Send us a text What if the cure for spiritual doubt isn’t trying harder but changing your focus? In this episode, we examine Peter’s letter to believers who’d lost almost everything: their homes, comfort, and normal life, yet were told to “greatly rejoice.” Their anchor wasn’t optimism. It was a living hope rooted in the resurrection of Jesus and an inheritance that can never decay or fade. Genuine assurance develops when you stop measuring your faith by your performance and begin trusting the One who sustains you. Peter’s words are intentional: your inheritance is reserved in heaven for you, and the power of God keeps you through faith. That double security changes everything. Trials stop feeling like threats and start revealing where your trust rests. With stories of personal doubt and reminders from Galatians 2:20 and Hebrews 12:2, we trace a clear truth: God begins, God keeps, and God completes what He starts. If you’ve ever wondered, Did I pray right? Did I believe enough? Am I doing enough good? This conversation will bring relief. Assurance doesn’t rest on how strong your faith feels, but on who you have faith in. Like Noah inside the ark, safety isn’t in hanging on from the outside; it’s in resting on the inside, trusting what God has already finished. We also look beyond ourselves to the global church, remembering believers under pressure in West Africa and around the world, standing firm in the same living hope. Come for theology that steadies your heart and stay for practical peace you can carry into the week: abundant mercy, living hope, incorruptible inheritance, and the unshakable truth that God’s power holds you. Short Summary: Peter reminds scattered believers that assurance doesn’t come from effort but from trust. God births us into a living hope, secures our inheritance, and keeps us by His power, turning doubt into steady confidence in Christ. Thanks for listening.
