In this episode of Reading with the Church, we discuss February’s book selection, Peace Like a River by Leif Enger. Pastor Casey, Tucker, and guest Emily Armstrong reflect on the story’s themes, characters, and the questions it raises about justice, loyalty, faith, and the human longing for redemption. 

The conversation explores the powerful role of the novel’s characters—especially the father’s faithfulness, the tension surrounding Davy’s actions, and the unique perspective brought through Swede’s narration. Together, the group wrestles with how fiction can shape virtue, challenge our assumptions, and spark meaningful discussion within the church community.

They also reflect on how reading together as a church helps believers engage books more thoughtfully—learning not only from the text itself, but from the insights and perspectives of fellow readers.

Join us as we continue growing together through shared reading and conversation.
