Having  been brought into a new birth by the powerful Word of God, Peter exhorts his readers to stand firm in that Word which is sure and imperishable. He then goes on to encourage them to crave that life giving Word so that by it , they may grow up to maturity . In this episode. Tawanda is pointing us to that same Word and helping us to see that God is at work in our world through his Word. 

No other God is like our God. Our God is holy, he is different from Allah, Buddha, from Musikavanhu or any other god. And because this holy God has called us to himself, to be his people, we are called to live holy lives. But what does this holiness look like in real life? Tawanda takes us through 1 Peter 1: 13-21, seeking to see what is the nature of this holiness to which Peter is calling his readers to.

In this first  Episode, we look at the reasons for David's faith in the face of trouble as we seek to live lives of faith, not fear in the face of COVID-19. From Psalm 23:4, we see that the main reason for David's confidence is not the elimination of suffering but the sure  presence of the Lord with him in suffering.
