Episode 9

In this episode, we’re talking with president of Mennonite World Conference, J. Nelson Kraybill. Join us for a conversation about war and peace. What does peace look like in situations like the invasion of Russia in Ukraine? How can we live out the love of Jesus in the midst of conflict? What role does the church have in making peace?
