This Good Word, Episode 34: Peacemakers with Lynne Hybels (ShowNotes)

I was euphoric after my conversation with Lynne. I couldn't sit still. I couldn't stop thinking about it. We talked about courage, peacemaking, limits, and facing our mountains. We talked about asking God to show us what is "ours to do." We talked about her recent climb of Mount Kilimanjaro, and why she did it. We talked about why she's passionate about entering war zones, and what she feels the invitation for the 21st century church is.There are so many great invitations in this one. Lynne and I have known each other for about three years, but this is the first time we've sat down face-to-face to talk, and I am thrilled to share it with you. I felt like we could have gone on for hours.Enjoy!
