In a world filled with anxiety, doubt, and cultural pressure, how can Christians experience—and defend—the true peace of God?
In this episode, New Testament scholar Jeremiah Johnston joins us to discuss his new project, the Peace of God Bible, and why recovering a biblical understanding of shalom is critical for today's students and young believers.
We explore how modern culture has reshaped the idea of peace into something shallow and temporary—and how Scripture offers something far deeper, more enduring, and transformative. Jeremiah shares insights from his work in apologetics and cultural engagement, highlighting the growing mental health crisis among students and the urgent need for a robust, biblical worldview.
You'll learn:
-
What makes the Peace of God Bible unique from traditional study Bibles
-
Why shalom is more than emotional calm—it's a holistic vision of flourishing
-
The cultural and worldview challenges undermining true peace today
-
How students can defend a biblical understanding of peace in conversations and apologetics
-
Key Scriptures that anchor a deeper, richer understanding of God's peace
-
How the Resurrection of Jesus—and even the Shroud of Turin—points to ultimate peace and hope
Jeremiah also shares powerful stories of young Christians whose lives and witness were transformed by embracing Christ's peace.
Whether you're a student, parent, educator, or ministry leader, this conversation will equip you to think biblically, live confidently, and share the truth that changes everything.
