Christians are struggling with how to live like Jesus in a violent world. Influencers, politicians, and political pundits are telling us that we need to fight to take America back. When, in the midst of an ever-increasing culture war, we hear that Jesus advocates for radical change not through waging war but by waging peace, many of us roll our eyes and think, “Pie in the sky thinking.”
Easter week is the culmination of the earthly ministry of Jesus. Our guest, Jason Porterfield, has written a book about Holy Week that will shake us out of our lethargy about hoping for peace. He is the author of a fantastic book, titled, Fight Like Jesus: How Jesus Waged Peace throughout Holy Week (Herald Press, 2022), an award-winning book that equips readers with practical peacemaking skills as it examines how Jesus waged peace on each day of Holy Week.
