In today's Morning Manna, Rick Wiles and Doc Burkhart examine Proverbs 25:23–24, where Solomon addresses two of the greatest threats to peace: the destructive power of gossip and the misery of continual strife. The study explores how righteous disapproval can silence a backbiting tongue, why believers must refuse to participate in slander, and what Scripture teaches about living in an atmosphere of constant contention. Drawing from both the King James Version and the Septuagint, Rick and Doc show that genuine peace requires both the courage to confront sin and the wisdom to recognize when conflict has become spiritually destructive.

Nate Hackman shares a thought-provoking message on the BIC core value of Pursuing Peace, focusing on Philippians 2!

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on May 24, 2026) In this sermon, we return to the Book of Romans and find ourselves in the middle of Paul’s admonitions to the weaker and stronger brethren. He declares that peace is the ultimate goal of our existence in the church, and he exhorts us to “follow...

In this opening message, we lay a theological foundation for the journey ahead by asking: What is conflict, how do we typically respond to it, and how does God call us to address it? We'll weave together three strands of biblical truth: our identity in Christ as one body, the Spirit‑formed virtues of humility, gentleness and patience, and the triune God who embodies perfect unity. Let's pursue peace together.

What would change if peace became your priority instead of just your preference?In this message, Pastor Kenneth Mulkey explores what Scripture teaches about pursuing peace in our relationships. Be encouraged to cultivate God's peace in your own heart, speak life-giving words, and take practical steps toward healthier, stronger relationships.

Deborah Coviello has spent her career walking into businesses with quality crises and operational pressure, and walking out with stronger leaders behind her. In this conversation with Mark Graban, she shares the favorite mistake that taught her one of her most lasting lessons. Episode page with links and more At a global leadership meeting, Deb presented her plan to turn around the worst-performing region in her company by leading differently rather than firefighting harder. Her peers loved it. Her boss told her she had spent too much time on her leadership style and not enough on tactics. She left the room deflated. Eighteen months later, her region had moved from fourth out of four to second - by focusing on her people's confidence, capability, and capacity instead of working them harder. The deeper mistake, she tells Mark, wasn't the presentation itself. It was skipping the change management step of running her new thinking past her boss first - and later, staying in a role longer than she should have because the title felt like security. The conversation also covers her lift-light-lead framework, why "you shouldn't have said that" is the wrong response to an employee speaking up, and the argument behind her new book: peace of mind is a leadership outcome worth more than the next quarter's results.

Pastor Kyler preaches this week from the final verses in 1 Thessalonians. He draws our attention to how we can live at peace with one another as the body of Christ.

Grab a beverage and settle in at The Cafe, part of the Brewed Awakenings series, where panelists Nicole Sherer and Mary Cusack explore what it truly means to pursue peace in today's polarized world. Drawing from different generations and life experiences, they reflect on how peace is practiced not only through public action like nonviolent protest, but also through everyday choices, courageous conversations, and personal transformation. From college classrooms to community activism, the discussion highlights how education, faith, and community can inspire meaningful steps toward justice and reconciliation.  Books recommended in this episode: Jesus and Nonviolence, by Walter Wink (Fortress Press: 2003) Listen to more episodes in the Brewed Awakenings series. Download TranscriptThanks for listening to Faith Unfiltered!Follow us on Facebook and Instagram!Intro and Outro music used with permission: “For Everyone Born,” Community of Christ Sings #285.

For the past eight years since Founding CW Intentional, much of this work has lived inside private conversations, consulting rooms, strategic sessions and long conversations with people navigating moments of transition — leaders, founders, and individuals who had insight, awareness, and even success, yet still felt looming tensions inside the lives they had built.Over the years my podcast has shifted, often in sync with my evolution, from Pursuing Peace, Intentional Life & Business Design, and now Becoming Home.In this transition episode, I share why this new space — Becoming Home with Classie Watson — exists and the deeper conversations that inspired it. Much of what we call growth focuses on awareness: understanding patterns, recognizing trauma, identifying behaviors. But insight alone does not always translate into lived change. Many thoughtful, perceptive people can see their patterns clearly and still feel unable to live differently.That distance between understanding and embodiment is where much of this work lives.This podcast explores the deeper architecture shaping how we live and lead — identity, nervous system regulation, internal safety, behavioral patterns, trauma imprints and the intentional design of a life that can actually be inhabited from the inside.Because real transformation isn't just about knowing yourself.It's about becoming someone who can live inside the life you are building. It's about designing a life your nervous system can rest in - in your relationships, leadership, and work.If you've ever found yourself asking deeper questions about alignment, healing, leadership, or the life you're designing, this conversation is for you.Welcome to Becoming Home.About the Podcast Becoming Home with Classie Watson explores identity, nervous system regulation, trauma-informed psychology, and intentional life design. Through thoughtful reflections and conversations, the podcast examines how internal safety, belief systems, trauma imprints, and behavioral patterns shape the lives and businesses we build — and what it means to design a life that truly feels like home. Topics include: nervous system regulation, trauma-informed leadership, personal development, identity work, life design, emotional resilience, belief systems, healing patterns, and intentional living. — Connect with Classie Watson Newsletter: https://www.intentionallifeandbusiness.com/newsletter Website: https://www.intentionallifeandbusiness.com Instagram: @BecomingHomewithClassieWatson Instagram: @TheClassieWatson

How did this message challenge or reshape your definition of the blessed life?2. How is God's definition of blessed different than ours?Choosing Character on Purpose (1 Pet. 3:8-9)3. Peter lists inner qualities like unity, compassion, humility, and blessing others. Which one is hardest for you to live out consistently?Blessing Those Who Wrong You (1 Pet. 3:9)4.

Most work as farmers, craftsmen, and carpet makers within close-knit family communities. They are entirely Muslim with little access to the gospel since Scripture translation is only just beginning. This is a largely forgotten people, yet not forgotten by God. Pray for the message of Jesus to reach them through creative means, for believing families to live among them, and for the Khorasani Turk to encounter Christ as Lord.FinancesWeekly Budget 34,615Giving For 02/15 62,919Giving For 02/22 30,796YTD Budget 1,176,923Giving 1,517,917 OVER/(UNDER) 340,994 Fellowship Youth & College Silent Auction | March 8 | 4 pm - 6pmJoin us for a fun evening supporting our mission trips to Arlington, TX, and the Czech Republic!

In a world that feels increasingly divided, how do we stay focused on what truly matters? In this special episode of the Pursue Your Passion podcast, we're deviating from our usual format to address what's going on in our world. Drawing inspiration from Mr. Rogers, Ted Lasso, and the 'Exhausted Majority,' I'm sharing five actionable steps you can take today to protect your peace and engage more deeply with your community. We'll discuss the power of a digital detox, the importance of critical thinking, and why real revival always begins at the individual level. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed or looking for a way to bridge the gap with those around you, this episode is a reminder that hope is a choice and light always drives out darkness. Join us for a conversation on prayer, perspective, and the passion for a better tomorrow. To connect with me: https://www.tylerkamerman.com/

Show Notes In the premier episode of Season 6, Jennifer and Andrea provide an update on how they did with their respective words of the year from last year before sharing their words for 2026. Quotes“The origins of true courage are always found in humility and surrender.” Alexandria DeSanctis (Evangelization Culture, issue #22) “Courage, courage, my daughters. Remember that God does not give anyone more trials than can be suffered and that his majesty is with the afflicted. For this is certain; there is no reason to fear but to hope in his mercy. He will reveal the whole truth; and some machinations, which the devil kept hidden so as to create a disturbance, will be made known.” St. Teresa of Avila“Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear—not absence of fear.” Mark TwainPrayerUnity Prayer  - Elizabeth KindlemanMy adorable Jesus, may our feet journey together. May our hands gather in unity, may our hearts be in unison, may our souls be in harmony. May our thoughts be as one. May our ears listen to the silence together. May our glances profoundly penetrate each other. May our lips speak to pray to the eternal father.ScriptureLuke 21:19Romans 5:3-41 Corinthians 13:1-13John 15:4Luke 10:38-42 (Martha and Mary)Book of Songs (Song of Songs)1 John 4:7LinksFlame of LoveSarah Kroger, BelovednessDeacon Joe book Diary of St. FaustinaPrayer for all of our listeners and the souls who have gone before us.Journaling QuestionsIf you had a word of the year last year, how did it go? And if not, what is a word that you feel sums up how God formed 2025 for you?Have you discerned a word for 2026? If you are still discerning, where do you feel God is guiding you? How do you see your word stretching you and helping you become all that God wants you to be? What's exciting about this? What's scary? Think of some bible references that may help you in 2026. How can your word of the year apply to these verses?In what way has your grief helped shape your word of the year? If you have followed along with a word of the year in the past, how has this built off of previous years? What can you see taking shape in the path that God has laid out for you? 

Steve Klein -- Pursuing Peace & Edification

In this series, we've been talking about four names given to Jesus before He was born. In this message, Lead Pastor Jamie Nunnally shares the significance of the name: Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6 tells us that Messiah's name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.Today we focus on Prince of Peace. In Hebrew, Sar Shalom.Sar means Captain, Chief, General, Ruler. Jesus doesn't give sentimental peace—He establishes peace by enforcing the rule of the King.So what is peace? In Hebrew, Shalom.Shalom is an all-encompassing word that describes when everything is as it should be.Calling the Messiah the Prince of Peace isn't a promise of fewer battles; it's God promising His presence through them. When your world is falling apart, God sent the One who holds all things together. He doesn't just have peace—He is peace.Peace does not come from inactivity.1 Peter 3:11 says to seek peace and pursue it. Peace won't come by doing nothing. If the world has to stop for you to have peace, you'll never have peace. Peace isn't the absence of problems; it's remaining resolute despite them.Peace does not come from control.Some people think peace comes when they get their own way. That's not peace—that's immaturity. Proverbs 3:5 reminds us to trust in the Lord and not lean on our own understanding. You cannot control your way into peace.Three Things Jesus Does as the Prince of PeaceJesus demonstrates how to live a life of peace. In Mark 4, Jesus sleeps during a storm while the disciples panic. A storm outside doesn't have to mean a storm inside. Fear responds to facts; faith responds to truth. Sometimes peace isn't God calming the storm as much as God calming His child.Jesus secured the peace treaty between God and mankind. Colossians 1 tells us that through the cross, Jesus made peace between God and humanity. You can't experience the peace of God until you've made peace with God. Peace with God isn't earned—it's received.Jesus offers us His peace. John 14:27 says Jesus gives us His peace, not the world's version. You can't have the peace of God while fighting the rule of God. Peace is a person you must yield to. Where Jesus is Lord, peace will rule; where He is not, chaos will rule.ClosingIsaiah 26:3 says God keeps in perfect peace those whose minds are fixed on Him. Peace doesn't come from changing everything around you—it comes from fixing your focus. When your thoughts are fixed on fear, peace gets blurry. When they're fixed on the Prince of Peace, clarity comes.A new year is right around the corner. What if we don't need a new year—we just need a new ruler? Where the Prince rules, His peace reigns.Are you letting Jesus be your Prince of Peace?

Segment 1: • The Southern Baptist Convention heads to Dallas—and tensions are rising. • Debates over the ERLC's purpose and women's roles in the church resurface. • Millions of dollars are at stake—are they fueling mission or bureaucracy? Segment 2: • Todd questions if the SBC is investing more in politics than people. • Al Mohler even questions the ERLC's effectiveness—so what now? • What if those dollars were redirected to direct gospel work? Segment 3: • The SBC wants unity—but disagreements over essentials threaten that goal. • True unity can't be built on compromise—it must be rooted in truth. • The Lord's Table reminds us: sin is deep, but grace is deeper. Segment 4: • As the SBC meets, deeper questions loom: Are we majoring in minors? • MacArthur and Sproul once showed how to disagree without dividing. • Maybe it's time to refocus on the gospel and rediscover love for God. ___ Thanks for listening!
