Peace that actually holds doesn’t come from a quiet room or a perfect week—it comes from a Person. We dig into a gritty, hopeful vision of peace that stands guard over your heart and mind, even when life gets loud. Starting with Philippians 4:4–7, we highlight a detail many miss: bringing requests to God with thanksgiving. That posture shifts attention from what’s missing to what God’s already done, and it unlocks a peace that protects rather than evaporates.

From there, we tackle the difference between cultural calm and Christ’s promise. Raises, status, and escapes offer brief relief, but Jesus in John 14 and John 16 gives a peace that outlasts tribulation because He has overcome the world. We explore shalom—not just the absence of conflict, but the presence of wholeness, harmony, and God’s favour. That kind of peace can live in a house full of kids, a messy calendar, or a hard season, because it flows from relationship, not environment.

We also get practical. Colossians 3:15 calls peace to rule in our hearts, shaping how we respond before anger or pride take over. Romans 12:18 reminds us to do our part to live at peace with everyone, while Proverbs 14:30 exposes how envy drains life and gratitude restores it. You’ll hear real stories about prayer with thanksgiving, worship breaking anxiety’s grip, and simple rhythms for trust: breath prayers, scripture first, and choosing to respond rather than react. We speak candidly about peace with God through faith (Romans 5) as the foundation for every other kind of peace, and why neutrality is a myth when eternity is at stake.

You’ll walk away with field-tested practices: be the calm centre at home, fight for peace in your marriage instead of trying to win, and stay grounded under pressure at work. Ask yourself this week: where am I choosing control over peace, and what would it look like to hand that to Jesus?
