🎙️ COURAGEOUS LEADERSHIP WITH VIRGINIA PRODAN #PODCST

PEACEMAKER OR PEACEKEEPER?

What is the difference between a peacekeeper and a peacemaker?

It sounds like a simple question—but when conflict becomes personal, the answer can challenge us deeply.

A peacekeeper may seek to avoid conflict, maintain the appearance of harmony, or keep everyone comfortable.

A peacemaker is willing to step into difficult places, confront what is broken, pursue truth, extend forgiveness, and work toward genuine reconciliation.

And sometimes, peacemaking is uncomfortable.

In this episode of Courageous Leadership with VIRGINIA PRODAN, we explore what it really means to choose peace—not simply to keep the peace.

That question connects deeply with the story behind my memoir, Saving My Assassin.

My story is about far more than legal resistance to a violent regime. It is also about what happens when we choose courage, forgiveness, faith, and a radically different response to those who seek to harm us.

So I want to ask you a personal question:

Think about a conflict in your life right now.
