## Resource

In this episode of the International Commission podcast, Bucky Elliott and Grace Swanson begin with a deep dive into character development, as Grace shares her recent journey of learning to view others through "Jesus goggles", choosing to love even when it’s difficult and surrendering emotional frustrations to God. Bucky expands on this by distinguishing between "peacekeeping" and "peacemaking." How do we move beyond the passive avoidance of conflict to pursue biblical Shalom—an active and often costly commitment to restoration and wholeness? Why does reconciliation sometimes come at the cost of hurt? The hosts round out the episode with a Top 5 Things ranking of their favorite travel essentials. Whether you are a seasoned missionary or preparing for your first trip, this episode provides a profound reminder that we are all called to the ministry of reconciliation, starting with the relationships right in front of us.
