The What and Why of Losing Peace: Rejecting the Lie

Peace is one of the most precious gifts God offers—but it’s also one of the first things we lose when lies take root in our hearts. Whether it’s a moment of conflict, a painful memory, or a subtle offense, the loss of peace often signals that a lie has gained influence. The lie might say, “I’m not safe,” “I’m not valued,” or “I’m alone.” And once believed, it begins to shape how we interpret everything around us.

At Rock House Center, we’ve seen how losing peace is rarely about the situation—it’s about the heart’s response. When someone believes a lie, even a small event can trigger a disproportionate emotional reaction. That’s why understanding the “what” and “why” behind losing peace is essential to healing.

In the podcast “The What and Why of Losing Your Peace,” John shares a story about a moment at a stoplight where a seemingly minor offense triggered a deep emotional response. The situation revealed a deeper lie—one that had been quietly influencing his reactions for years. Another example from a church small group and a funeral shows how unresolved heart-level beliefs can steal peace in unexpected ways.

God’s Truth is the path back to peace. Scripture says, “Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts” (Colossians 3:15). That peace isn’t circumstantial—it’s spiritual. It comes when we identify the lie, reject it, and replace it with Truth.

If you’ve found yourself losing peace over things that “shouldn’t” bother you, it’s time to look deeper. What lie is fueling the reaction? What Truth does God want to speak into that place?
