In this episode of God’s Promises, we explore what Jesus really meant when He said:

“In this world you will have trouble. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33)


If nearly one in five adults experience anxiety each year, what does it mean for believers to live in peace? Is peace the absence of trouble? Is it emotional calm? Or is it something deeper?

In this conversation, we unpack:

  • What Jesus meant by “these things” in John 16:33
  • The difference between peace with God (Romans 5:1) and the peace of God (Philippians 4:6–7)
  • Why peace doesn’t remove storms but anchors us in them
  • How Isaiah’s “perfect peace” (Isaiah 26:3) was written during national instability
  • Why Christ’s presence — not our control — is the foundation of lasting peace
