Advent with Friends: Rethinking Heavenly Peace
With Andy Crouch
What is Advent peace? Does it mean inner peace, world peace, or maybe peace with God and others?
In this second episode of the Good Faith Advent series, Curtis Chang is joined by Good Faith contributor and author Andy Crouch to explore the true meaning of the peace promised by Jesus’ coming. Together, they challenge common assumptions about peace, examining familiar Christmas messages through the lens of Scripture and the historical context of Christ’s birth. By reexamining some familiar hymns and traditions, Curtis and Andy invite listeners to consider an Advent peace that acknowledges suffering and speaks into the hard realities of the holiday season—and everyday life.
