This Advent week of peace we hear from Diana Oestreich. Soldier turned peacemaker, Diana Oestreich, lives the story of peace that was forged on the battlefields of Iraq. She has dedicated her life to waging peace as an activist, veteran, sexual assault nurse, neighbor, and mother.

Her recent book, Waging Peace: One Soldier’s Story of Putting Love First (Broadleaf, 2020), reveals how Jesus’ revolutionary teaching of enemy-love is changing the world. Check out her conversation with Christine as we lean into our vocation as peacemakers.
