In our second episode, we sit with Mary’s story in Luke 1:26–38 and explore what peace looks like when life feels anything but certain. We discuss how we find peace in moments of uncertainty and surrender. Our Guest, Rev. Angelo Mante of Alive Community Outreach, joins us with real-world insight from his work with Peacemakers. Reminding us that peace isn’t the absence of trouble, but the presence of trust in God’s plan.

Across four weeks, pastors from our Northeast Indiana United Methodist churches dig into the longing, the tension, and the hope wrapped up in this ancient promise. From Isaiah’s prophecy to Mary’s courage, from global conflict to inner calm, we explore what peace looks like in real life—not as naïve optimism, but as something grounded, gritty, and worth pursuing.

Each episode features guest voices from community leaders, peacemakers, and mental-health professionals who are helping stitch peace into the world right now.

We also pull back the curtain on the Tapestry itself—how a group of pastors started dreaming about what ministry could look like if churches worked with each other instead of beside each other.

If you’ve ever looked at the world and wondered, “Where is the peace I was promised?” this series sits in that question with you—and keeps searching for the missing piece.
