Synopsis

Do you feel like a stranger in your own life? Like you don't quite belong in a world that doesn't share your values?

You're not confused—you're a chosen sojourner, and the Bible has powerful words for you.

As a believer, you're a citizen of heaven temporarily living on earth. This creates a unique tension: You love God and His Word, but you live among people who don't. You long for deeper spiritual connection but feel isolated in your faith journey. You want to live faithfully but struggle to navigate a culture that doesn't understand your convictions.

The apostle Peter understood this tension intimately. Writing to Strangers in a Strange Land, he addressed believers who felt displaced, uncertain, and sometimes overwhelmed by their circumstances. His words, though written nearly 2,000 years ago, speak directly to the challenges you face today.

In this 10-week study, you'll discover:

• Your identity as a "chosen sojourner" and what that means for daily life
• How to reconcile your desire to belong with the reality of feeling displaced
• Practical wisdom from 1 and 2 Peter for living faithfully in a hostile culture
• Seven Old Testament women who knew what it means to be strangers—and how their stories illuminate Peter's teaching
• That your feelings of displacement are actually evidence that you belong to God

What makes this study unique: Each week begins with an imaginative retelling from the perspective of a biblical woman who understood what it meant to be a stranger in a strange land—Ruth, Esther, Rebekah, and others.

These creative vignettes help ancient Scripture come alive, showing you're not the first woman to feel this way, and you won't be the last. Then you'll dive into Peter's letters with daily Scripture reading, thought-provoking questions, and space for personal reflection.

This study is perfect for individual study or small groups. Each week includes five days of homework plus a sixth day for reflection, prayer, and application. You'll read through all eight chapters of 1 and 2 Peter multiple times, allowing God's Word to sink deep into your heart.

By the end of this study, you'll understand that while you may be a stranger here, you're no stranger to God. Your displacement is temporary. Your belonging is eternal. And the God who called you will keep you faithful until the day you arrive at your true forever home.

Your journey starts here. Welcome home, stranger.
