Episode Synopsis

We often crave peace, don't we? Smooth relationships, comfortable coexistence. As followers of Jesus, love and unity are certainly ideals we strive for. But have you ever wrestled with the fact that Jesus himself declared, in Matthew 10:34, "Do not assume that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword"? That's a jarring statement. A sword? What kind of peace is this?And what about in Ezekiel 33, where a watchman is appointed. His job isn't to keep everyone feeling good or to avoid ruffling feathers. No, his duty is to sound the alarm when danger approaches, even if that alarm shatters the current silence, even if it causes fear and disruption. His silence, in the face of threat, carries a heavy consequence.In this video, we're going to unpack this tension between our desire for harmony and the often-uncomfortable necessity of truth. Are you prioritizing a superficial peace over the vital, sometimes disruptive, truth of God? Are you being a faithful watchman, even when the message isn't popular?
