As we wrap up this month’s theme on peace, Rohan Bell turns to James 1 to show how deeply practical faith reshapes our inner world. Peace doesn’t come from fixing every problem—it comes from working the Word, reshaping our responses, and redirecting our focus toward God and others.

✨ Key Themes in This Episode

📖 James as the most practical “how-to” book of the New Testament

🕊️ Why peace changes our attitude, not always our circumstances

🧠 “Working the Word” so the Word works in us
