Scope Conditions PodcastHow the UN Keeps Peace Among Neighbors, with William G. NomikosToday on Scope Conditions, what’s the secret to successful peacekeeping?We often think of civil conflict as being driven by organized, armed groups – like rebel militias and state armies. But as our guest today reminds us, a leading cause of conflict around the world is communal violence – fights that break out between civilians over land, cattle, water, and other scarce resources.

We need to be met where we are, to go where God would have us be.

Jesus, after all, in the face of his people's despair, began his ministry at a wedding.
