Adorned Podcast Erin & Kacie

Episode 140 of the Adorned Podcast is a bittersweet one as we announce the end of this season in our lives. On our final episode we discuss what led to this decision and reflect on all that The Lord has done in the past 3 1/2 years through this podcast and Adorned Ministries.


We are so thankful for each one of you and we pray that your desire to know God and His Word continues to grow deeper every day!

On episode 139 of the Adorned Podcast we discuss 1 Peter 5:14. In this last part of his letter, Peter is instructing leaders of the church in what it looks like to live faithfully for Christ. He ends by doing exactly what he has done throughout the whole letter. He is reminding the believer who they are and what they are called to. We pray that as you have studied 1 Peter alongside us your love for God and His Word has grown even deeper. Thank you for joining us in this journey!

On episode 138 of the Adorned Podcast we discuss 1 Peter 4:12-19. Peter is continuing to encourage the church in what it looks like to live a holy life and in this section he is speaking specifically to times of suffering. He is reminding us that because of the brokenness of the world there will be suffering, but as believers we will never have to walk through those seasons alone!



Quotes:

“Keep on rejoicing because your suffering as a Christian is an evidence of your union with Christ.” -John Piper

“God hasn’t promised that His children won’t go into the valley of the shadow of death. He promised that we will never go alone.” -R.C. Sproul

“Believers pass through the testing fire of God’s judgment — not because he hates us, but because he loves us and wills our purity. God hates sin so much and loves his children so much that he will spare us no pain to rid us of what he hates.” John Piper

On episode 137 of the Adorned Podcast we discuss 1 Peter 3:8-4:11. In this section of his letter, Peter is helping us answer the question “how do I live faithfully for Jesus Christ in a time like this?” Even though he was addressing the early church, what a great question for us to ask today! We would love for you to join us as we continue to study this encouraging, convicting, and timely book together.



Quotes:

“Peter isn’t telling us that we do these things to earn points for heaven or that if we do these things we will earn heaven, but he’s saying you are chosen, called, powered by the spirit; you are born again by living hope, purifying yourself by obedience to the truth. Because all of that is true, here are the essential characteristics that will flow from lives like that. This difference is vitally important, because if we don’t get that, it will call us into despair because we cannot do this on our own.” -Alistair Begg

“The context in which Peter writes these things is to encourage us that our suffering is used by God as a testimony for righteousness and is accompanied by the Holy Spirit to bring about the Spirit’s purposes of redemption, in the same manner by which our Lord, who was raised by the Spirit, went and preached and saw so much fruit.” - R.C. Sproul

On episode 136 of the Adorned Podcast we discuss 1 Peter 3:1-7. Peter is continuing to explain what it looks like to live a holy life, and in this specific section he is focusing on submission in marriage. Does submission mean that a wife can’t have or express an opinion? What does Peter mean when he calls women the “weaker vessel?” Join us as we break down some of these tough passages and try to understand the heart of what Peter is saying.



Quotes:

“Submission is the divine calling of a wife to honor and affirm her husband’s leadership and help carry it through according to her gifts. It’s the disposition to follow a husband’s authority and an inclination to yield to his leadership.” -John Piper

On episode 135 of the Adorned Podcast we discuss 1 Peter 2:11-25. Peter is continuing to explain what it looks like to live a holy life, and in this specific section he is focusing on submission to human authority. We know that this is a difficult and sometimes sensitive topic, but we try to break it down with grace while remembering that Peter’s main goal is to point us to Jesus!



Quotes:

“To be fully free, we must have the desire, the ability, and the opportunity to do what will make us happy forever. No regrets. And only Jesus, the Son of God who died and rose for us, can make that possible.” -John Piper

“Our motivation rests in this: submission to authority is the strongest apologetic against the view that Christians are never up to any good.” -David Helm
