Know God Deeply Podcast

What does it mean to walk in the light?
And what do we do with the reality of our sin?
In this first episode of Season 4, we begin our study of 1 John by exploring the contrast between light and darkness and the hope we have in Jesus.
David, Adam, Rachel, and Corina walk through 1 John 1:1–2:6 and explore:
How John describes his firsthand experience with Jesus
Why truth matters in the face of false teaching
What Scripture teaches about light and darkness
Why we cannot claim to be without sin
How can you let the light of Christ change the way you respond to your own sin
What it practically looks like to walk in the light
Walk in the light, where grace and truth meet.
Scripture Passages and Verses Referenced: 1 John 1:1–2:6; John 14:15–21.

Your identity as a believer is found in being a disciple of Christ. But what does that actually look like in a Christian's day-to-day life?
Colossians 3 tells believers (disciples) to "put on" Christ… to "set your mind" on Christ. But what does that actually mean?
How can you walk in close relationship with Him as His disciple?
In this special bonus episode to close out our Sacred Rhythms series, join Adam, David, Rachel, and guest Angi Tufnell, who holds a Doctor of Ministry specializing in 21st century discipleship.
Come along with us as we dig into Colossians 3:1–17 and discuss practical ways to live out your faith as a follower of Christ.
You'll discover:
How to rest in your identity in Christ as you set your mind on Him
How to pursue spiritual growth and obey Jesus' commands—without feeling crushed by the weight of sin
How to flourish in your relationship with Christ and others
Experience the beautiful freedom of denying yourself… and following Him.

We all know it's true—community can be painful and difficult.
But what if—despite the hurts done by and to us—God is still calling us to true, deep, loving community?
Tune into this episode to explore 1 Corinthians 12. In this passage, Paul uses the metaphor of a body to remind us…
To be a Christian is to belong to a community
Serving your fellow believers can be a joy to you and others
Being a part of community can be painful, but it's worth it
Scripture Passages and Verses Referenced: Ephesians 4; Romans 12.
