We spend a lot of time paying attention to what’s happening around us.
Cultural shifts.
Moral confusion.
A growing sense that things are moving away from the way of Jesus.
But Scripture points us somewhere unexpected.
In Colossians 2, Paul warns that the greater danger isn’t just what’s happening outside the church—it’s what can quietly take root within us. Ideas, assumptions, and ways of thinking that sound spiritual but slowly pull us away from the simplicity of the gospel.
This episode explores:
Why distraction—not just opposition—is the real threat to spiritual life
How we subtly add to Jesus and dilute the gospel
The danger of spiritual “mixtures” (faith + control, faith + performance, faith + identity)
What it means to be rooted and established in Christ
Why Jesus is not a part of your life—but the center of it
Jesus is enough.
When we add to Him, we lose sight of Him.
When we trust Him, we discover we lack nothing.
Colossians 2:8–15
Ezekiel 36:25–27
Romans 12:1–2
