Episode 4 - Peace with Drew Jackson

Any time I get to talk with Drew Jackson, it is a complete joy for me! And, as you may have guessed from that opening statement, Drew is no stranger to the podcast (I highly encourage you to catch our other conversations about his books of poetry on the coming of Christ (thatmakestotalsense.com/podcast/episode-110-drew-jackson/) and the Gospel of Luke (thatmakestotalsense.com/podcast/episode-184-drew-jackson/) ). This time, he’s here talking about his study in the Made for Pax series, Let Peace Reign: Love, Justice, and Dignity in God’s Kingdom--A 6-Week Interactive Bible Study with Video Access (www.ivpress.com/let-peace-reign) by Drew Edward Jackson, and it is a good one! There are lots of conversations about peace and unity right now in our Christian communities, but what does that really mean? What does peace look like when there seems to be so much strife and injustice all around us? How can we follow the example of Jesus, especially as he announces his ministry in Luke, in our current contexts today? This conversation and study are incredible places to start diving deeply into those questions and more.
