Read in Context

Read the entire letter to the Colossians (chapters 1–4). Then spend extra time sitting in Colossians 3, noticing:

  • What believers are called to put off
  • What believers are called to put on
  • How gratitude is woven throughout the passage

Ask yourself:

How should this change the way I think?
 How should this change the way I live?

Quote from the Episode

“Our hallelujah—our worship—is not just a song or a prayer. It’s our lives. It’s taking our everyday, ordinary life—our sleeping, eating, going-to-work, walking-around life—and doing everything in the name of the Lord Jesus.”
