Know God Deeply Podcast

Your identity as a believer is found in being a disciple of Christ. But what does that actually look like in a Christian's day-to-day life?

Colossians 3 tells believers (disciples) to "put on" Christ… to "set your mind" on Christ. But what does that actually mean?

How can you walk in close relationship with Him as His disciple?

In this special bonus episode to close out our Sacred Rhythms series, join Adam, David, Rachel, and guest Angi Tufnell, who holds a Doctor of Ministry specializing in 21st century discipleship.

Come along with us as we dig into Colossians 3:1–17 and discuss practical ways to live out your faith as a follower of Christ.

You'll discover:

• How to rest in your identity in Christ as you set your mind on Him
• How to pursue spiritual growth and obey Jesus' commands—without feeling crushed by the weight of sin
• How to flourish in your relationship with Christ and others

Experience the beautiful freedom of denying yourself… and following Him.
