We are crucified with Christ and, as we die with Him, our new life is found in Him. We are raised to new life and He lives in us. Today we see what it truly means that Christ lives in us.

Today, we see the heart of the Galatians 2: through our baptism we have been crucified with Christ. The true life of discipleship is dying to our flesh to live with Christ.

As we continue in Galatians 2, we examine the truth that we are dead to sin and alive to God. We ask the Holy Spirit to help us live in that identity, truly alive in Christ Jesus.

This week, we begin to dive into Paul’s famous passage from Galatians 2 where he discusses being crucified with Christ. In today’s episode, Paul warns us that if we rely on our own strength, we will end up in sin.

As we end our week, Paul teaches us that the gospel of peace, the shield of faith, and the helmet of salvation are all necessary pieces of our armor. We discuss in particular how we guard our minds from the enemy.

As we continue to learn the elements of our armor, Paul instructs us to protect our hearts. God desires to protect our hearts with his righteousness so that our hearts stay soft and tender to his love.

Paul instructs us to clothe ourselves with the armor of God. Today, we begin to learn about the elements of God’s armor, starting with truth as our belt.

As we dive into the spiritual battle we are in, Paul shows us that in the battle Jesus fights on our behalf. Our job is to imitate Mary at the foot of the cross: standing in the victory God has won for us.

This week, Rachel shares stories from her trip to Rwanda and we begin to dive into Ephesians 6. We ask the Holy Spirit to help us see the spiritual battle that we are in and help us learn how to fight.

Are we paying attention to the voice of God or are we ignoring his voice and plan?
