In this episode we start a new mini series by sharing our men's Bible study over Titus. We are joined by Collin and Marcus as we learn important truths about who God's "elect" are and what that really means. We also discuss how a particular view of election and predestination, mostly believed by Calvinists, is not only wrong but dangerous.

In this episode, we dive into 1 Peter 3:18–22, where the apostle Peter unpacks the powerful truth of Christ's suffering, death, and victory over sin—and what that means for us today. We explore what it truly means to “put death to the flesh,” not just as a spiritual metaphor, but as a daily call to surrender our old selves for the sake of righteousness.

Peter draws a striking parallel between Noah’s ark and baptism, revealing how this sacred act is far more than a religious ritual—it's a pledge of a clear conscience toward God, made possible by Christ’s resurrection.

Whether you're a new believer seeking to understand baptism or a seasoned follower wrestling with how to live in the Spirit while putting the flesh to death, this episode invites you to reflect on the transforming power of Christ’s triumph—and the identity we step into through baptism.

In this episode Aaron and Charlie get into the nitty gritty of "taking it on the chin" when you have to suffer, no matter how big or small, for the sake of Christ. Early Christians counted this a great honor and we should as well. It means we are bearing the mark of Christ loud and proud. Charlie also shares a recent experience of what American "problems" are sometimes (not always) like, and how they aren't really problems.

May this episode bless you and encourage you.

In this episode of the Preacher Guys podcast Charlie and Aaron discuss what it means to pursue the person of peace, Jesus, and how our prayers can be hindered if we do not accept His righteousness.

As Christians, we’re called to unity of mind—even when we don’t see eye to eye. Based on 1 Peter 3:8–9, this conversation challenges us to reflect Christ in how we relate, respond, and live together. Also, we offer our opinions for what the first steps a new believer in Christ should take.

In this episode of the Preacher Guys podcast, Aaron and Charlie dive into 1 Peter 3, exploring what the Bible says about submission, marriage roles, and the relationship between husbands and wives. They discuss the cultural and spiritual context of Peter’s words, address controversial views on submission, and share personal experiences of how living with understanding and intentionality transforms relationships. Tune in for insights on biblical leadership, love, and mutual respect in marriage.

What does it really mean to submit to authority—even when it’s unfair? And how do we walk through unjust suffering without losing hope or identity?

In this episode of The Preacher Guys Podcast, we dive deep into 1 Peter 2:13–21 and unpack what it means to live out godly submission in today’s world. From honoring leaders we disagree with, to suffering with patience, to finding strength in the example of Christ—this conversation will challenge and encourage anyone wrestling with injustice, anger, or self-worth.

We also talk about:

• Law enforcement and Romans 13
• When bad bosses or unfair leaders test our faith
• Why greasy grace and “cheap forgiveness” isn’t biblical
• How children and coworkers watch your reaction to hardship
• And the soul-anchoring truth: you are not a failure in Christ.

This one’s real, raw, and rooted in the Word.

In this episode of the Preacher Guys Podcast, Aaron and Charlie explore 1 Peter 2:1–12, breaking down the powerful imagery of believers as living stones and a royal priesthood. What does it mean to be built on Christ, the cornerstone? How do we live as exiles in a world that’s not our home? And how can our conduct influence the unbelieving world around us?

Topics include:

• The heart posture of holiness (malice, envy, hypocrisy)
• Why Jesus is both a cornerstone and a stumbling block
• Our identity in Christ as God’s chosen people
• The importance of integrity and humility in daily life
• How our actions testify to others, even when we don’t realize it

Join the conversation and be encouraged to stand firm in your faith, grow in spiritual maturity, and live a life that reflects the glory of God.

In this episode, we dive deep into 1 Peter 1:10–25, exploring the rich truths behind the prophets’ longing for salvation, the mystery of grace, and the glory of Christ revealed in our time. From the awe of angels to the power of the Spirit, we reflect on how God’s eternal Word still transforms lives today.

Key Topics Discussed:

• The prophetic anticipation of Christ’s sufferings and glories (vv. 10–12)
• Why angels long to look into salvation
• What it really means to be “sober-minded”
• Emotional intoxication vs. spiritual clarity
• Why holiness is still the standard for God’s people
• The precious ransom of Jesus' blood
• Why the Word of God remains forever
• Encouragement for both the young and old in the faith

In this episode, Aaron and Charlie kick off a new verse-by-verse study through the book of 1 Peter, diving deep into verses 1–12. They explore what it means to be born again to a living hope, how trials refine the genuineness of our faith, and why our salvation is more precious than gold. With personal stories, practical insights, and a raw look at God's all-encompassing grace, this episode reminds us that faith isn’t just a feeling—it’s our shield, our anchor, and the key to eternal inheritance. Whether you’re new to 1 Peter or revisiting it, this conversation will challenge and encourage you in your walk with Christ.
