The Other Six Podcast

What does it really mean to live a Jesus-first life? In this episode of The Other Six podcast, we explore what it means to put off the old self and put on the new. From forgiveness and love to gratitude, worship, and letting the Word of Christ dwell in us richly, Paul shows us that following Jesus is about more than checking off a list of good behaviors. It’s about living out the new identity we’ve been given in Christ. Join us as we unpack how the gospel transforms our character, shapes our relationships, and influences everything we say and do.

In this episode of The Other Six podcast, we dig deeper into Colossians 3:5-11 to talk about putting off the old self, what God’s wrath actually looks like, and what it means for Christ to be “all and in all.”

What does it actually mean to put Jesus first—not just as a weekly routine or a moral checklist, but as your life’s supreme pursuit? In this episode of the Other Six podcast, we dive into Colossians 3:1–4 to explore why our spiritual growth is directly linked to the desires of our hearts. We look at the crucial shift from identity to behavior, what it means that Jesus is currently seated in authority at the right hand of God, and how to redirect our minds toward things above when finite world offerings leave us feeling dry and unsatisfied. Whether you’re experiencing a season of spiritual dryness, wrestling with distraction, or longing to deepen your genuine affection for Christ, this conversation offers a grounded, grace-filled look at moving from a life that merely includes Jesus to a life that truly revolves around Him.

In this episode of The Other Six podcast, we explore Colossians 2:6–23 to unpack what it truly means to live a life "rooted and built up" in Christ rather than treating Him as merely the starting line of our faith. Paul’s warning against "philosophy and empty deceit" challenges the competing voices, religious legalism, and self-reliance that try to convince us we need something more to achieve spiritual completeness. Together, we examine how human regulations, spiritual pride, and external performance fail to bring heart transformation, reminding us that Jesus + nothing truly equals everything for the Christian life.

In this episode of the Other Six podcast, we explore Colossians 1:24–2:5 and what it looks like to keep Jesus at the center when life gets difficult. God can use hardship to help us live Jesus-first—not by simply getting us through difficult seasons, but by using them to deepen our relationship with Christ, strengthen our service to Him, and shape the way we love others. We’ll look at how hardship helps us know Jesus more deeply, serve Jesus better, and love others like Jesus. Through Paul’s example, we see a life shaped by the Word of God, rooted in union with Christ, committed to helping others mature in Jesus, and willing to personally invest in and spiritually protect those around us.

In this episode of the Other Six, we take a deeper look at what it means to truly know Jesus by seeing Jesus fully. Walking through Colossians 1:15–23, we discover who Jesus really is—God fully revealed, the Creator and Sustainer of everything, the Lord of the new creation, and the One who reconciles all things to God. But this passage doesn’t just give us a clearer picture of Jesus; it also shows us who we are because of Him. We were once alienated from God, but through Christ we have been reconciled, restored, and brought into a relationship with Him. Now, we’re called to remain faithful and continue living with Jesus at the center. When our view of Jesus becomes clearer, our view of everything else begins to change. The more we see Jesus for who He truly is, the more we understand who we are in Him. At the end of the day, it’s all about Jesus—only about Jesus, and always about Jesus. Tune in as we explore what it looks like to keep Christ in view and let the truth of who He is shape the way we live.

In this episode of the Other Six podcast, we explore what it means to truly put Jesus First, with a question that gets to the heart of how we live: Who’s really in charge of your life? We take a look at what happens when we stop putting ourselves at the center and begin putting Jesus first. The Jesus-first life isn’t simply about adding Jesus to everything else we’re already doing—it’s about letting Him transform how we see ourselves, how we live, and how we follow Him. What does that actually change? And what does it look like to live under the loving, wise, and liberating rule of Jesus? In a world that constantly tells us to put ourselves first, this message challenges us to consider what life could look like when Jesus takes His rightful place at the center. This week, discover what happens when Jesus truly becomes first.

What makes a church feel like family? One big part of it is learning to serve one another. In this episode of the Other Six Podcast, we talk about how God didn’t just save us from something—He saved us for something. Ephesians 2:8–10 reminds us that while we aren’t saved by good works, we are saved for good works. We’ll explore how God has uniquely SHAPEd each of us to serve through our Spiritual gifts, Heart, Abilities, Personality, and Experiences. Whether it’s serving with VF Buddies, Worship & Production, Follow Up & Care, or another area of the church, there’s a place for you to use what God has given you to meet needs, love people, and bring glory to Him. Church feels like family when we don’t just attend the family—we serve in the family.

What does it really mean to be part of the family of God?

In this episode of the Other Six Podcast, we dive deeper into Romans 12 and Ephesians 2 to uncover what it means to move from being strangers and outsiders to being fully welcomed into God’s household. Paul’s message to the early church was more than an invitation to attend—it was a call to belong, to serve, and to recognize that we are members of one another. We’ll explore the tension between Jewish and Gentile believers in the first-century church, the difference between spiritual gifts and natural talents, and why serving isn’t simply about volunteering—it’s one of the ways we live out our identity as the family of God. Because church feels like family when you treat it like family.

In this episode of the Other Six Podcast, we unpack the biblical definition of a disciple, explore the significance of the Trinity in the Great Commission, and talk practically about what it looks like to live sent in our everyday lives. We’ll also connect the four rhythms we’ve explored throughout the series—gathering in worship, growing in the Word, giving to the mission, and going into the world—and see how each one fuels the others. And finally, we’ll look at how God Himself models a “sent” posture throughout Scripture and encourages those who may wonder, “Who am I supposed to reach if everyone I know already knows Jesus?” The rhythm doesn’t end when the series does. We are sent.
