This week on Made For Mondays, we dig into a listener's “What the WHAT?!” about how “salty” went from a biblical positive to a cultural negative. We also talk through highlights from the latest Bible reading plan, what’s helping us find peace in a noisy world, and how the idea of shalom can reshape everything. Plus, we unpack Sunday’s message on why happiness might not be the goal—and how the peace of Christ might be what we’re actually missing.
