In this episode, Elizabeth and Yana do a deep dive into the meaning of shalom–a biblical concept that speaks to God’s desire for wholeness, peace, and flourishing in every part of life. They explore what it looks like to experience and cultivate shalom in a broken world, drawing from Scripture, the life of Jesus, and their own personal stories. Together they discuss how God’s vision of wholeness restores what’s fractured in our lives and communities. 

Key Scriptures:

• Genesis 1:26-28
• Luke 4:18-19
• Ephesians 1:9-10

Questions Covered In This Episode:

1. How did we stumble across a theology of  “shalom”, individually and then together?
