In the last of our Advent conversations, Adam Hawkins welcomes back Elizabeth Woodson and Tymarcus to unpack the biblical concept of peace (shalom)—especially what it means in a season that’s often chaotic, overwhelming, and culturally mischaracterized.

Key Takeaways

True peace (shalom) is not just absence of conflict—but wholeness and restoration found only through life with God.
We can experience real peace now through obedience, worship, and trust—even as we wait for its full realization in Christ.
Peace confronts brokenness at the root—requiring more than proximity or niceness, but the transformative work of Jesus.
