Well, hello, my friends. I have a question for you as we begin this episode of the

morning mindset. Can you defend your faith in Jesus? You understand what I'm asking. Can you

explain? Can you defend why believing in Jesus is the right thing to do for every human being. Welcome to the

morning mindset. This is where we get our minds aligned with the truth of God's word for this day.

We're going to be doing that by looking at 1st Peter chapter 3 verses 15 and 16. So get out your

Bibles. We'll be looking at that in just a moment. And before we do,

I want to recognize today's daily sponsor. We have a Morning Myset listener named Wes,

who has underwritten the cost for today's episode just out of appreciation for the Morning

Mindset. So thank you, Wes. It's great to have you on board as a partner. Friends, if you would

like to sponsor a daily episode, you can do so in on board as a partner. Friends, if you would like to sponsor a

daily episode, you can do so in your name like Wes did, or even anonymously. You can do it in

memory of someone, even as a prayer request. Go to morning mindsetmedia.com slash daily sponsor

to sign up to do that. Okay, friends, before we dig into First Peter chapter three,

once again, we are going to pray because we need God's help to understand his word and more

importantly how to apply his word to our lives. So, Lord God, we are resting in you today.

We are trusting in you today as you guide us in understanding these words that

Peter has written at the direction of your Holy Spirit. Give us wisdom and discernment to know how to

apply it to our lives. We ask in Jesus' name, amen. Okay, First Peter chapter 3, verses 15 through 16,

is where we are going.

Now, Peter has been talking about people responding badly to the fact that we are Christians.

And here in verse 15, he says, but in your hearts, honor Christ the Lord as holy,

always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you.
