In this episode of The Horn, marking Crisis Group's 30th anniversary, Alan Boswell speaks with president & CEO Comfort Ero about how the landscape of peacemaking has evolved since the organisation's founding in 1995. They trace how the environment for conflict resolution has shifted from the aftermath of the war in Bosnia to today's challenges, amid a second Trump presidency and an unravelling global order. They then turn to Africa, examining how leaders on the continent perceive the erosion of Western dominance and the obstacles facing efforts to resolve regional conflicts. They also discuss how the war in Sudan illustrates the difficulties of peacemaking amid a fragmenting world. Finally, they discuss the future of peacemaking amid these headwinds.

Jesse Nickel of Columbia Bible College in Abbotsford, B.C., published a compelling book last year about how Jesus' ministry and presentation of the Kingdom of God contrast with human understandings of power (A Revolutionary Jesus: Violence and Peacemaking in the Kingdom of God, Fortress Press, 2024). He talks with host Bill Fledderus about the challenge we face to understand shalom is at the heart of Jesus' teachings and life. His book is A Revolutionary Jesus: Violence and Peacemaking in the Kingdom of God (Fortress Press, 2024).

Pastor Christy Cass As we close the Made to Garden series, this message reminds us that fear doesn't have to drive us into hiding. From Genesis 3, we see the first humans cover themselves with fig leaves and hide when shame and fear entered the story. Yet God's response wasn't condemnation—it was an invitation: “Where are you?” Supporting Scriptures: Genesis 3:1–10, Proverbs 8:13, 2 Timothy 1:7, John 3:20, 1 Corinthians 10:13 Big Idea: God doesn't yell from the fence line—He walks into the garden. He comes close. The invitation is to step out of hiding, trade fear for trust, and walk with Him in the open. Key Themes & Takeaways: There are two fears in the garden: Fear that hides from God (shame, paralysis, people-pleasing). Fear of the Lord (holy awe that leads to trust and obedience). Alignment with God happens in head (truth), heart (desires), and hands (obedience). Obedience is our “yes.” Outcomes are His responsibility. Practical Steps to Live Fearless: Generosity & Hospitality → move from closed hands to open tables. Courageous Witness → everyday invitations, bold in love. Peacemaking → have hard conversations with truth and grace. Creativity & Resilience → choose fresh hope over cynicism. Community & Correction → walk together, not in isolation. Work & Integrity → live honest and excellent before God and others.

The journey through the Beatitudes in Matthew 5:1-16 reveals a radical call to live differently from the world. From the very beginning, God's desire has been for His people to be set apart, not conforming to the patterns of those around them. This call to distinctiveness is not about outward appearances or mere religious activity, but about a deep, inner transformation that begins with recognizing our spiritual poverty. When we acknowledge our need for God, we open ourselves to His kingdom and His rule in our lives.This path continues as we mourn our sinfulness, coming to a genuine realization of our brokenness and need for grace. Such mourning leads to meekness—a full yielding of our will to God, much like a well-trained horse that surrenders to its rider. This surrender is not weakness, but strength under control, directed by the Master. As we yield, a hunger and thirst for righteousness grows within us, a longing to please God and live according to His standards rather than our own desires.Mercy then flows from a heart that has received mercy. Instead of judgment, we extend compassion, remembering our own journey and longing for others to experience the same freedom. Purity of heart follows—a single-minded devotion to God, free from hypocrisy and pretense. Even as we strive for this purity, honesty about our struggles keeps us humble and real.Peacemaking becomes a natural outflow of this transformed life, as we live in the peace Christ brings and seek to reconcile others to Him. Yet, living this way often brings persecution. When we no longer fit into the world's mold, our changed lives can provoke resistance, even from those closest to us. But this is a mark of true discipleship.Jesus calls us salt and light. Salt preserves and flavors, but it also stings when it touches a wound—our lives may prick the consciences of those around us. Light exposes and guides, and we are not to hide it out of fear or shame. Instead, we are to let our light shine, openly living out our faith so that others may see and glorify God. The challenge is clear: Is there a visible difference in our lives? Are we salty? Is our light on? May we have the courage to live out this calling, empowered by Christ within us.

In the past week alone there has been an FBI raid on John Bolton's home and a threat to investigate former New Jersey governor Chris Christie due to his criticism of Trump. Every day there are new indicators to suggest the US is rapidly descending into dictatorship, with the President using the power of his office for his own ends. How can Americans stop this momentum? Andrew and Rudyard then turn to Canada's ongoing trade war with the US. Mark Carney's repeated attempts at being a reasonable interlocutor engaging in good faith negotiations is met with provocation from the US President. Andrew suggests the PM try to manage chaos and stall for time instead of trying to reach a deal. This is a problem that shouldn't be solved; it should be managed. In the final moments of the show Andrew and Rudyard talk about Carney's visit to Ukraine and his offer to send Canadian troops as part of a future security guarantee. Is it time for Canada to accept its defense limitations and its inability to act as the peacemaker it has always aspired to be? Or should we welcome this offer as an opportunity to fulfill our long neglected NATO obligations?

Plus, how Trump talks about the success of his federal takeover of the D.C. police force, and why the FBI is searching properties related to the former Trump national security adviser John Bolton.Today's show was produced by Arjun Singh.

A discussion about security as U.S. health care gets cut to fund the most gargantuan border enforcement bill ever passed. How do we create a counterforce to this?Why is it that when the word “security” is uttered, all thought and analysis go out the window? This is especially the case when people talk about “border security.” In this podcast, however, Border Chronicle founders Melissa del Bosque and Todd Miller put on their thinking caps, analyzing the first seven months of the Trump administration. They crack open the word “security” and examine its interior, hoping to better understand it and find a way out of our predicament.The discussion was spurred by the passage of the Republicans' One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which designates $170 billion for border and immigration enforcement over the next four years (also see how Melissa put this bill into a deeper historic context last week). This enforcement will be funded, in part, by significant cuts to U.S. health care, including the possible cancellation of insurance coverage for 12 million people.Does security mean more walls, more technology, more armed agents, and a border that resembles a military base? Or, as Melissa and Todd discuss in the podcast, could peacemaking play an important role in creating real security for everyone? Peacemaking is not just about ending conflict; it also means creating a world where people can be healthy and flourish.

Since the early days of the Restoration, leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have championed the fundamental human right to religious freedom. In 2023, President Dallin H. Oaks, first counselor in the First Presidency, asked, “Where would the absence of religious freedom lead society?” To consider this important question, author, researcher and professor on religious law Steven T. Collis joins Church News reporter Mary Richards on this episode of the Church News podcast. They discuss the importance of understanding religious freedom, including Collis’ conversion story; how to advocate for it by being peacemakers; and the need to promote this freedom worldwide.  The Church News Podcast is a weekly podcast that invites listeners to make a journey of connection with members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints across the globe. Hosts Jon Ryan Jensen, editor of the Church News, and Church News reporter Mary Richards share unique views of the stories, events, and people who form this international faith. With each episode, listeners are asked to embark on a journey to learn from one another and ponder, “What do I know now?” because of the experience. Produced by KellieAnn Halvorsen.

Welcome to episode 208 of Grasp the Bible.  In this episode, we conclude our series on Christian citizenship.  Today, we tackle the topic of gospel peacemaking.  Key takeaways:  While we never compromise truth for unity, we also recognize that many of our divisions stem not from essential doctrinal differences but from cultural preferences, political allegiances, or personal animosities that have become inflated beyond their proper importance.  Principles for gospel peacemaking:  We must recognize our primary identity in Christ.  When our identity in Christ becomes primary, we can navigate differences from a foundation of unity. We must practice gospel humility. We must cultivate listening love. We must distinguish between biblical absolutes and areas of Christian freedom. We must practice faith-filled conflict resolution. We must commit to speaking truth in love. Quotable:  Our peacemaking is most powerful when it flows from personal experience of God's peace. We forgive because we've been forgiven. We pursue reconciliation because we've been reconciled to God. We cross social barriers because Christ crossed the ultimate barrier for us.  Application:  Regarding political divisions, we must resist the polarization that dominates our public discourse. Regarding racial reconciliation, we must acknowledge both the progress made and the work still needed. Regarding socioeconomic divisions, we must build communities where "there were no needy persons among them" (Acts 4:34) while respecting the dignity of all members regardless of economic status. Regarding generational differences, we must honor the wisdom of older believers while embracing the fresh perspectives of younger ones. Practical steps for becoming gospel peacemakers:  Examine your own heart. Build relationships across dividing lines. Practice biblical conflict resolution when tensions arise. Support reconciliation efforts in your community. Model unity around the essentials of faith.  Connect with us:  Web site:  https://springbaptist.org  Facebook:    https://www.facebook.com/SBCKleinCampus (Klein Campus)  https://www.facebook.com/SpringBaptist (Spring Campus)  Need us to pray for you?  Submit your prayer request to https://springbaptist.org/prayer/    If you haven't already done so, please leave us a rating and review in your podcast provider.  

Retaliation isn't something we resist in our own strength, it's something we surrender to Jesus. Brittany Smigielski unpacks the radical call of Matthew 5:38–42, where Jesus confronts our instinct for revenge and invites us into a higher way, the way of peacemaking. Turning the other cheek, giving more than what's asked, walking the second mile are not passive responses. They are powerful acts of love rooted in Heaven's logic. Peacemaking is not weakness, it's courage clothed in grace. IHumility that confronts hurt, generosity that disrupts greed, and service that silences oppression. This is the way of the cross. The way Jesus lived. The way we're called to follow.

Doug Noll is a lawyer-turned-peacemaker, award-winning author, and internationally recognized expert in conflict resolution. After a 22-year career as a successful civil trial lawyer, Doug walked away from a $10 million partnership to pursue peacemaking full-time. He earned a master's degree in Peacemaking and Conflict Studies and went on to co-found Prison of Peace, a global initiative that trains incarcerated individuals to become mediators and violence de-escalators. His groundbreaking method of “listening people into existence” has helped transform the lives of thousands—from maximum-security prisons to high-level government offices. Doug is the author of several books, including De-Escalate: How to Calm an Angry Person in 90 Seconds or Less, and has been featured in hundreds of media outlets and podcasts. When he's not teaching peace, he's skiing, playing jazz violin, or watching the sunrise with his wife in the Sierra Nevada. Doug's mission is simple: teach the world emotional competence—one conversation at a time.

The sermon podcast of Redeemer City Church in Tampa, FL

How do we handle conflict in a way that honors God, promotes unity, and actually grows us instead of tearing us apart?In a world full of tension, division, and sharp disagreements, this message explores a better way—one modeled in the early church and rooted in Scripture. Through the story of Paul and Barnabas in Acts 15:36–41, we see that even faithful leaders experienced conflict, yet they didn't let it derail the mission. Their disagreement didn't lead to division—it led to multiplication.This sermon challenges us to reimagine conflict resolution within the church, not as something to avoid, but as an opportunity to reflect the heart of Jesus. When handled in a biblical way, conflict can mature us, unify us, and show the world what it means to be peacemakers.In this message, Pastor Nick Tallo will help you discover:Conflict is inevitable—even among believers (Acts 15:36–41)Disagreements don't have to be destructive; they can lead to deeper growth and greater impactWe're called to be peacemakers (Matthew 5:9) and to live at peace as far as it depends on us (Romans 12:18)You'll also hear practical tools for biblical conflict resolution—like pausing to pray, seeking wise counsel, and managing expectations. This isn't just about settling disputes—it's about being transformed. When we engage conflict through the lens of grace and truth, we reflect the heart of the One who first reconciled us to Himself.At 2Rivers, we're all about helping you become a passionate follower of Jesus so you can experience the life He designed for you—and lead others to do the same.

I'm Kay Daigle of Beyond Ordinary Women Ministries. Welcome to the third in a series of our videos on conflict with Dr. Sue Edwards from Dallas Seminary. You can read her bio online. We began by discussing Be Prepared for Conflict. And in our last video, we talked about just the Tendencies of Women—not for all women, but many women tend to deal with conflict in a certain way. And in this video, we're going to talk about Peacemaking Practices for Sisters. And I'm excited about really getting into how to take care of conflict. I'd also like to let you know that we did a series with Oletha Barnett that really gave the foundational principles that Sue's going to kind of take some of those apart in a practical way for us no—to how to make peace and what the Bible says about conflict. And so that really is important for you to have those principles you may need to go back. That would be the third video in that series called Fight Right with Oletha Barnett, which you can find on our website. And also on our Vimeo page. So, Sue, as you think about this, what are the peacemaking practices for sisters? Sue >> Well, of course, as Oletha said, Matthew 18:15-17 gives us some really three different steps and that helps us know that we want to master that. Although it's easy to make things formulaic when you're in real situations. It's not quite that easy. But still the principles in these steps that Jesus taught us are wonderful. Kay >> Well, let me ask you, before you even get into those, how do you decide that you need to go to one of those practices? How do you know when you have to sort of attack the problem rather than let it settle? Sue >> Well, I know when there's a possible relational disconnect. That to me, relationships are so important for the unity of the body—that we women work together, that we love each other, we support each other. So if there is a possibility, if I see that woman at the grocery store and I go the other aisle or I'm still having imaginary conversations with her three or four days later, then I know that this needs to be dealt with. Or if I even get a sense that she's hurt or she's avoiding me. And what we want to do is come together, but in a sense of a learning conversation. In other words, I want to sit down with you because you are important to me. I love you as a sister in Christ, and I don't want anything to interfere with our relationship. And so if there's anything that might, so there's ways to do it that are not so scary. So, a lot of times we hate this. We think it's going to get mean and confrontational. It doesn't have to. And if that person is a healthy person, then you come at it with that kind of tone of voice and hard attitude because you think there's some issue, whether they did it, whether you did it, whatever. I would go and try to work that through. And if they're healthy,

True peacemaking is a prophetic act, and yet Jesus links peacemakers with persecution and that is to be expected bc they “persecuted the prophets who were before you” Peacemaking is not pacifism. When the United States first entered World War I, the president of Columbia University in New York City sent a questionnaire to the entire faculty asking them what they proposed to do to help with the war effort. One member of the faculty, a pacifist, sent it back with this answer: "Mind my own business." That may be what a pacifist does. But it is not what a peacemaker does. A peacemaker knows that dealing with the conflict is his business. Peacemaking is not a passive characteristic. The language Jesus uses is active; a peacemaker is one who attacks the situation, who confronts it head on.

What does "Joyful Non-Compliance" look like in today's world? In this thought-provoking episode, the hosts explore how faith intersects with politics, justice, and cultural challenges. Diving into Romans 12 and 13, they discuss the biblical posture of joyful, peaceful non-compliance, emphasizing the church's role in society as a force of love, justice, and truth. From the complexities of navigating immigration issues to the tension between idolatry and injustice in government, this conversation unpacks what it means to live out cruciformity—a life shaped by the cross—in a chaotic world. Key insights include the distinction between peacekeeping and peacemaking, the theological implications of governance, and how Christians can embody a faithful, socially engaged presence amidst cultural turmoil. With practical examples and a deep dive into the text, the hosts challenge listeners to embrace a countercultural, Jesus-centered response to injustice and idolatry. Join the discussion and share your thoughts! How can we, as individuals and communities, live out this call to justice and non-compliance with humility and hope?
