Episode 1 - Introducing the Made for PAX Bible Studies with Tiffany Bluhm

I am so excited to kick off this special series of the podcast with Tiffany Bluhm (www.tiffanybluhm.com/) , executive director of an amazing organization called Made for Pax (www.madeforpax.org/) ! She’s been on the podcast before and it was an incredible conversation (thatmakestotalsense.com/podcast/episode-275-tiffany-bluhm/) . This time, we are setting up what will be an eight-part series where we will discuss each of four bible studies published through a partnership between Made for Pax and InterVarsity Press. They are beautiful studies, each tackling different topics that are so relevant today, especially for Christians navigating our polarizing political and social climates. Tiffany shares a little about the work of Made for Pax and why the release of each of these studies—focusing on peace, migration, mental health, and liberation—are so timely and meaningful today.
