Build Peace on Purpose | Why Being Right Isn't Always the Goal

Peace usually doesn't happen accidentally.Somebody has to choose not to feed the tension.Somebody has to choose not to sharpen the comeback.Somebody has to choose to build people up instead of simply proving they're right.Today's Word of Life comes from Romans 14:19, where Paul reminds believers to pursue harmony and build one another up. Together we'll explore what biblical peacemaking really looks like - not avoiding truth, but allowing love to shape the way we handle disagreement.Along the way, you'll hear wisdom from longtime JFM family member Mary Ellis, a timely Drive Time Devotion from Pastor Larry Walls, and several highlights from my conversation with rising Christian artist MK Green, whose heart for Jesus shines through every part of her story.If today's episode encourages you, I'd love to invite you to:• Join me live weekday mornings from 6:00–10:00 AM Central on 88.5 JFM by listening online at 885jfm.com• Follow or subscribe to the Lifeline Morning Show Podcast so you never miss a new episode.• Share this episode with someone who could use a little encouragement today.🎧 Lifeline Podcast Family Edition (Expanded Version)Episode: https://youtu.be/vSdMtekCLksPlaylist:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLX5CERbCPq2_QPwU-2iG5FnKwAYZMfcEo🙌 Special ThanksA heartfelt thank you to everyone who helped make today's show possible:• MK Green• Sophie Diener (TikTok)• MarkDoesLife (TikTok)• Erika with a K (TikTok)• Breanne Burke (TikTok)• Jimmy Lee Eudy• Mary Ellis💬 Question of the DayWhen have you seen someone choose peace instead of winning the argument?🟢 In my family🔵 At church🟡 At work🟣 I've experienced it personally🎵 Spotify Music Playlisthttps://open.spotify.com/playlist/4guLCzUaWI3RBLABgScC6q?si=GSGnxW41ThCnyLy4bok5aQ🎶 Today's Music• This Little Light — MK Greenhttps://youtu.be/LVx35SMgTco?si=0dG-O_TX1TIK5Pec• How Great Is Our God — Chris Tomlinhttps://youtu.be/XV4nOVmWW2A?si=aRUwoAbfjJlbcqxo• Miracles — Colton Dixonhttps://youtu.be/mlz0nj1qPkk?si=CoGl4C1TB1imtOC2• Still — Crowderhttps://youtu.be/H3rcQA8mLj0?si=Pe3DOGmfRQswFBPc• Mirror Like The Moon — MK Greenhttps://youtu.be/-XaFU-VNpQQ?si=HaS0M8AIM6NGTpkj• Rescue Me — We The Kingdomhttps://youtu.be/u6yxJ4fGP2s?si=_EeqG1bWgI0ODV3L• All I Can Say — MK Greenhttps://youtu.be/E0v2P6Emt2c?si=bvHb5ZXrxizH6mzN• Worship Through It — Tasha Laytonhttps://youtu.be/cBw1ZmBi7ZI?si=LT6xGDODv7vEtrNQ• Stand Strong — The Band JARENhttps://youtu.be/fVpFqqERQ1o?si=U2o_LWTJhQtouRWi• If I Got Jesus — Ben Fullerhttps://youtu.be/gc2sNY5HMV8?si=wzpCQWjtqV8JsHfq• That's Who I Praise — Brandon Lakehttps://youtu.be/hefLdjeclSs?si=AOc50QJdM45r-2hM• God I'm Just Grateful — Chandler Moorehttps://youtu.be/-AO1LBEa92Q?si=JNc5wiR6tMovQXwG
