How We’re Doing After Our Son’s Passing

Hey everyone, Josh Peck here, I hope you’re doing well. I wanted to do a quick update for you all today because, as many of you know, our 11 year old son, Nathan, lost his battle with cancer and went home to be with the Lord a little more than two weeks ago. I haven’t been posting online as much during this time, for obvious reasons. But now I feel like it is a good time to let you know how we’ve been doing and what to expect for the future.

First, I want to show you an excerpt on something I wrote about three weeks before Nathan passed:

I do not know what the future holds. I do not know if God will heal Nathan or not. What’s so strange in our modern version of Christianity is that there are people that would hear me say that as Nathan’s father and cringe. They would think that it is a lack of faith on my part to even question that God will heal him. But the truth is, that is more of a strange, modern interpretation that is not rooted in the Bible. It’s rooted, unfortunately, in false teachings and many, many Christians have bought into it. I don’t want to be presumptuous. I want to be humble before the Lord. I know in my heart beyond all knowledge and wisdom that the Lord is able to heal my son if He so chooses. But in this matter, I don’t know what God wants to do. All I can do is trust in Him no matter the outcome.

Either way, I want to make something clear. No matter what happens, Satan has no victory here. The enemy has no claim over my son. If Nathan is healed, we will all rejoice and praise God together. If Nathan is not, then we will know he is safe with Jesus. Either way this pans out, it is a victory for Jesus. The greatest miracle is not when the blind see, the lame walk, or the cancerous are healed. Those miracles are temporary because it is still appointed for man to die. The greatest miracle is that we, who were dead in our sins (not just sick in our sins, but dead), can be brought and raised up into eternal life through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. The greatest miracle is that Satan, who had us in bondage, has been defeated at the cross. The greatest miracle is that God, who loves us so much He gave the life of His only begotten Son for us, has provided the only way to eternal life through Jesus Christ. And that true healing miracle, that spiritual healing and reconciliation to God, is a miracle that is available to all of us and will never end. A miracle of physical healing, while desperately wanted and pleaded for, still pales in comparison to what God has already provided through Jesus.

The enemy might be able to destroy our bodies, but he has no claim over our souls if we are secure in Jesus, and Nathan most certainly is. So yes, please keep praying for Nathan’s physical healing in accordance with God’s will. But, if the Lord in His infinite wisdom ultimately decides to deny that request, do not ever consider that a failure of faith or belief. Do not give Satan that false victory. Rather, we need to remember that the true miracle, Nathan’s true healing, has already been accomplished at the cross.

We will all need to still give God the glory and trust in His decisions, even if we don’t fully understand them on this side of eternity. We don’t need to understand them. We just need to keep the true faith, trust in God, and love Him and each other with all our hearts, minds, and souls. If we do that, there is no victory for Satan here. No matter what happens, there will only be glory for our God, and His light will ultimately cancel out all darkness.

 

“I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death. O Death, I will be your plagues! O Grave, I will be your destruction! Pity is hidden from My eyes.”

Hosea 13:14

 

54 So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: “Death is swallowed up in victory.” 55 “O Death, where is your sting? O Hades, where is your victory?”

1 Corinthians 15:54-55

 

10 Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth! 11 The Lord of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge.

Psalm 46:10-11

 

I want all of you to know, first and foremost, that Christina and I still hold to every word of that excerpt, as do our four remaining children. Now, that is not to say it hasn’t been a difficult time. It’s been absolutely heart-wrenching. Christina and I have not had a good night’s sleep since it happened. One thing I’ve learned through this is how differently men and women grieve. But the good thing is, while we definitely grieve differently, there’s a huge strength in that. Christina is stronger in areas that I am weak, and I am stronger in areas she is weak. God created male and female for a reason, and we praise God that we have each other through this time. Even through the darkest storm, our love for one another, our children, and most importantly Jesus Christ who is the center of everything we do, brings us light and sustains us. So, I just wanted to assure everyone, we are not losing faith, we are not in a crisis of doubt or anything over this, and just like I said in the previous excerpt, we are continuing to praise God in all things.

 

Now that that’s out of the way, I wanted to talk a bit about where we are now and what the future will look like. Probably the best description of our present situation is written in my latest update on our GiveSendGo campaign, which is as follows:

 

It is with a heavy heart that I (Nathan’s father) inform you that Nathan went home to be with the Lord on Monday, Sept. 22nd, 2025. He fought an extremely rare form of cancer bravely, but in the end, his heart couldn’t keep up the fight anymore. He went fast with no prolonged suffering. We want to thank all of you who have kept him in prayer. Please know that those prayers were not in vain. Our son lives with Jesus now.

We are now updating this campaign to reflect our financial need for his remaining hospital bills, funeral expenses, and housing for our family. For those who don’t already know, we have had to evacuate our home due to a very serious mold issue. It was caused by a pipe bursting last November; our renters sent out a team to fix it, but apparently they did not do it properly and when the warm weather came earlier this year, the mold started to grow. This is what the mold report found out. It is now unlivable. Because of this, our entire family has had to live in Airbnbs for the last several weeks. We are essentially homeless. On top of that, our renters informed us that they will continue charging us rent until we can move all of our things out. Because of the mold, we have had to throw away a lot of our things, such as beds, furniture, clothes, and anything else the mold has ruined. House rent, Airbnb rentals, hospital bills, funeral expenses, many new household items, clothes, and everything else we need to keep our family of us and our four remaining children is, as you can imagine, piling on quite a bit.

 

I also want to announce that I have dropped out of the upcoming Prophecy Watchers conference in Norman, Oklahoma. It’s a shame because I was really looking forward to seeing you all there, but during this time it is more important and needed that I spend that time with my family to figure everything out. I absolutely do plan on making the next one and, if the Lord wills it, I will have some pretty big and new things to talk about.

 

As I’m sure you understand, things are hectic and it’s difficult to predict what the near future holds, but I’ll give some of my thoughts. We have found a house that we are trying to get, but buying a house has become increasingly more complicated and time-consuming in recent years. This has been the most involved and intense home-buying experience I’ve ever gone through and it’s been a rollercoaster of stress and other negative emotions. But, again, that’s when I have to remind myself that the Lord provides and, whatever happens, it is within His perfect plan. If everything goes to plan, we should be able to close on the house in a few days, but there are still a lot of things that can go wrong.

 

We are also having to replace all of our furniture and clothes. Not only was everything infected with a dangerous amount of mold, but since we haven’t been living in the house, a swarm of cockroaches apparently moved in, and so now we’re having to start from scratch on pretty much everything except some electronics and a couple of dressers. We aren’t receiving any help from our renters and, with them still charging us rent while we’re having to pay for Airbnbs, a funeral, medical bills, and other things, this is all obviously very financially straining.

I am human just like everyone else, so I’m asking for prayer because I’m very angry at the renters for how they’re deciding to handle this, and I’m trying my best to get through it. Now, I know a lot of people are going to tell me I should sue. You’re probably right, and in any other circumstance, I probably would. I still might, I don’t know. But, for right now, I just plain don’t have the energy, time, or finances to want to deal with it. As many of you who follow us already know, we just finished a lawsuit against a truck company because one of their drivers ran a red light, totaled our car, and almost killed my entire family. That lawsuit dragged on for months and, while we were eventually compensated, it took a lot out of us emotionally and mentally. I don’t know if we’re prepared for that again, especially right now. I also do not want to make a big decision like that in haste and in anger. I would want to know for sure the Lord is directing us to do it and that we were prepared before I would want to consider legal action. For now, as I’m sure you can understand, I’m not sure that we are ready for that yet. So please keep us in prayer that the Lord will direct our path and that, however it all works out, justice is served.

Now let’s get to some more positive things. First, I do plan on continuing The Sharpening Report. I’ve been taking it really easy the past couple weeks and haven’t been posting much, but I have an exciting episode that I am hoping to be able to release this week. Again, that depends on the needs of my family, of course. If I can’t get it out this week, I’ll try for next week. The episode will either be one part or two parts. I will find out when I record it. The episode itself is really unique and I am very excited for it. Some of you might be familiar with the name Jeffrey Mardis. He’s the guy that creates all of my book covers and book covers for a lot of other people in our field. Basically, if you’ve seen a book cover that looks absolutely stunning from one of us prophecy researchers, it was probably Jeffery Mardis who made it. Well, Jeffrey is a lot more than just an excellent artist, he’s also a brilliant researcher and has written several books. The reason you might not have heard of him is, because of some health issues, he is unable to participate in podcast interviews or anything that is audio and/or video. However, I believe we came up with a workaround. This will be a totally new thing for The Sharpening Report, never tried before, and it’ll be a really cool experiment to see if this kind of thing can take off. Basically, I emailed Jeffrey a written interview for his book, The Prince of the Power of the Air, and he wrote back his answers. For the next episode of TSR, I plan on not only reading my questions in typical interview style, but will also read Jeffery’s answers so you can all benefit from his amazing research. If this takes off, I could see doing more interviews like this with Jeffrey, and he has already expressed interest in that. So, if all goes to plan, be looking forward to that either this Friday at 5pm or next Friday at the same time. 

As always, if you are a member at DailyRenegade.com or JoshPeck.Substack.com or both, you will have early access to the full interview before it is available on YouTube, Rumble, or anywhere else.

 

I am hoping that within the next several weeks or so, things will slowly get back to normal. Actually, I should say, it will probably take us a few weeks to learn and live out what our new normal is now. But again, I believe the Lord will continue to provide and will lay out the path He wants us to take ahead of us. I want to thank you all so much for you prayers, encouragement, and generosity. We wouldn’t have been able to make it this far without you and, while there is obviously a part of our lives now that feels missing and void, we are optimistic for the future. For all of us Pecks, we love you all and until next time, take care and God bless.
