In our latest episode — “Buddhist Monk vs Biblical Peace — Are We Missing the Truth?” — Angel and I dig into a question few stop to ask: When a Buddhist monk travels “in the name of peace,” is that the same peace promised in the Gospel? We compare what “real peace” looks like according to Christ with what “peace” is often framed as in other faiths. We unpack: - Why Buddhism’s version of “peace” can feel profound — calm, detachment, inner stillness — but may fall short of the lasting, soul-level peace Christ offers. - Where true Biblical peace diverges: hope, grace, identity in Jesus, relationship with God — not just inner quiet. - How faith in Jesus changes the question from “Can I find peace?” to “Have I found the One who brings peace.” ▶️ Watch/listen here: https://youtu.be/_Bihf62mtPM If you’ve ever wondered whether all “peace teachings” lead to the same destination — this one’s for you. 💬 Share your thoughts. What does true peace mean to you?

“Pray like it depends on God, work like it depends on you.” I understand the heart behind it—but I think it subtly misses the biblical posture. Scripture doesn’t call us to divide our lives between dependence in prayer and self-reliance in work. That division is closer to the post-fall way of labor than the gospel way. The Bible points us to something different. I work diligently—not because everything depends on me—but because my work is unto the Lord. And I trust Him with the outcomes, the provision, and the details. I plan. I execute. I show up with excellence. But I don’t carry the weight of being the source. “Commit your works to the LORD, And your thoughts will be established.” — Proverbs 16:3 (NKJV) “A man’s heart plans his way, But the LORD directs his steps.” — Proverbs 16:9 (NKJV) “Unless the LORD builds the house, They labor in vain who build it.” — Psalm 127:1 (NKJV) In business, working like it depends on me produces anxiety, fear, and hustle-driven decision-making. Working from trust in Him produces clarity, obedience, and peace. This doesn’t lead to passivity. It leads to rested diligence! (That will preach!) I don’t build to secure myself. I steward what I’ve been given—and trust God to establish what lasts. Curious how others have wrestled with this tension between faith, work, and rest—especially in business.
