In a world filled with anxiety, pain and uncertainty, many of us are seeking peace. We ask questions like: Why is this happening to me? Is there meaning in my pain? How can I move on from a horrible experience? Why are my successes empty? Is there a way to live with hope?
We long for practical answers and spiritual nourishment. We long to see the Kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven where we discover more love, more joy and more meaning in our lives. Some of us have given up on Christianity and other religious communities because they seem to be the cause of the problems rather than the solution. Yet, peace is a hallmark of life in God's Kingdom.
On The Door to Peace Podcast you’ll experience raw conversations that highlight how finding peace is possible in the midst of tragedy, bad decisions, addiction, and a myriad of circumstances. Our hope is that just as God infiltrated their lives in dramatic and beautiful ways, you can also experience peace in your life. Our core value is that Peace begins by opening the door to God’s work in your life. Jesus said it this way: Here I am. I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and be with them.
If you want to dive right in instead of exploring The Door to Peace generally, we recommend the following podcasts to get you started:
Christ's Kingdom is the source of hope for all humanity. In his Kingdom we find life exactly as we were created to live. In this imperfect world in which we live, we can sometimes be so
overwhelmed by those imperfections that we lose sight of the Kingdom and hope that the problems of this life can be overcome.
According to the CDC, an average of 135 Americans take their own lives each day. This hit close to home for Greg Horn, who lost three friends in a relatively short amount of time to suicide. This caused a "holy discontent" in his heart. Through his research, he discovered that the main reason someone ends their life by suicide is because they have lost hope. Greg decided to take action and began a ministry in 2017 called HOPE is Here. Through the daily radio ministry and podcast (over 100,000 downloads), Greg shares scripture, inspiring stories, and highlights people and organizations striving to offer hope. The mission, every day, is to stop what the enemy sets out to do... "steal and kill and destroy" (John 10:10).
The French philosopher and mathematician Blaise Pascal said, "There is a God-sized hole in the heart of every person which cannot be filled by any created thing, but only by God the Creator made known through Jesus Christ." With HOPE is Here, Greg wants people to know that there is always hope because of Jesus.
