Dr. Charles Davidson

Join us for another inspiring episode of Stories from CLC as we sit down with Dr. Charles Davidson — longtime friend of Christian Life Cathedral, professor of Peace and Conflict Resolution at George Washington University, and founder of Innovations in Peacebuilding (IP).
From his early days at CLC as a young man serving in custodial, youth ministry, and beyond, to a life-changing mission trip to Bolivia that ignited a divine calling, Dr. Davidson shares how God shaped his journey from a “hillbilly from the Ozarks” into a global peacemaker. Hear powerful stories of God’s provision, including the unforgettable testimony of Nyota in the Congo — a former child combatant whose life was transformed by two pregnant goats and has since become a leader blessing her entire village.
Dr. Davidson dives deep into IP’s impactful work equipping local leaders for sustainable peace in war-affected regions, including:

Demobilizing child soldiers in the Democratic Republic of Congo
Communities of Peace radio and conflict resolution initiatives
PeaceTech classrooms in Burundi
The Applied Peace Network training leaders worldwide

He also explores the biblical call to peacemaking, the difference between peacekeeping and true peace-building, and how every follower of Jesus is called to embody the Gospel of Peace in everyday life.
This conversation is filled with wisdom, encouragement, and practical steps for anyone discerning God’s call — whether at home, in the workplace, or on the mission field.
