All to often I hear new believers asking what living the Christian life looks like.  For me (Shane) there is no better book to look at than 1 Peter.  This book gives you the technical (the why) and the tactical (How to best use what you have).  My favorite verse in the entire book highlights the important emphasis this book has for the believer.

12      Through Silvanus, our faithful brother (for so I regard him), I have written to you briefly, exhorting and testifying that this is the true grace of God. Stand firm in it!
(1 Peter 5:12)

From that one verse comes one question with a follow up.  From there it takes us right back to the beginning of the book to lay the ground work the Christian to walk in victory, the why and regardless of the circumstances the LORD has allowed in your life.


1      Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ,
    To those who reside as aliens, scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, who are chosen
2      according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, by the sanctifying work of the Spirit, to obey Jesus Christ and be sprinkled with His blood: May grace and peace be yours in the fullest measure.
3      Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
4      to obtain an inheritance which is imperishable and undefiled and will not fade away, reserved in heaven for you,
5      who are protected by the power of God through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
(1 Peter 1:1–5)


In this episode we will do a brief introduction of 1 Peter and then focus on the above verses.  Join with us as we begin this look at the book of 1 Peter.
