Summary
Where do we find peace? As we continue in our series, “Forged,” Dale reminds us that peace is found with God. Dale looks to 1 Peter to remind us that our job as believers is to tell everyone the good news despite experiencing worldly bad news.
1 Peter 3:18-4:6
1) Christ has triumphed over evil
2) No matter the suffering, we do God’s will
3) Everyone will give an account
Life Group Questions:
1) When you come to a difficult or "bumpy" passage in the Bible, how do you approach the text?
2) In the context of recent events, how do you hold on to the peace of knowing that Christ has already achieved victory?
3) In what ways have you suffered or been persecuted for your beliefs? How has that impacted your faith?

| 0:17.4 | And we've all possibly experienced turbulence before, but this was more than turbulence. |
| 0:22.6 | This was like a roller coaster. And in fact, anyone here afraid of flying? Okay, this isn't going to |
| 0:28.5 | help you, Allison. Anyone else? This is not the morning for you. Just tune out for just the next |
| 0:34.4 | two minutes. And, but it was one of those flights that I'll never forget. |
| 0:39.2 | I remember sitting in my chair and the pilot comes on. |
| 0:43.4 | I was like, all right, everyone, everyone prepare for turbulence. |

| 0:48.4 | It was like, everyone get ready. |
| 0:50.6 | And in fact, the cart was returning while the turbulence hit. |
| 0:55.6 | Like it was one of those moments where it was just like, oh, what's that cart doing? And what's my body doing? And, oh, this is why we |

| 1:12.3 | all through this flight. And in fact, I remember a moment where I felt like the cart lifted |
| 1:16.7 | off the ground. I thought it hit the roof. My wife told me it didn't hit the roof. But it felt |
| 1:21.0 | like it hit the roof. I made eye contact with the ginger rail. And I thought, I've never seen a |
| 1:25.7 | cart do that on a plane. Like I just didn't know that that was |
