Episode Synopsis

What if the most astonishing thing in your week isn’t a headline or a highlight reel, but the miracle you’ve started to overlook—grace? We return to 1 Peter and reawaken a sense of holy awe at the salvation we didn’t earn, can’t improve, and won’t lose, because the God who began this work will carry it to glory. We talk about what it means to live as elect exiles with a living hope, not as spectators of a distant story, but as people standing in grace today.We trace a single, unbroken line through Scripture: prophets who searched and spoke by the Spirit of Christ were serving you. From the promised snake-crusher to the ram on Moriah, from Passover blood on wood to the torn curtain, from manna to the bronze serpent and the rock of living water—Jesus stands at the center. Along the way we clear the fog: the Spirit in the prophets is the Spirit of Christ; the Old Testament doesn’t just hint at him, it hums with his arrival. Then we bring the story home. The gospel arrived in your life because someone was sent—a parent, a friend, a pastor, a stranger—and God used their words to open your eyes. Remembering who came to us renews why we go to others.And we lift our gaze to heaven’s reaction. Angels long to look into this grace and erupt in joy over one sinner who repents. If heaven won’t yawn at salvation, why should we? We end with gratitude, communion, and a call to hold fast: stand in grace, fight spiritual apathy, and let your hope in Christ’s return shape your courage and kindness right now. If this conversation rekindled your wonder, share it with a friend, subscribe for more, and leave a review with one line: what renewed your awe today?
