In the last of our Advent conversations, Adam Hawkins welcomes back Elizabeth Woodson and Tymarcus to unpack the biblical concept of peace (shalom)—especially what it means in a season that’s often chaotic, overwhelming, and culturally mischaracterized. Merry Christmas. We will see you in the new year.

Key Takeaways

• True peace (shalom) is not just absence of conflict—but wholeness and restoration found only through life with God.
• We can experience real peace now through obedience, worship, and trust—even as we wait for its full realization in Christ.
• Peace confronts brokenness at the root—requiring more than proximity or niceness, but the transformative work of Jesus.
