About this episode
The episode discusses how Christians can embody Jesus' message of peace in a violent world, featuring guest Jason Porterfield.
Christians are struggling with how to live like Jesus in a violent world. Influencers, politicians, and political pundits are telling us that we need to fight to take America back. When, in the midst of an ever-increasing culture war, we hear that Jesus advocates for radical change not through waging war but by waging peace , many of us roll our eyes and think, “Pie in the sky thinking.” Easter week is the culmination of the earthly ministry of Jesus. Our guest, Jason Porterfield , has written a book about Holy Week that will shake us out of our lethargy about hoping for peace. He is the author of a fa ntastic book, titled, Fight Like Jesus: How Jesus Waged Peace throughout Holy Week (Herald Press, 2022), an award-winning book that equips readers with practical peacemaking skills as it examines how Jesus waged peace on each day of Holy Week.
