What would you do if faced with the ultimate decision to use violence in self-defense or to protect a loved one? This week on Reflections with Ryan Braley, we explore the unsettling moral terrain of violence and pacifism through a personal story involving my father-in-law. As we navigate the tough questions posed by my seminary friend Sam, we wrestle with the tension between our instincts to defend and Jesus' teachings on nonviolence and the kingdom of God.
We'll dig into historical and biblical examples—from Peter's sword-wielding moment in the garden to the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki—to examine whether violence ever truly resolves conflict. Is pacifism a viable stance in today's chaotic world? Does defending the innocent sometimes necessitate breaking the peace? Join us for a compelling and challenging dialogue that aims to shed light on these age-old ethical dilemmas and offers insights on how faith might guide our responses.
