Jon Huckins is the Co-Founding Director of The Global Immersion Project, a peacemaking training organization that helps individuals and communities move towards conflict and become everyday peacemakers. He is the co-author of Mending the Divides: Creative Love in a Conflicted World and Thin Places: Six Postures for Creating and Practicing Missional Community, and writes for numerous publications including USAToday, Red Letter Christians, Sojourners, and Relevant. Jon lives in San Diego with his wife and four children where he pastors an intentional faith community. In this episode of RePlacing Church he joins me to talk about:

The need for developing a holistic view of peace

Peacemaking in the spheres of interpersonal relationships, local injustice and international conflict

How our theology should fuel rather than restrict our pursuit of peacemaking and renewal

Stories of confronting violence with a posture of non-violence

Why we need wisdom to know when to leverage our privilege for others, and when to lay down our privilege for others
