Topic: God’s Peace
Guest: Terry Smith is the pastor of The Life Christian Church near New York City
We all face moments of fear and anxiety in our lives—times when uncertainty and worry weigh heavily on our hearts.
Terry Smith is the pastor of The Life Christian Church near New York City and author of multiple books. In his profound exploration of biblical peace, he dives deep into the concept of “shalom,” a Hebrew word that encompasses a far richer meaning than our typical understanding of peace today.
Shalom is not merely the absence of conflict or a fleeting sense of calm. Instead, it represents the fullness of life as God intended it. Terry defines this peace as “life the way God intended it,” emphasizing that true peace is found in aligning ourselves with God’s purpose and presence. You will experience a great depth of God’s peace as you listen to today’s show.

One of the greatest things we can live for is the glory of God. Have you ever heard anyone talk about this before?
My guest this week is Louie Giglio, Pastor of Passion City Church in Atlanta, Georgia, and the founder of Passion Conferences. His mantra for decades has been from Isaiah 26:8, "Yes, Lord, walking in the way of your laws, we wait for you; your name and renown are the desire of our hearts." He is calling for a 268 generation. There is something about this heart that yearns for the glory of God. I believe it was we were all created for -- to know God and to make Him known. To live for His glory, and to enjoy Him forever. All other pursuits miss their ultimate purpose without this. I still remember hearing about one of the old Passion gatherings in a field twenty years ago when I was a student in my college dorm. It impacted me profoundly back then, and Louie shares some of those personal stories about that meeting. So buckle up, because God showed up in our conversation today!

Have you ever had questions or doubts about your faith?
Lee Strobel was once an award winning journalist for The Chicago Tribune, and an atheist when his wife came home one day to tell him she had become a Christian. Over the next several years he began a journey of trying to disprove Christianity using his investigative journalism skills. But ultimately he came to the consolation that there was an avalanche of evidence supporting the claims of Christianity and it would take more faith to maintain his atheism than to become a Christian. His powerful story will encourage your faith, and probably answer some of your questions about your faith, if you've had any.

Are you living out your God-given calling?
Too often we buy into the lie that our worth is our work, our value is our vocation, and our calling is our career.

Who was your favorite athlete growing up?
For me it was Michael Jordan, Ken Griffey Jr. and Darryl Strawberry. I remember Darryl Strawberry could throw the ball from the fences all the way to the catcher, there was no one like him. What I didn't know was the amazing way God worked in Darryl Strawberry's story. From enduring an abusive father as a young child, to catapulted fame, and success as a Major League Baseball player, Darryl soon began to pursue the wrong things and spent much of his life addicted to drugs and pleasure. But even while he was chasing the wrong things, God was chasing him the whole time, and now not only is Darryl sober, but he is a preacher of the gospel of Jesus Christ! We talk about a lot of his journey, and share so much encouragement and hope that you will walk away changed forever.

In the middle of that journey, she wondered if she had ruined her chances at her dream. If you've ever found yourself in a similar position, you will be super inspired by her story today.

My friend Jason Romano was living his dream job at ESPN, when his older brother led him to faith in Christ. As he began to grow in his faith and passion for God, he wondered if he should be in ministry instead. For a period of time, he realized God could use him right where he was. Later, however, God did direct him into an amazing ministry called Sports Spectrum where he interviews professional athletes about their faith. This is an amazing case study of finding and following God's call on your life.

Do you have someone in your life you like to spend time with to grow in wisdom?
For me, one of those amazing people is Robby Gallaty. Robby is the lead pastor at Long Hollow Baptist Church. Growing up, Robby battled a drug addiction that ravaged his life. A $180 a day heroin and cocaine addiction forced him to steal $15,000 from his parents. After living without gas, electricity, and water for months, losing 8 of his friends to drug related deaths, watching 6 friends arrested, and completing two rehab treatments, Robby remembered the gospel that was shared with him by a friend in college and was radically saved on November 12, 2002. Eight months later, David Platt, a seminary student and church member at the time, asked Robby to meet weekly for accountability, prayer, and bible study. For the next 2 years, David installed a passion for missions, expository preaching, and disciple-making in his life. You will be so inspired by Robby's story, and wisdom today.
