Advent with Friends: Rethinking Heavenly Peace (with Andy Crouch)

What is Advent peace? Does it mean inner peace, world peace, or maybe peace with God and others?
In this second episode of the Good Faith Advent series, Curtis Chang is joined by Good Faith contributor Andy Crouch to explore the true meaning of the peace promised by the coming of Jesus. Together, they challenge common assumptions about peace, using the historical context of Jesus' birth to scrutinize familiar Christmas messages. Curtis and Andy invite listeners to consider an Advent peace that acknowledges suffering and speaks into the hard realities of the holiday season-and everyday life.
