In this Unfolded episode I return to something we opened up in Session 5, and I tell the story of being handed a book back in 2022 that dismantled my entire inner world, because it exposed just how self centred and me focused my Christianity had been, even while I was using all the right language and doing all the right things. Reading one chapter a day, walking the streets of a Polish city, I found myself face to face with a gospel that self could never carry, and with the realisation that my zeal, my sacrifice, my prayer life, and even my move to another nation had all been sourced by me, and not by Christ as life.

As that centre was exposed, line by line, I began to see from Their viewpoint what They have always wanted, and I realised I had missed Him, missed the tree of life, and missed the glory by living from a gospel that was still about what I got out of it. In this episode I open up Ephesians 1 and sit with a very familiar passage, because alongside our inheritance in Christ there is another inheritance altogether, the Father’s inheritance in the saints, and when that begins to open up it changes how we see the Cross, discipleship, and what the gospel has always been moving toward.

I read Ephesians 1:3–23 from the ESV, and then I leave you with words from DeVern Fromke’s Ultimate Intention, chapter 25, and I simply let them speak for themselves.Participant Guide
