Join Pastor Stephen Mizell, Pastor Jay Rivenbark, and Alyssa Bream as they explore what it means to live as temporary residents in this world, examining how Christians maintain holy lives through submission and quiet strength that mirrors Christ.

Scripture Focus: 1 Peter 2:11-3:7 - Peter calls believers to live honorably among unbelievers through Christlike character rather than protest or retreat.

In This Episode:

• Living as "strangers and exiles" in today's world
• Why honorable behavior matters more than being right
• How submission displays strength, not weakness
• Reflecting Christ's humility in marriage
• Honoring authority without endorsing evil

Key Quote: "Holiness shines the brightest when culture grows darkest—not through rebellion, but through reflection of Jesus Christ."
