Costly Peace

🎧 Episode Title: Costly PeaceScripture: 2 Corinthians 5:16–21; Matthew 5:9Featuring the witness of Felix ManzIn this sermon titled Costly Peace, we return from retreat refreshed by the Spirit and re-enter a world aching with injustice. Drawing from Paul’s call to the ministry of reconciliation, the teachings of Jesus, and the radical witness of Anabaptist martyr Felix Manz, this episode challenges us to reject cheap peace—the kind that ignores suffering—and instead embrace the hard, holy work of liberation.What does it mean to be an ambassador for Christ in a time of fear, division, and systemic harm? How can we embody a reconciliation that tells the truth, confronts oppression, and centers those most marginalized? In this reflection, we are reminded that peace is not passive—it is revolutionary.Join us as we explore the sacred tension between healing and justice, faith and action, tradition and transformation. Costly Peace is a call to discipleship that dares to disrupt.
