In this episode, Fawn Ellerbrook is joined by Tabitha Caplinger & Chris Rowton to explore Matthew 5:9, diving deep into what it truly means to be peacemakers in a world filled with division and conflict. The Hebrew word 'shalom' reveals that biblical peace isn't simply the absence of conflict—it's about wholeness, oneness, and restoration even in the midst of turmoil.

This episode challenges us to examine our motives: are we speaking to be right, or are we speaking for the sake of heaven?
