In this episode, Jim sits down with Steve Huber, pastor and author of a new small group study on the book of Colossians, to discuss the challenges we all face in staying grounded in our unshakeable identity in Christ. In a world that frequently encourages us to “follow our hearts,” many of us can feel fragmented and restless. Steve invites us to embrace a refreshing perspective on discovering our true identity—not through the ever-changing standards of society but in the unwavering love and grace of Christ.
