Your marriage feels like a battleground, and your kids are 'off the derech.' Is it possible to find peace (shalom bayis) in the chaos? The answers you need are in this raw and honest Q&A episode.
In a world often governed by force, Quakers have stood apart for centuries with a radical commitment to peace. But this isn't just a political stance; it is a spiritual practice that challenges us to see the Divine in everyone—even our enemies. This week, we dive into the history of the Peace Testimony and explore how its living wisdom can guide us through modern conflict. Become a monthly supporter! Sign up for the Daily Quaker Message.

If a person is going through a difficult time, it is very easy for him to blame other people and circumstances for it. It may seem that someone was directly responsible for causing the difficulty. It may seem that if certain things were done differently, it could have been avoided. And so the person thinks about all the "what if's" and how things should have been different. It is during these times that a person has a big opportunity to shine, to see through what meets the eye and recognize that it was Hashem who was behind it all. Although what happened might not seem to be fair, it's up to the person to say, "It must be for my best, I will not blame anyone. I will accept that this is from Hashem. I will do my best to maintain loving and peaceful relationships with all of those around me." This avodah is extremely valuable. It could very well be that one of the reasons the difficulty occurred was specifically to give the person the opportunity to go through it with emunah which will then open the door for Hashem to shower him with blessing. I read a story in the Machon Shaar HaBitachon that a man, who we'll call Shimon, related about how he became extremely wealthy. He said he is the youngest in a large family. His father worked hard to provide for them and managed to marry off all of them. All of his brothers got apartments, but when it was his turn, his father had already gotten sick and a short while later he passed away. After the shiva, his brothers sat together to discuss how to divide up the estate. Shimon was sure he was going to get his father's apartment since he was the only one who didn't get one. But not everybody felt the same way and being that there were a total of ten brothers, there were many different opinions. The majority consensus was to sell the apartment and divide the proceeds equally, but that was going to take time. In the meantime, Shimon had to rent his own apartment with no financial help. He was so upset, he went to his rabbi and asked if he could halachically demand the apartment for himself, after all, everyone else got their own apartment and his father was going to get him one too. The rabbi said, "You have a great case, but I have a piece of advice for you that will gain you much more: Shalom is worth millions. Don't fight with them. Accept your lot in order to gain peace and you'll see you'll only gain from it." Shimon took the rabbi's advice. It was not easy, being that his family was growing and he really needed the money. From then on, each time he passed his childhood home he would think of his brothers, living peacefully in their own homes while he had to work day and night to cover his rent. He wished he was able to accept this inwardly with more happiness, but he wasn't on the level yet. Nonetheless, outwardly he was able to maintain shalom and that avodah elevated him greatly. He decided to learn a profession and started advertising a service that he could provide. In the beginning, the customers came in a slight trickle, but after a while they were coming in droves. He had to hire more workers and open more branches and after a few years he was earning millions. Hashem sent His blessing in a way he could never have imagined. At one point, one of his brothers who had been opposed to giving him that apartment, needed a medical procedure that cost a half a million dollars that he couldn't afford. Shimon heroically stepped up and paid for the entire procedure out of his own pocket. He did not take revenge or bear a grudge. And he testified that after that episode, his business success began to hit new levels. His ability to rise above the difficult circumstance he was put in opened the door for Hashem's blessings to come pouring in. While going through any difficulty, it's very hard to do it with emunah. But with a little chizuk, everyone can find within themselves the strength to persevere.

From the very beginning, God's intention for humanity was not striving but rest.In this message from our In the Beginning series, we return to the opening pages of Scripture to rediscover what it truly means to be human. Before sin, before achievement, before responsibility, God invites humanity into something foundational: life with Him. Genesis reveals a God who completes creation not with more work, but with rest, declaring the world whole, full, and more than enough.This teaching challenges the story our culture tells us that our worth is found in productivity, independence, or performance. Instead, we see that our first calling as humans is not what we do for God, but how we live with God and with one another in His world. We were created to rest with Him, to trust Him, and to receive grace before we ever earn it.Through the rhythms of creation, the pattern of Sabbath, and the life of Jesus Himself, we are reminded that rest is not an escape. It is an act of trust. It is the place where identity is restored, grace is received, and humanity is made whole again.This message invites us to ask deeper questions woven into the fabric of creation.What are we living fromWhere do we find our worthWhat does it look like to live fully human in God's presenceYou were not created to hustle for God. You were created to be with Him. And in that withness, life begins again.

We're so glad you are here! Thanks for checking out Sunday's message!-- SUNDAY'S NOTES --Peace (English) is defined as: freedom from conflict, disturbance, or trouble.Shalom (שָׁלוֹם) - Eirēnē (εἰρήνη) - - A state of wholeness, quiet joy and rest. The deep breath of the soul. The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. Psalm 23:1 ESVPeace - The comfort found in my confidence in my Father and the love He has for me. Casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you. 1 Peter 5:7 ESVPeace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. John 14:27 ESV Without God's peace (Shalom), we are restless, anxious, drama driven, and defeated. God's Peace is found in His Presence -In peace I will both lie down and sleep; for you alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety. Psalm 4:8 ESVWhen I am where you are, I have peace, and no where else.Where shall I go from your Spirit? Or where shall I flee from your presence? If I ascend to heaven, you are there! If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there! If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there your hand shall lead me, and your right hand shall hold me. If I say, “Surely the darkness shall cover me, and the light about me be night,” even the darkness is not dark to you; the night is bright as the day, for darkness is as light with you. Psalm 139:7-12 ESVGideon built an altar to the lord and named it Yahweh-Shalom (which means “the LORD is peace”) Judges 6:24 NLTYahweh-Shalom! When my heart is His presence, His peace is my heart.2) God's Peace is Personal The Lord is my Shepherd. Psalm 23:1 ESVHe makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul. Psalms 23:1-3 ESVSoul rest and restoration are found in an intentional everyday relationship with Jesus.The soul of the sluggard craves and gets nothing, while the soul of the diligent is richly supplied. Proverbs 13:4 ESVIf your life with God is reduced to a formula without relationship, you'll still struggle to find peace.May the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in every way. 2 Thessalonians 3:16 ESVEven though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me. Psalm 23:4 ESV3) God's Peace is PowerfulIn a world of shifting sand and uncertainty! - You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you. Trust in the LORD forever, for the LORD GOD is an everlasting rock. Isaiah 26:3-4 ESVMaybe the most impressive thing about God's peace, is that He produces it in the most improbable places. Though the mountains move and the hills shake, my love will not be removed from you and my covenant of peace will not be shaken,” says your compassionate LORD.

In this episode, Ken Shuman circles back to three characteristics of shalom he had shared with the group previously - that where shalom is, everyone has enough, no one is afraid, and there is inclusive, loving community - and responds to a group member's question about how to actually live out these things in real life and real time. His practical, powerful, and wholehearted suggestions point a way forward for us to embody shalom in a world ripped apart by division and violence.This episode was recorded on January 16th, 2026.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Sunday morning, the 18th of January, 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in 1 Kings 17:16:”The bin of flour was not used up, nor did the jar of oil run dry, according to the word of the Lord which He spoke by Elijah.” It did not run out. There was enough for the widow and for her little boy. How is it with you today? Do you feel that you don't even have food for tomorrow, what is this year 2026 going to do for me? I don't know how I am going to make it. Am I talking to you, my dear friend? I don't know whether I'm going to be made redundant. I don't know whether my work will not be available when I go back. Well, let's go now to Matthew 6:25: “Therefore I say to you (Jesus said), do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?” Don't worry about what you will eat or what you will wear. Be more concerned about your spiritual well-being. Ask yourself a question this morning, I'm going to ask myself the very same question. Has He ever let us down? Have we ever gone truly hungry? No, that's why we are still alive. As a farmer, I have been through some terrible droughts. I've been through some terrible floods. I've been through some terrible economic recessions, political unrest, but I've always been able to put food on the table for my wife and my children. No, it might not be fancy food but we've never gone to bed hungry.I want to encourage you to start to praise God because He's a good Father. He sent Elijah to that old lady. She was preparing her last meal, but the prophet tested her, ”Give me something to eat.” She said, ”I only have one meal.” “Give me something to eat.” She did and the flour never ran out and the oil never ran out until the drought was over. It's happened on this very farm Shalom. Many a year I've thought, Lord, I've driven around in my bakkie early in the morning and there's just nothing there, just drought looking me in the eye. Oh, but supernaturally we reap the crop. We paid our debt and we got through one more year.This year look to the Lord of the harvest, and He will take care of every one of your needs.Jesus bless you and have a wonderful year.Goodbye

Peace is often defined as the absence of conflict, but the biblical picture goes deeper: wholeness, completeness, Shalom.In this episode, Pastor Tom Kang offers a brief setup on the kind of peace Jesus gives, peace in the storm, not just after it. Then we share a 10 minute guided prayer led by Father Michael Sparrow, rooted in a historic Christian practice that helps us surrender anxious thoughts, a divided heart, our past, and our future to the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.If your life feels scattered or heavy, this is a simple way to slow down, breathe deeply, and return to the presence of God.Listen and pray: newstorychurch.com/prayerforpeace
Olivier Melnick is the founder and executive director of Shalom in Messiah Ministries. Olivier is the son of Holocaust survivors from France. He is an international speaker and an authority on the topic of antisemitism, speaking against it in all forms. He seeks to educate and mobilize Christians to fight the hate while rebuilding bridges with the Jewish people. He's the author of the book, Antisemitism in the End Times. This past Saturday, the oldest synagogue in Mississippi was set ablaze in an arson attack. The FBI and the Joint Terrorism Task Force are investigating. Last week, an anti-Jewish mob descended on a synagogue and Jewish school in New York City screaming, "Long live October 7th!" Such incidents directed against Jews are unfortunately becoming more common. But why? The answer starts by defining certain terms. For example, do you know who the "Semites" are and their history? Do you know what the terms "Zionist" and "Zionism" mean and that there are numerous forms of the latter? How does Oliver define "antisemitism"? These are some of the things you need to know so that you can better understand how the rise of the world's oldest hatred is paving the way for the return of Christ.

By Matt King - Is peace simply the absence of conflict, or is it something deeper? Explore the contrast between the world's fragile, situational peace with the enduring peace offered by Jesus Christ. True peace isn't an escape from hardship; it is a foundational reality that remains intact through pain and
Pressure is a defining part of the journey of every Christ follower. By using Luke 22:54-62 as a backdrop, I begin to examine a series of concepts relating to this topic. Do you follow Christ from a distance? Listen and be blessed. Shalom! Audio Download
