In the opening episode of our new series #DeathToSelfie, we dive into one of the most countercultural truths of following Jesus: the Christian life begins where the old self ends.

Using Colossians 3:1–5 as our foundation, we explore why Scripture tells us not to negotiate with sin, not to manage it, and not to appease it—but to kill it. Through the historical lens of Neville Chamberlain’s “Great Appeasement” of Hitler in 1938, we draw a powerful parallel: what we refuse to confront will eventually destroy us.

This week’s conversation covers:

• Why killing sin is not optional for the believer
• How “lingering sin” quietly shapes our identity, relationships, and future
• The difference between struggling with sin and practicing sin
• Why every sin makes a false promise—and how God’s Word dismantles its lies
• How the Holy Spirit empowers real transformation that lasts
• The hope that freedom is possible, even if you’ve battled something for years

Whether you feel stuck, discouraged, or numb toward the compromises you’ve made, this episode reminds you: the fight itself is evidence of God at work in you. There is freedom, restoration, and victory available through Jesus—freedom not just from something, but for something.

If you’re ready to stop letting sin linger and start experiencing the life Christ intends for you, this is the place to begin.
