Provoking Peace Podcast
Provoking Peace is where assumptions unravel, stories unfold, and the unexpected becomes the conversation. Hosted by one Muslim woman and one Jewish woman, this podcast challenges stereotypes and invites you into honest, sometimes uncomfortable, but always meaningful dialogue. In a world that often pits us against each other, we choose connection.
Each episode offers a window into what it means to build trust across lines of difference - not by avoiding the hard stuff, but by stepping into it with curiosity and courage. We explore faith, identity, politics, friendship, and everything in between - with humor, heart, and humility. Whether we're interviewing changemakers, unpacking global events, or sharing moments from our own lives, Provoking Peace is your invitation to listen differently, think deeper, and find common ground where you least expect it. Because disrupting assumptions isn't just possible - it's powerful. And peace? Sometimes it starts with a little provocation. Tighten your bra straps – its going to be a bumpy ride!
