Who was Peter before he wrote 1 Peter, and why does his story matter for us? In this introduction, Cindy traces Peter’s journey from impulsive fisherman to restored shepherd, then opens 1 Peter 1:1–2 to show how God names, chooses, and forms scattered believers. If you’ve ever failed, feared, or felt like an exile, this letter and this episode are for you. Grace and peace are not goals to earn; they’re gifts to live from.
