Peter's advice to the church is to suffer well and have endurance through persecution:

  • The concept of suffering and sin, referencing Romans 6, where Paul says that those who have died to sin are no longer bound by it.
  • This doesn't mean Christians are sinless, but rather that they've died to their old selves and are made alive in Christ.
  • Putting old sins to death is a daily process, requiring faith and obedience to Jesus.
  • The importance of studying Jesus' life and falling in love with who He is, as this helps Christians understand how to please Him.

Meet Your Host
Jenn Kokal grew up in a Christian household. In 2019, she noticed a common problem - too many Christians questioning faith, God, and the validity of the Bible. Since Jenn had a newfound love for God's Word, she wanted to spread its truth. Thus, P40 Ministries and The Bible Explained were born. Jenn's mission with The Bible Explained podcast is to go through the Bible cover-to-cover while answering common questions about God, Christianity, historical validity of the Scriptures, and the state of the world.

In her personal life, Jenn is a homebody who loves playing music, painting, and being a youth leader alongside her husband. Jenn lives in a little house in the middle of the Ohio sticks with her husband of eleven years and their two Jack Russells, Bandit and Cody.
