War, Witness, and the Way of Jesus

War is loud. Opinions are louder. But what does it actually look like to follow Jesus in a world shaped by both?In this episode, we step away from hot takes and ask a deeper question: How should a Christian think about and respond to war? From the battles of the Old Testament to the enemy-love of Jesus, we explore how the story of Scripture reframes power, violence, and what it means to be faithful in a broken world.We wrestle with the tension between pacifism and Just War Theory, examine the dangers of calling modern conflicts “holy,” and reflect on how easily faith can get entangled with nationalism. Along the way, we consider what it means to live as people of peace while acknowledging the reality of war.This isn’t a conversation with easy answers. It’s an invitation to deeper formation.Because if our allegiance is ultimately to Jesus, then even our instincts about conflict, justice, and enemies must be reshaped by Him.
