Putting Off the Old: Making Space for New Life


Listen Later

Have you ever realized you’re still carrying things that no longer fit who you are in Christ?In this episode, we walk through Colossians 3:5–11 and explore what it means to “put off the old self” and “put on the new.”

Through a simple metaphor — cleaning out your closet — Lexie helps us see how following Jesus means letting go of old habits, patterns, and beliefs that no longer serve the person He’s shaping us to be.

You’ll also be guided through a gentle journaling practice to help you name what you’re releasing and make space for renewal.

In this episode:

  • Why Paul’s call to “put to death” the old nature is really an invitation to freedom

  • How to recognize what no longer fits your new life in Christ

  • A practical journaling exercise to help you release and renew

  • Reflection prompts to deepen your connection with God
