What does it mean to truly be a theologian? Is it reserved for the professionally trained, or can anyone earn that title simply by studying God and His Word? We promise you'll leave this episode with a fresh perspective on what it means to be a theologian. As we kick off Season 5 of the Regular Guys Bible Study Podcast by delving into the rich teachings of 2 Peter, you'll discover that we're all called to be theologians in our own right. Together, we'll unpack the qualities from 2 Peter 1:1-15 that are essential for growing effectively in our knowledge of Jesus Christ, such as faith, virtue, knowledge, self-control, steadfastness, godliness, brotherly affection, and love.

In this deep dive, we explore the profound concept of being "partakers of the divine nature," as discussed in 2 Peter 1:4-7, and whether this divine participation is limited to the afterlife or begins here on earth. We'll also share practical examples of self-control, addressing everyday struggles like food temptations and managing anger. As we reflect on 2 Peter 1:9-18, we confront the challenges of practicing brotherly affection and selflessness in our often self-absorbed society. By examining Apostle Peter's life and his emphasis on diligent faith, we draw inspiration on how to stand firm in Christ amidst persecution. Tune in for a thought-provoking and spiritually enriching discussion that emphasizes the importance of remembering and living out Peter's timeless teachings.
