In this final part of our four-episode series on 1 Peter’s greeting, Chris Risley explores how our identity and future hope shape the way we endure suffering. Looking at verses 6–9, she unpacks Peter’s imagery of faith refined like gold, the purpose behind trials, and how God uses hardship to deepen our dependence, empathy, and joy. This episode invites us to seek God’s perspective in painful seasons, walk through suffering with others, and remember the salvation waiting for us. Speaker: Chris Risley
