Faith Under Fire | Ep. 83

Ever wonder how the early Christians found hope when they were being hunted down and used as human torches? Welcome to our deep dive into 1 and 2 Peter, where we uncover how one of Jesus' closest followers wrote secret coded messages to encourage believers facing unimaginable persecution under Emperor Nero.

This episode transports you between 61 and 64 AD, when Rome burned for six days. Nero, having orchestrated the destruction himself, blamed Christians to deflect responsibility. The result? A horrifying wave of persecution where tarred and burned alive as human lamps in the emperor's gardens.

What makes these ancient letters so relevant today? Whether you're facing financial hardship, social pressure, or spiritual challenges, Peter's message speaks directly to our modern struggles.
