What if the foundation your marriage needs isn't a stronger husband, better circumstances, or even a stronger marriage — but a stronger trust in God?

That's the thread Peter has been weaving through two entire chapters, and we pick it up right where Part 1 left off. Governments can be unjust. Servants can be mistreated. Wives can be married to men who aren't leading. And in every single one of those scenarios, Peter's answer is the same: trust God. Not because the situation isn't hard, but because God is the one who judges justly — and He never, ever fails.

In Part 2 of "Jesus Take the Wheel", we walk through the final verses of 1 Peter 3:1–6, including the one that tends to raise the most eyebrows: Sarah calling Abraham Lord. Sarah was no doormat. She laughed at God. She tried to take control with Hagar. She made real mistakes. And yet Hebrews puts her in the hall of faith. Because Peter isn't holding Sarah up as an example of a perfect wife. He's holding her up as an example of a woman whose honor for her husband was rooted in trust in God's sovereignty, not in Abraham's perfection.

We also talk about fear — the fear underneath so many relationship struggles, the fear of not being heard, not being chosen, of things never changing — and what Peter says to women living in a volatile, pagan Roman world with husbands who held total legal power over them. He doesn't tell them to cower. He calls them to the fierce, unshakeable courage of daughters of Sarah.

We close with the question that ties everything together: where have you placed your hope? In your circumstances changing? In your husband stepping up? In a stronger marriage? All of those things may or may not come. But God — who raised Jesus from the dead, who brought something unexpected out of Teddy and Maya's own hard season — never fails.

Fill your cup. Trust God. Live differently.
