What protects us from deception? John’s answer may surprise you — not just discernment, but belonging.

As we continue Part 2 of our journey through 1 John (chapters 3–5), we pause at 1 John 3:1 to behold the astonishing love of the Father — agapē — the initiating, redefining love that calls us His children and anchors our identity in Christ. Together, we explore how abiding in God’s love reshapes who we are, how we live, and how we love others.

If you missed the foundation of abiding and walking in the light, go back and listen to Part 1 (chapters 1–2) before continuing the journey with us on the back porch.

Step into Part 2 of our journey through 1 John (chapters 3–5) as we explore 1 John 2:18–29 and John’s urgent reminder for believers living in “the last hour.” When deception sounds sincere and truth feels harder to recognize, how do we stay steady? John’s answer is surprisingly simple: abide in Christ.

In this episode, we talk about antichrists, discernment, and how the Spirit anchors us so we can live with confidence instead of fear. If you’re new, start with Part 1 (chapters 1–2) to build the foundation of abiding, walking in the light, and living from fellowship with God.

In this final workshop episode, we move from study to living—where God’s Word shifts from information to transformation. Application is where truth takes root in your daily life. Learn how to bridge the gap between hearing the Word and living it out with clarity, courage, and joy.

Pride often hides behind fear and whispers, “It’s all on you.” But God’s love tells a different story. In this final episode of our Pride Wears a Mask mini-series, we’ll pause to reflect on the love that formed us before birth, pursued us through redemption, and still holds us today. This is the love that unmasks pride, silences fear, and invites us into trust, rest, and freedom in Christ.
