We return to the book of Colossians with fresh insights about God's transformative love and how understanding this love changes everything about how we live our faith.

• Revisiting the first book of scripture covered on the podcast with deeper understanding and a new companion guide
• Many Christians, even church leaders, struggle to fully believe they are 100% loved by God
• Perfect love casts out fear (1 John 4:18), freeing us from anxiety and shame
• Our perspective should shift from "doing something to be loved" to "doing something because we are loved"
• God's love is unconditional - we are loved not because of what we do but because of who God is
