You’ve been given a new wardrobe — not one of perfection, but of presence. In this episode, we explore what it means to “put on” compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and love as Paul teaches in Colossians 3:12–14.

Lexie shares a story about the seasons changing — how, just like reaching for that favorite fall sweater, we are invited to reach for a new way of living in Christ. You’ll be reminded that spiritual renewal is a process — one where we learn to dress our souls in what already belongs to us in Him.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• What it means to “put on” the new self (Colossians 3:12–14)
• Why compassion, kindness, and humility are spiritual clothing
• How forgiveness and love complete our transformation in Christ
• A simple guided imaginative prayer to realign your heart with God’s love

We’ve all carried labels that were never meant to stick — not enough, too much, unworthy, forgotten. In Colossians 2:11–17, Paul reminds us that those labels were cut away when we came to Christ. In their place, we were given a new identity — one rooted in His love and freedom.

In this episode, Lexie unpacks what it means to be “dead to the old, alive to the new” and how to actually live from your new identity in the everyday moments of life — from the way you speak to yourself to the way you show up in relationships.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

Reflection Practice:Take a quiet moment this week to write down the labels you’ve been carrying — the words or beliefs that have shaped how you see yourself. Then, next to each one, write a new word that reflects who you are in Christ.(Example: Not enough → Chosen. Forgotten → Known. Inadequate → Complete in Him.)

Scripture: Colossians 2:11–17

In today’s episode, we’re slowing down to explore one of the deepest questions we all wrestle with: What is my purpose?

The world often tells us that purpose is something we have to earn — a title, a job, a dream achieved. But Scripture paints a different picture.In Colossians 1:18–22, Paul reminds us that purpose isn’t found in performance — it’s found in a Person.

Everything — from galaxies to your ordinary Tuesday — finds its meaning and completion in Jesus.

Through Him, God is reconciling everything back to Himself — restoring what was broken, renewing what feels forgotten, and bringing peace where there once was distance.

In this episode, we’ll talk about:

• What it means to find your worth in being His rather than in what you do

• How reconciliation changes not just your relationship with God, but how you love others

• Three practical ways to live with purpose and reflect His heart in everyday life

Whether you’re in a season of waiting, striving, or wondering if you’ve lost your way — today’s episode will remind you:

You were made on purpose, for His purpose. You are being restored, made whole, and invited into His reconciling story.

Through story, reflection, and a simple breath prayer, we’ll explore what it means to rest in the hands of the One who sustains both galaxies and our daily lives.
