Dr. Tabatha Barber explains that true peace isn't the absence of storms but confidence and trust that steadies you through chaos. She points to Jesus sleeping calmly on a boat during a storm as the model for believers, arguing peace is an inner steadiness, not external calm.
Let's talk about peace, because Jesus never promised a life without storms. And I wanna read something, and then I'm gonna have you talk about it. So true peace isn't the absence of stress, it's the presence of confidence, hope, and trust that steadies the conductor even when the music around you is chaos.
I love envisioning Jesus sleeping on the boat with his pillow. Versions say he's got his cushion. Like, he was not freaking out. He was at peace in the storm, and that is how he's calling us to live. And unfortunately, we're panicking.
