Peacemakers

Jan 22, 2021

They riff on Wyoming Whiskey and a college guitar story before digging into how to make peace at home through games and family habits. They contrast mere de-escalation with true peacemaking, explore how attachments and tribalism steal peace, and offer practical practices like prayer, humility, and self-mastery to cultivate and share inner calm.

ANECDOTE

Esteban TV Guitar Purchase Gone Wrong

Adam and David bought matching Esteban guitars on TV after a QVC-like pitch that included a 12-DVD lesson bonus and an amp, paying $50/month.
Adam's guitar played well; David's had terrible action and an amp that died after weeks, leaving a nice-looking but unusable instrument.

ADVICE

Peacemaking Is Reconciliation Not De escalation

Peace requires truth and reconciliation, not mere de-escalation; true peace happens when the wronged side recognizes error and apologizes.
David contrasts calming tactics with peacemaking that seeks mutual recognition of truth to resolve feuds rather than bury them.

ANECDOTE

Prayer For A Sick Person Revealed Hidden Pride

David prayed daily for a friend's seriously ill wife but felt offended when the husband didn't reply to his check-in text, exposing his selfishness.
That moment became a grace: he recognized pride, resumed prayer, and regained peace.
