Ep. 131: Peter’s Confession – Who Do You Say That I Am?In this episode of Focused on Christ, Mike Crump and Pastor Nathan Smith dive into one of the most pivotal moments in the Gospels—Peter’s confession in Matthew 16:13–23.

From Jesus’ probing question, “Who do you say that I am?”, to Peter’s bold declaration that He is the Christ, we unpack the depth of this confession, the divine revelation behind it, and what it teaches us about faith, evangelism, and the church.

We also explore the tension between Peter’s great moment of insight and his later rebuke of Jesus, revealing how even devoted followers can misunderstand God’s plan—especially when it involves suffering and sacrifice.

Topics in this episode include:

• The significance of public opinion about Jesus
• What it means to confess Christ as the Son of the living God
• How God reveals truth to His people
• Modern-day hindrances to trusting Christ in suffering
