Confronting Chaos: The Bold Call to Be a Biblical Peacemaker
In this episode Justin continues talking about the distinction between being a peacemaker and a peacekeeper, emphasizing the active role of peacemakers in building shalom—God's peace, wholeness, and security—in their spheres of responsibility. He contrasts this with the passive, often cowardly approach of peacekeepers who avoid conflict and compromise with chaos, allowing destructive elements to persist. He shares Biblical insights to underscore that wise individuals build peace actively, while the foolish passively tear it down. Through a personal anecdote about being physically attacked with a Bible by someone rejecting peace, Justin illustrates the challenges peacemakers face, urging listeners to embrace their God-given authority to enforce shalom in their lives and not shy away from necessary confrontation.
