Finding Peace During Advent with Pastor Max Ingram

Episode Overview

  • Reflect on the profound peace from God during Advent.
  • True peace is found in a relationship with Jesus.
  • Present your requests to God to receive peace that surpasses understanding.
  • Recognise and embrace serenity in recovery.
  • Seek God's peace as a guiding path in life.
The peace of God transcends all understanding. It's going to be a peace that doesn't always make sense.
Studio RC's latest episode, led by Pastor Max Ingram, dives into the second week of the Advent series, focusing on the theme of peace. Pastor Max brings a light-hearted and festive atmosphere to the discussion, sporting a cheerful hat and a shirt featuring Jesus and Santa taking a selfie.
This episode invites you to reflect on the profound peace that comes from God, especially as we prepare our hearts for Christmas and the arrival of Jesus, referred to as the Prince of Peace in Isaiah 9:6. Pastor Max emphasises that true peace is found in our relationship with Jesus and transcends the chaos and turmoil of the world around us.
He draws from Philippians 4:6-7 to remind us not to be anxious but to present our requests to God, who offers a peace that surpasses all understanding. The episode encourages you to focus on joyful preparation during this busy season, resisting any joy killers and embracing the peace that Jesus brings. Pastor Max shares personal anecdotes and biblical examples to illustrate how God's peace can protect our hearts and minds, especially for those struggling with addiction or anxiety.
He also highlights the significance of the serenity prayer in recovery, equating serenity with peace. As you journey through Advent, Pastor Max encourages you to cultivate peace in your life by reflecting on Jesus' teachings and seeking out moments when you've felt God's peace. He suggests that sometimes in early recovery, we might mistake peace for boredom, but it's essential to recognise it as serenity.
The episode wraps up with a call to action, urging you to seek God's peace as a guiding path in your life and to share this message of peace with others during this season of preparation.
