Hopeful Alternative is the writing of Dr. Jer Swigart, co-founder and executive director of Global Immersion — a peacemaking training organization that forms everyday peacemakers to mend divides.
Rooted in the conviction that peacemaking is not an optional add-on to the Christian faith but its very essence, Hopeful Alternative explores the theology, practices, and stories of peacemaking as a lived way of life. These reflections are an invitation into a deeper, more courageous adventure — one that chooses formation over fear and engagement over avoidance.
This Substack is one of the many ways Global Immersion equips and emboldens people like you to live as everyday peacemakers. Learn more about our leadership cohort, podcast, trainings, and other offerings at globalimmerse.org.
