In this episode of Peaceable & Kind, Derek Vreeland reflects on the prophetic vision of Isaiah 2:1–5 and what it means for Christians to “play war no more.” Through scripture, personal reflection, and current events, Derek explores the way of Jesus as a call to nonviolence, patience, and peacemaking in a world marked by conflict and division.
Key Takeaways

War is impatience. Fighting often stems from restless, hurried lives that resist waiting on God.

Jesus is the answer. He embodies God’s covenant faithfulness and calls us to love our enemies.

Nonviolence is a habit. Like fighting, it can shape us—this time into the image of Christ.

We can start now. The vision of peace in Isaiah is not only for the future; it begins with us today.
