In a world with ever increasing cases of anxiety, depression, and other mental and emotional instabilities, feeling peace and making peace has never been more important! In this episode we dive deep into what it means to make peace (or be a peacemaker) vs to keep the peace in our relationships with others, with God, and with ourselves.

Matt 5:9

9 Blessed are the ^apeacemakers: for they shall be called the ^bchildren of God.

Romans 8:6

6 For to be ^acarnally minded is ^bdeath; but to be ^cspirituallyminded is life and ^dpeace.

Alma 32:13-16 13

13 And now, because ye are compelled to be humble blessed are ye; for a man sometimes, if he is compelled to be humble, seeketh ^arepentance; and now surely, whosoever repenteth shall find mercy; and he that findeth mercy and ^bendureth to the end the same shall be saved.

14 And now, as I said unto you, that because ye were compelled to be ^ahumble ye were blessed, do ye not suppose that they are more blessed who truly humble themselves because of the word?

15 Yea, he that truly humbleth himself, and repenteth of his sins, and endureth to the end, the same shall be blessed—yea, much more blessed than they who are compelled to be humble because of their exceeding poverty.

16 Therefore, blessed are they who ^ahumble themselves without being ^bcompelled to be humble; or rather, in other words, blessed is he that believeth in the word of God, and is baptized without ^cstubbornness of heart, yea, without being brought to know the word, or even compelled to know, before they will believe.
