No, that's not the new buffet special at Pizza Ranch.  Peter leans into the spiritual (read: Spiritual) realities of the Christian life, confirming that it is God who has chosen us to be His own people.

And we're back!  After a few short weeks of recording delays, Craig and Troy return to the studio to dig back into 1 Peter.  We have been given such a wonderfully huge and amazing grace, and Peter wants us to recognize how deep that grace is and how deeply it transforms us.

No, not THAT election, we're talking about the one that's really important!  Craig and Troy, having thought they were done with the Catholic Epistles, discover that there are still a few more books in their bibles!  Who knew?

Sins that lead to death, and sins that don't, but all sins are still sins.  Listen to this podcast and that statement may make more sense.  Craig and Troy thought they were finishup up with their series on the Catholic Epistles, but seems like there's still Peter's letters left after all.

Except that we see Him--and see Him plainly--in Christ.  So what does John mean by this phrase?  Can it possibly mean that Jesus isn't truly God?  Or must we instead see this verse in light of the whole of Scripture?

Yes, but how do we know that we believe the truth?  What even is truth?  Well, John--the apostle who saw Jesus with his own eyes--testifies with the words of the Spirit of truth.
