Peter Episode 6 - A Good Life Leads to Evangelistic Opportunities

March 3, 2021 • Andy Davis

In this sixth episode of the Peter Podcast Series, Andy and Wes discuss 1 Peter 3:8-17. This passage seems to be unified around the theme of Christians who are in a persecuting circumstance continually doing good, living high quality lives (including in fellowship with each other), keeping a clear conscience, and living openly in joyful hope so that unbelievers will ask us to give a reason for the radical difference they see in the way we live. Peter seeks to shut Christians off from bitter vengeance because only good can overcome evil.

Peter Episode 5 - Wives and Husbands

February 24, 2021 • Andy Davis

In this 5th episode of the Peter Podcast series, Andy and Wes talk about 1 Peter 3:1-7. Peter urges Christian wives to demonstrate a Godly submission to their husbands, regardless of whether the husband is a believer, for this may be the very means with which God brings them to faith in Christ. Likewise, Peter instructs the husbands to honor their wives and understand them, or else God will turn a deaf ear to their prayers.

Peter Episode 4 - Submission to Authority

February 17, 2021 • Andy Davis

In this 4th episode of the Peter Podcast series, Andy and Wes talk about 1 Peter 2:13-25. Peter urges Christians to submit to God-ordained authorities, even if it results in unjust suffering. The highest authority is God, but God instituted all authorities and God’s Kingdom advances when Christians refuse to retaliate but rather humbly submit and suffer. Peter uses Christ as a perfect example of submission, for He entrusted Himself to the just Judge. In the same way, suffering Christians should commit themselves to the “Shepherd and overseer” of their souls.
