How do we respond to suffering, hostility, or even injustice with steadfast hope? In 1 Peter 3:8–22, the apostle challenges believers to endure trials with humility, to bless rather than retaliate, and to always be ready to share the reason for our hope in Christ. These five devotions build on the message of “Ready to Give a Reason”, helping you reflect more deeply on what it means to live as those who are united with Christ in both his suffering and his victory.

When we think about sharing our faith, we often imagine quick results—powerful moments, instant transformation, visible fruit. But in 1 Peter 3, we’re reminded that one of the most powerful witnesses we can offer is a life marked by quiet faithfulness, gentle strength, and patient trust in God.

This five-day devotional series flows out of our study of 1 Peter 3:1–7 and explores how godliness in our relationships—especially in marriage and family—can become a testimony to Christ. Each day includes a Scripture reading, a reflection, and a prayer to guide you in living out a witness that endures.
