Prophetic Peace

A message from the series “The Will to Dream: Persistent courage to imagine, resist, and rebuild a better world.”, given by Pastor Scott Austin on Dec. 7, 2025.

When we are caught in the tension between a holiday season that calls us to peace and a world that seems to be in ever-increasing discord, we may need to reset our understanding of what peace is, and what it isn't. We are reminded, once again, of Martin Luther King Jr.’s words: “True peace is not merely the absence of tension; it is the presence of justice.”
