Are you searching for lasting peace amid life’s storms? Stress, anxiety, and uncertainty are common struggles, but the peace Jesus offers is unlike anything the world can give. In this devotional, Vivian Bricker shares how the peace of Christ surpasses temporary fixes and brings lasting transformation. Through trusting Jesus as Savior and Lord, we can experience a profound peace that calms our hearts even in difficult times. Highlights The world offers fleeting relief through self-help tips and distractions, but Jesus offers lasting peace that truly satisfies (Philippians 4:7). Accepting Jesus as your Savior—believing in His death and resurrection—is the key to receiving His peace (1 Corinthians 15:1-4; 1 John 3:1). Jesus’ peace does not fade or get taken away, even when life feels chaotic (John 14:27). You can surrender your worries, anxieties, and fears to Jesus and find rest at His feet (John 16:33). Lasting peace often grows gradually; remain open-hearted and patient as Jesus works in your life. Counseling and therapy can coexist with faith, complementing the peace Jesus provides.

Donald Trump has claimed that a ceasefire has been declared in the war between Israel and Iran. Releasing a statement on Tuesday morning NZ time, Trump said there’d be a “complete and total ceasefire” in what he’s calling the “12 day war”. He said the war “could have destroyed the entire Middle East” and “could have gone on for years” but claimed both Israel and Iran came to him “almost simultaneously” and said “PEACE!” While there remains uncertainty about how long this ceasefire will last and how committed both sides are to it, there also remains questions about the legitimacy of the intelligence that sparked the targeting of Iran’s nuclear capabilities. To those familiar with how the Iraq War started, it does feel like a case of history repeating itself. Former New Zealand Prime Minister and administrator of the United Nations Development Programme, Helen Clark, was instrumental in our country not engaging in that war. She joined The Front Page on Monday afternoon, prior to the ceasefire deal being announced, to discuss her experiences with Middle East conflicts and what the world should be doing to bring lasting PEACE!

In the first four chapters of Romans, the Apostle Paul put before us the righteousness of God, the unrighteousness of man, and the truth of justification by faith alone. Paul will now place before us the great blessings of justification. All who have been justified by faith in Christ have lasting peace with God, hope in their suffering, and the assurance of God's love.

For over 40 years, the Kurdistan Workers Party, the PKK, has waged an armed insurgency against Turkey, fighting for Kurdish rights and autonomy.But in late February, Abdullah Öcalan, the PKK's imprisoned founder, called for the group to lay down its arms and dissolve itself. Days later, the PKK, which is labelled as a terrorist organisation by Turkey, Europe and the US, declared a ceasefire with Turkey. In this episode, we speak to political scientist Pinar Dinc at Lund University in Sweden about what's led to this moment and whether it could be the beginning of a lasting peace between Turkey and the Kurds. This episode was written and produced by Mend Mariwany. Sound design was by Eloise Stevens and theme music by Neeta Sarl. Full credits for this episode are available.

Maoz Inon - Building Lasting Peace Post 07/10In this transformative conversation on ROPESCAST, we welcome Israeli entrepreneur and peace activist Maoz Inon, whose personal journey exemplifies extraordinary resilience and vision in the face of tragedy.On October 7, 2023, Maoz lost both of his parents in the Hamas terror attack, yet he has found the courage and forgiveness in his heart to continue advocating for peace between Israelis and Palestinians. His story is one of transforming personal grief into a catalyst for positive change and reconciliation.Maoz shares his profound insights on peace-building, forgiveness, and how to create meaningful change even in the darkest times:"Forgiveness is the key to redeem ourselves, to free ourselves from the destiny those who harmed us chose for us. They choose for us to hate each other, but many of us are choosing a different destiny based on reconciliation and healing and human values."Perhaps most moving is his perspective on hope: "Hope is not something we can find and is not something we can lose - hope is an action. And the formula to create hope is also very simple. It's difficult to achieve but it's very simple to explain. We create hope by working together with others and envisioning a better future and acting to make it into a reality."Join us for this deeply moving conversation that transcends politics and reminds us of our shared humanity and the power of choosing reconciliation over revenge.ROPESCAST is produced by the Regional Organization for Peace, Economics & Security (ROPES), bringing together voices from across the Middle East to foster dialogue, understanding, and cooperation.

Israel and Hamas are just over two weeks into a ceasefire agreement, after fifteen months of fighting. This is a paradoxical moment to talk about long term peace. The horrific October 7th attacks and the near - destruction of Gaza that followed, served to amplify already high levels of distrust, hate, and trauma. At the same time, the war has demonstrated to Gazans that their government placed conflict with Israel above their own survival. And it has shown Israelis that an indefinite blockade of Gaza doesn't ensure their security. So while the ceasefire doesn't mean the end of the conflict by any means, it does offer an opportunity to envision a way out. Our guest for this episode is Ksenia Svetlova, an expert observer of politics and media in the Middle East and the executive director of the Regional Organization for Peace, Economics, and Security, or ROPES. Svetlova is an immigrant to Israel from the Soviet Union, an Arabic speaker and a Middle East specialist. For fifteen years. Svetlova reported from Israel, Gaza, the West Bank, and different countries in the region. She served four years in Israel's parliament representing the center-left Zionist Union Coalition. MORE FROM KSENIA SVETLOVARead: Netanyahu's phase two dilemma: Political survival vs defying President Trump, for Chatham HouseListen: ROPESCAST, the podcast from ROPESWatch: Webinars and more on ROPES' YouTube channel  ABOUT THE SHOW The Making Peace Visible podcast is hosted by Jamil Simon and produced by Andrea Muraskin.

Pastor Jim reflects on Solomon's flourishing kingdom in First Kings 3 and 4, highlighting his wisdom, justice, and governance. While Solomon's reign brought peace and prosperity, it also sowed doubt through flawed human systems. Jim contrasts this with Jesus, the righteous and eternal King who brings true Shalom—a right relationship with God and others. He emphasizes Jesus' resurrection as the beginning of a new creation, calling listeners to obedience and faith in the King who offers lasting peace.

Radical acceptance is about fully acknowledging and accepting reality as it is, especially when it's something we don't like or want to change. This approach, popularized by Dr. Marsha Linehan as part of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), encourages us to embrace what we can't control instead of resisting it. But radical acceptance isn't easy. The idea challenges our instincts, often triggering discomfort and frustration, especially if we're used to holding tightly to that illusion of being in control. Or, if you can't get past that something isn't right or fair. Today we'll explore the origins of radical acceptance, why it's so challenging, how you can incorporate this life-changing approach and, of course, my top tips for creating a life of resilience, peace, and healthier relationships.____________________________Full blog and show notes: https://abbymedcalf.com/radical-acceptance-5-steps-to-embrace-reality-for-lasting-peaceGrab my Radical Acceptance Journal Prompts: https://abbymedcalf.com/radical-acceptance-journal-promptsLearn how to create and hold healthy, loving boundaries.

Message Pastor JasonWe explore the story of King Hezekiah in Isaiah 39 and his choice to settle for "peace in his time" rather than seek lasting security for future generations. As Election Day approaches, we're reminded that our loyalty is to God's Kingdom above any earthly allegiance. Hezekiah's story reveals a powerful lesson: true peace requires a vision that goes beyond ourselves and seeks to bring Christ's peace to others—even those not yet born. Join us as we unpack what it means to carry this mission forward, so that our faith today leaves a legacy of peace tomorrow. Enjoy this message?

Following the brutal Hamas 'October 7th' attack that killed more than twelve hundred Israelis, Israel has vowed to rid Gaza of the terrorist group's control. But to ensure another 'October 7th' event won't happen again, a post-war plan for Gaza needs to be put in place for both reconstruction and new governance. What could that that plan look like? Meanwhile, in a daring rescue mission, Israeli commandos rescued a 52-year-old Bedouin man from Hamas captivity. FOX's Eben Brown speaks with John Spencer, the Chair of Urban Warfare Studies at West Point, who says the key to the future of Gaza is making sure Hamas has no control over the Palestinian people.
