

Peter also launches a new series: 30 Hymns Every Christian Should Know, starting with Holy, Holy, Holy—tracing its history, theology, and meaning for weary hearts.

Joined by Gracie for the final segment, this episode ends with a moving reminder: Where He is... is home.
