Thoughtful Thursdays from 2023

In 1st Peter Chapter 5 the church is told to be vigilant and sober because our enemy the Devil is described as a roaring lion seeking for who he may devour. But what exactly does this mean and how does it apply to our lives. Is there a spiritual aspect of sobriety that we don’t really think about? All these things and more will be covered into today’s episode as Zachary digs into the analogy that Peter uses and shares a story from his personal life where it actually came into practice.
