Summary

One of the most frequent questions we're asked is how we maintain a spirit of peace with a family of five and all we have going on. "How do you carry such calm in your interactions with each other?" wrote one long-time listener. To begin, peace doesn't come without a fight. In a world of instant gratification, we too easily settle for moments of peace; but anything that doesn't last is counterfeit. In this episode, we talk about practical ways you can war for and cultivate peace in your home. We talk about:

Why our bodies feel safer in chaos than peace
Prayer as a weapon for the war for peace
Why it's important to take dominion over what God has given you
Keeping short accounts of sin in our lives
Playing the long game in the day-to-day overwhelm
