7.31.25 Beardcast on Colossians 3:12-17


Listen Later

Last week we recorded a 2nd episode to share with you this week.

Matt and Zach just dropped some serious wisdom on Paul's letter to the Colossians, specifically Chapter 3, verses 12-17. They really dug into the dangers of individualism in modern Christianity. It's so easy to make faith all about "me," but Paul's message is clear: we're called to live together! Matt highlighted Paul's call to "put on" compassion, kindness, humility, and patience, while Zach emphasized the powerful need to forgive others as God has forgiven us. Matt even praised verse 17 as a potential tattoo verse: do everything in the name of Jesus and give thanks to God.

The conversation shifted to Paul's teachings on unity, stressing that being a "jerk" (their words!) undermines the Church's mission. Matt highlighted Paul's incredible vision of unity in Christ, transcending all divisions – yep, that includes political and social labels! Zach emphasized fostering togetherness and ditching "us versus them" language.

They also tackled how to interpret Paul's writings today, agreeing that while some verses might seem tricky, the core message of treating others with respect and kindness is timeless. Zach explained Paul's urgency in writing was his desire for people to find salvation and hope in Christ.

This discussion was a powerful reminder that our faith isn't meant to be lived in isolation. It's about community, unity, and reflecting Christ's love in every interaction.
