Following Jesus is not separate from everyday life. In this episode, John, Andrew, and Renée explore Colossians 3–4 and explain how our homes, workplaces, relationships, and ordinary responsibilities can become places where we live on mission and help others see Jesus.
Paul challenges believers to set their minds on things above, put off the old self, and put on the character of Christ. That transformation changes how we love others, approach our work, respond to difficult circumstances, and use the opportunities God gives us.
The conversation also explores how prayer, gracious speech, and intentional relationships help ordinary believers make disciples. You do not need to travel somewhere special to join Jesus on mission—you are called to follow him right where you are.
