Colossians 4:7–18

Finishing well, staying faithful, and the power of spiritual community.

Show Notes:

Paul ends with shoutouts — but each name carries purpose.

We talk about faithfulness behind the scenes and encouragement in ministry.

Finish well. Show up faithfully. And build the Kingdom quietly or loudly.

Ordinary believers made an eternal impact through faithfulness.

Encouragement and spiritual friendship matter more than platform.

Finish the assignment God gave *you* — not someone else’s calling.

Discussion Questions:

Which name or story stood out to you — and why?

How can you be an encourager in someone else’s faith journey?

What has God asked you to carry — and are you finishing strong?

Colossians 3:18–4:6

Living out your faith where it matters most — at home, at work, and in the world.

Show Notes:

- Paul speaks into home life, work life, and public witness.

- We break down biblical submission, servant leadership, and wise speech.

Does working for the Lord change how you approach your job?

Where is God calling you to be more intentional in your witness?

Colossians 3:1–17

Theme: Living a transformed life that reflects Christ, not culture.

Show Notes:

- Paul calls us to shift our mindset to heavenly things.

- We talk about killing the old self and clothing ourselves in Christ.

What you “put on” matters: compassion, kindness, and love are your spiritual wardrobe.

Discussion Questions:

- What thoughts do you need to take captive and surrender?

- Which 'old self' behaviors sneak back into your life?

 - Which of Christ’s virtues do you need help 'putting on' today?
