Listen Later

Be the Bridge Board Member, Dr. Will Gravely hosts this conversation with second-generation Latina pastor, activist, author, leading voice on the intersection of faith and justice, and executive director of Chasing Justice Sandra Van Opstal. They explore the concept of peace, particularly in the context of Advent. They discuss the biblical understanding of peace as shalom, which encompasses wholeness, well-being, and communal flourishing.


Sandra emphasizes the importance of justice as a response to the absence of peace and the role of individuals in making peace within their communities. Sandra shares her experiences in the West Bank, empowering us to truly walk in shalom. They explore the theological barriers that prevent Christians in the west from fully loving their neighbors and talk about importance of understanding suffering in a global context. They connect these themes to the season of Advent, highlighting justice as a central aspect of the gospel message. Don't miss this powerful episode of the Be the Bridge Podcast!
