Peace in Practice: Living the Story with Intention and Compassion
Episode description
In the first episode with Michael Zacharia, Michael shared his story of becoming—navigating identity, belonging, and the complexity of a multicultural home shaped by both Palestinian and Jewish Israeli heritage.
Now, we turn toward the present.
Michael opens up about the meaningful work he does today—guiding individuals, organizations, and churches through the challenges of leadership, conflict, and purpose. He shares the path that led him into this space—not a straight line, but a winding road shaped by humility, disruption, and spiritual depth. Throughout the conversation, Michael reminds us that conflict itself isn’t good or bad—it’s how we approach it that matters. Healthy conversations can lead to healing, better outcomes, and restored relationships.
He shares practical, transformative tools for engaging conflict with clarity and compassion—tools we can all apply in our lives, whether we’re leading others or simply navigating everyday relationships. You’ll want to take notes!
