In this heartfelt episode of the Sex, God, & Chaos podcast, hosts Ben Derrick and Roane Hunter delve into the complexities of Ben's health journey. Ben candidly shares his experiences, from his cancer diagnosis in 1997 to the present-day challenges he faces as a result of the long-term effects.

Throughout the episode, Ben emphasizes the importance of faith and community support in navigating life's uncertainties. His relationship with God, his family, and his community forms the foundation of his resilience.

Roane and Ben also explore the role of emotional awareness in personal growth.
Ben reflects on how confronting his fears and trusting in a higher purpose has shaped his approach to life. This journey is not only about surviving but thriving by embracing honesty and vulnerability. The conversation touches on the impact Ben has had on others, especially in his work with men across the country, including those in the Special Forces and National Guard.
