Host: Dr. Cynthia “Cindy” Libert, M.D.

Run Time: 5:09

In today’s episode, Dr. Cindy invites you into a gentle, heartfelt conversation about one of the most beautiful and misunderstood words in Scripture: shalom. Far more than simply “peace,” shalom speaks of wholeness—of restoration, healing, and alignment with God's design for your life.

You’ll explore what shalom means biblically, how it touches every part of your being, and how Jesus, the Prince of Peace, offers us more than calm—He offers us completion.

💬 In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

• The deeper biblical meaning of shalom
• How shalom touches our physical, emotional, relational, and spiritual health
• Why peace is not something we earn—but something we receive
• The healing power of returning to right relationship with God, others, and yourself
• Where to begin when you're feeling weary, scattered, or broken

📖 Scripture References:

• Isaiah 9:6 (ESV) “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given... and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”

• Ephesians 2:14 (ESV) “For he himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility.”

• John 14:27 (ESV) “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.”

• Proverbs 4:20–22 (NIV) “My son, pay attention to what I say; turn your ear to my words. Do not let them out of your sight, keep them within your heart; for they are life to those who find them and health to one’s whole body.”

🕊️ Key Takeaway:

Shalom isn’t something we hustle to achieve—it’s something we receive through relationship with Jesus, the Sar Shalom. He is our wholeness. He is our restorer. He meets us in our frayed places and gently says, “Let Me take care of that.”
