Can Peace Be Chosen? | Building Personal, Social & Political Peace (S7 • Ep5)

In this episode

• 🌏 Global Greeting of the Week: Japan — Konnichiwa (and how bowing = respect)

• 📰 News you can use:

  • Nigeria: Tanker explosion & the poverty dilemma

  • Japan: First female PM—progress, optics, or both?

• 🧠 Main Topic: Peace you can practice

  Personal peace: knowing yourself & receiving “My peace I give you” (John 14:27)

  Social peace: dignity, empathy, inclusion (love your neighbor)

  Political peace: justice, participation, transparency (Romans 12:18)

Big ideas

• Conflict is inevitable—destruction isn’t

• Choose reconciliation over retaliation

• Closure doesn’t always come from others (sometimes you decide it)

• Protect the peace: gratitude, boundaries, safe conversations, grace in stressful weeks

💬 Question of the day: What does protecting peace look like for you this week?

🙏 Prayer & blessing at the end + birthday shout-outs, community love, and one very cheesy bomb-squad joke.
