Winning the war within means dying to our flesh daily—putting the flesh to death to discern the voice and leading of the Spirit—ushering in the shalom of God to and through us. 

We live in a time when the battle is no longer hidden — anxiety, violence, division, and deception press on every side. From the classroom to the boardroom, from our homes to our headlines, blows are aimed at the very place we think, hope, and believe. This fight is not against flesh and blood but against powers and principalities that seek to steal peace, distort truth, and destroy identity. In this moment, we dare not step into the fray uncovered. We must reach for a salvation that shields our minds, a word that becomes our weapon, and prayer that breathes heaven's strength into our earthly battles. This is not the work of one generation or one culture alone, but the call of the whole body of Christ, young and old, every tribe and tongue — to stand firm together covered from head to toe.

This week we dive deeper into how to bring peace in a time where there is so much division around us. Matt and Junior help lay out some practical steps to take this week to lead ourselves and those around us to hope bring hope and peace. See you this Friday at San Mateo for the Worship Night!

In this message, we dive into the increasing polarization of our world, the loss of our cultural “third places,” and the way outrage has become a business model. Drawing inspiration from C.S. Lewis' The Screwtape Letters, we explore how the real battle is not right vs. left, but darkness vs. light — and how followers of Jesus are called to wage peace instead of war. This weekend at Menlo Church, we pause our regular series for a special ACM Weekend — celebrating what God is doing in our community, confirming elders, and updating our bylaws.

We're living in a day when it feels like the very air is thick with — fear, division, and pressure coming at us from every direction. And the battle isn't only out there; it rages inside us too, with voices of doubt, anger, and discouragement. Just like the Roman soldier couldn't survive without his shield, none of us can face today unprotected. What scripture calls the shield of faith is God giving us covering, courage, and strength. And when we lift it together, faith doesn't just guard our lives — it becomes a fortress darkness can't conquer.

Every day, invisible powers are attempting to dress us — how we think, how we react, how we love, and what we fear. And often, without even noticing, we step into our day wearing their lies — clothed in worries, armored in self-protection and self-promotion. But there's another way to dress. God offers His armor—not for conquering people, but for standing firm in a world of shifting truths and manufactured fads. Dressing for the invisible war isn't just for protection; it's the daily practice of becoming who we really are in Christ.

The roots of war and conflict are apparent in how we are socialized to live our daily lives. American political and economic policies and our social imagination of the “other” entice us into a zero-sum game where mutual flourishing feels impossible. This way of thinking is inconsistent with the spiritual path of Jesus and his disciples. Instead, we are invited to wage peace within ourselves and between each other because peace and justice are inextricably linked. www.TheLoftLA.org

In this episode, we continue our Collateral Damage series—where we're thinking about women during wartime, and the unique price they pay. As various wars and conflicts continue to mount around the world, from Ukraine to Gaza, to Sudan and beyond, we're wondering: where are the women at the negotiating table? The number of women and girls living in conflict-affected countries continues to mount, reaching 614 million people in 2022—a 50-percent increase from 2017. What do governments and NGOs need to do to make sure that women's needs do not fall through the cracks?Joining us for this episode is a very special guest:Dr. Yael Braudo-Bahat: Dr. Yael Braudo-Bahat is the co-director of Women Wage Peace, an Israel-based organization with the goal of empowering women from diverse communities to build trust across divides, leading in turn to a unified demand for diplomatic negotiation, with full representation of women, to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Check out this episode's landing page at MsMagazine.com for a full transcript, links to articles referenced in this episode, further reading and ways to take action.Tips, suggestions, pitches?

This week, we share the recording of a recent “Second Wednesday” gathering in Northern Virginia, where we were joined by David Katibah of Telos Group, an organization forming communities of American peacemakers across lines of difference and equipping them to help reconcile seemingly intractable conflicts at home and abroad.  The conflict in Israel/Palestine has been a focal point of their work since the beginning, and during this current war in the Holy Land, David shares biblical principles of peacemaking Telos is deploying in that very challenging context.  We hope you are spurred on to wage peace in your own life and context through David's words!View the slides David references HEREinthecoracle.org  |  @inthecoracleSupport the show

Study Guide Prepared by: John McVay Key Texts: Eph 6:10-20, Part 2 Key Questions In Eph 6:10-20, Paul exhorts believers to adopt an urgent, soldier-like approach to Christian discipleship and witness. How sustainable is such a “battle footing” approach? How important is the “secret weapon” of Eph 6:10-20, Christian esprit de corps, camaraderie, and community? How can we best signal our support for one another as fellow combatants in the great controversy? Granted that Paul in Eph 6:10-20 is offering a final metaphor for the church, what may we learn from the passage about our individual battles against sin and temptation? ...

Waging Peace – September 23, 2023 by Percy Harrold

I have a few very clear memories of Jimmy Carter. Not so much his actually presidency. It was all the fervor and excitement leading up to his election. Then after leaving office, President Jimmy Carter has done an incredible amount of humanitarian work. All this is on my mind as he has decided on home hospice care as he approaches the end of life. These are a few of my memories and some of my thoughts. Thanks for listening! I invite you to share this podcast, offer a comment or leave some feedback.

As we hear from her in this episode, Diana's radical conviction of peacemaking offers us a renewed sense of our own calls to be Everyday Peacemakers.
