How to Become a Christian Peacemaker - Mark DeYmaz

Many believers confuse peacemaking with either avoiding conflict or winning arguments. Mark DeYmaz, pastor, author, and longtime advocate for multiethnic ministry, is on Christianity Without Compromise with host Jake Doberenz to discuss how the Prayer of St. Francis offers a practical roadmap for becoming genuine peacemakers. Mark explains why following Jesus means removing “peace-disturbing factors” from people’s lives, why today's culture has lost the ability to think with nuance, and how Christians can respond to polarization with wisdom, humility, and courageous love. Rather than reacting to every controversy, he argues that spiritual formation shapes believers to become people who embody the Gospel through both faithful words and faithful actions.Resources Mentioned:Make Me an Instrument of Your Peace: Becoming More Like Jesus Through the Prayer of St. Francis by Mark DeYmaz (affiliate)“7 Guiding Principles for Advancing Peace” by Mark DeYmazGuest Bio:Mark DeYmaz is a pastor, author, speaker, and longtime leader in the multiethnic church movement.
