Episode notes
Peter's Human Journey
- Peter was loud, brash, and human, making big promises and big mistakes like denying Jesus three times.
- He later matures, preaches at Pentecost, and likely dies a martyr in Rome, showing real growth and sacrifice.
Gentiles Are Part Of God's Story
- Peter writes from a pro-Roman place to Gentile Christians, using Old Testament imagery to include them in God's story.
- He tells them their outsider status and suffering make sense because they're part of a continuing redemptive narrative.
Suffering Has Spiritual Purpose
- Peter reframes suffering as purposeful and tied to spiritual opposition, not merely human conflict.
- Christians must grow in holiness and endure abuse for Christ, not for mischief or personal gain.
