Welcome to Week 4 of our Fruit of the Spirit Bible study series! This week, we’re turning our focus to Peace—a fruit that’s often misunderstood in a chaotic world.

Courtney Montgomery joins us to explore what it truly means to live in the peace of Christ. More than just the absence of conflict, Spirit-filled peace is a deep, abiding rest and trust in God, no matter our circumstances. Together, we talk through the difference between worldly peace and the peace Jesus promises, and how to cultivate it in our hearts, homes, and communities.

Whether you’re walking through anxiety, facing relational tension, or simply longing for more calm in your life, this conversation offers practical wisdom and biblical encouragement to help you remain rooted in God’s peace.

Join us as we learn to let peace rule—in our thoughts, decisions, and everyday walk with Jesus.
