Episode Description
In this episode, Erica and Courtney dive into the hard truth about peace: it isn’t something easily handed over; it’s something fought for. We often think of peace as a natural state, but real peace requires struggle, sacrifice, and sometimes convincing the other side to see things your way. The problem? Peace is subjective. What feels like peace to one person may feel like loss to another. Together, we break down how peace plays out in three forms: the battles within ourselves, the conflicts with those closest to us, and the preparation required during times of calm—because the storm will return, whether you’re ready or not.
In this episode, we discuss the following points about peace and how it is obtained, and how silence is not the answer.
- The Battle for Peace is Internal and External
- Fighting for Peace Even When No One Sees It
- Prepare for War In Times of Peace
We dive into historical moments and personal stories that reveal the peace we’ve fought for but failed to recognize and the peace hard-won in the past that we’ve allowed to fade from memory.
