Advent: Peace

from Culture Matters · host Culture Matters

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. Merry Christmas. We will see you in the new year. In This Episode 01:00 — Life Lately with Elizabeth 02:00 — Starting the Discussion: What Is Peace? 03:55 — Peace in a Broken World 04:42 — Ty’s Reflection on Isaiah & Peace 07:00 — Relational Tension & True Peace 09:00 — Peace Now vs. Peace Then 12:00 — Peace Beyond “Be Nice” 14:00 — The Reality of Brokenness 18:00 — How to Cultivate Peace Today 22:00 — Final Reflections 28:00 — Close & Christmas Blessing 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. Guest Resources Liz's new Podcast: Shalomies Follow Us!
