Well, hello there, my friends. You have found the morning mindset.

As we begin, let me ask you, do you know how it feels to have a good conscience?

When we think about our conscience, we think about this voice in our head that tells us right and wrong.

But friends, today, we're talking about it on a little bit deeper look that flows out of our

identity in Jesus Christ.

We'll be looking at that in 1. Peter chapter 3, verses 15 through 16 today.

So get out your Bibles.

If you have a morning mindset journal, take it out as well.

I want to invite you, before we we get started to join my prayer team.

This is a group of people who just simply have volunteered to pray for me and the ministry of the

morning mindset. You see, this is more than just entertainment. This is getting God's word into

our hearts and minds every single day. And it's being published all around the world, even in four

different languages. So if you would like to be a part of the prayer team that supports me behind the scenes,

all I need is your email to send you a periodic email about what's going on behind the scenes

and the testimonies of what Jesus is doing in the lives of listeners, you can go to morning mindsetmedia.com slash prayer team to sign up.

And friends, as we dig into 1. Peter 315, we once again need the help of the Spirit of God.

So would you please join me as we pray?

Lord Jesus, thank you so much for being faithful to teach us your word.

We ask today, as we think about this issue of a good conscience, that you would give us insight to understand what you're saying to us and how to apply it in everyday living.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Okay, 1st Peter 3 verses 15 and 16. It says, but in your heart's 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. Yet, do it with gentleness and respect, having a good conscience, so that when you are slandered,

those who revile your good behavior in Christ may be put to shame.
