The Trinity . . . At Work

Share a comment

Start with the headlines if you want, but the deeper story is bigger than outrage. We explore how scattered believers can live with courage and clarity by seeing salvation through the lens of the Trinity: the Father who foreloves and places us, the Spirit who sanctifies and empowers us in the present, and the Son who commands our obedience while cleansing our failures. Instead of treating exile as an accident, we reframe it as assignment.

We walk through 1 Peter’s opening lines and draw out what foreknowledge really means, why it’s more than prediction, and how that truth transforms fear into assurance. From there, we get practical about the Spirit’s daily work—opening Scripture, fueling worship that doesn’t depend on mood or music, prompting prayer when words fail, and exposing the folly of trying to run a life or a church on human power alone. If you’ve felt more foreign in your own city, we show why that ache can be a signal of grace: you’re being set apart for a different kingdom.

Finally, we center on Jesus: obedience not as legalism but as loyal listening, paired with the strong comfort of His sprinkled blood. Old Testament echoes—covenant, priesthood, cleansing—come alive and point to a joy that guilt can’t mute. The result is not escapism, but steadiness: grace and peace multiplied, not because the world calms down, but because our reconciliation with God holds firm. If you need a framework to stand steady in a shaky moment, this conversation offers it.

If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs courage today, and leave a quick review so more exiles can find their footing.

What does it look like to live a holy life? In In Pursuit of Holiness, Stephen shows you how to think clearly, resist sin, and live differently in a culture that pulls you the other way.
