In this sixth episode of the Peter Podcast Series, Andy and Wes discuss 1 Peter 3:8-17, focusing on the way that Christians who live righteous lives in front of others, even in the face of persecution, will find themselves with opportunities to talk with unbelievers about the gospel.
This passage seems to be unified around the theme of Christians who are in a persecuting circumstance continually doing good, living high quality lives (including in fellowship with each other), keeping a clear conscience, and living openly in joyful hope so that unbelievers will ask us to give a reason for the radical difference they see in the way we live. Peter seeks to shut Christians off from bitter vengeance because only good can overcome evil.
