Troy is out of the saddle this week, but Craig wrangles author and all-around good guy, Ray Keating, to sit down and talk about his new book, “Menace – an Agen Dean Cold Novel.” Keating’s book is not only immensely engrossing and entertaining, but it’s also provocative, asking questions like, “What would happen to the Christian Church if intelligent life from another planet came to Earth?”

Well, he's the one who tells us we are of equal standing in faith with the apostles and all the saints.  We are of equal standing of righteousness even with Christ, because Christ has called us in and by His own glory.

Craig and Troy close out Peter's first epistle to the Church.  Humbling yourself requires you to realize who you are and who God is.  But when you realize those things, you will have a place to put away your anxiety.

Peter enters into a discussion that doesn't tickle our ears very well, but it still a plain fact of the Christian's life: we will suffer on account of Christ.  What does that mean?  How do we do it?  Craig and Troy explain, discuss, and demonstrate suffering for you.

When Peter says "whoever has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin," what exactly does he mean by that?  What does it mean when the world is surprised when we will not join them in their revelries?  And what does it mean for us in the church to cover over sins?  Craig and Troy walk through the opening verses of 1 Peter chapter 4.

*in sarcastic voice* Thank goodness for bible verses that are perfectly clear!  Well honestly, thank God for ALL of His word, because we need it all to understand it all.  Craig and Troy do a little work on 1 Peter 3, Christ's descent into Hell, and the foreshadowing of God's gift of salvation in baptism.

How can we be righteous even in the face of evil?  What does it mean to suffer with another?  Why would we even talk about suffering?  And what's Troy's beef with the editors of the ESV, anyway?  Craig and Troy do a deep dive into Peter's guidance for the Church and every believer who is in Christ.

 . . . which is exactly what Jesus did for you.  He suffered for your sin, the righteous for the unrighteous.
