Welcome to The Book of First Peter! Today we highlight Peter's encouragement for those struggling through trials:

  • Peter's letter is addressed to Christians living as foreigners in various communities, reminding them to obey Jesus and be sprinkled with his blood - what this means and its significance today.
  • Peter's letter is meant to encourage Christians to have faith and obedience, as these go hand in hand.
  • Jesus tells Nicodemus that one must be born of water and spirit to enter God's kingdom. What does Jesus mean by this?
  • Peter's letter reminds Christians that trials are for the proof of their faith. Though trials are grievous, they may result in praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

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.
