Ready with a Reason
Peter does not tell Christians to be ready only if they become pastors, missionaries, or Bible teachers. He says to always be ready. That means your faith is not supposed to stay hidden in a private corner of your life. If Jesus has given you hope, then that hope will eventually be noticed. Someone may ask why you pray before lunch, why you choose not to join certain conversations, why you go to church, or why you still believe the Bible when so many voices question it.
