The Other Six Podcast

In this episode of The Other Six podcast, we explore Colossians 4:2–6 and what it means to put Jesus first in all our conversations. Our words have the power to impact others for both earth and eternity, but living Jesus-first means being intentional about how we communicate. We’ll discuss why speaking for Jesus begins with speaking with Jesus through prayer, how we can encourage one another to make Him known, and why our conversations with the world should always reflect His grace. Whether we’re speaking with God, fellow believers, or those who don’t know Him, our words should point people toward Jesus. Join us as we discover how to make every conversation count.

In this episode of The Other Six we explore what it means to put Jesus first in all our relationships. Jesus isn’t meant to be at the center of just our Sunday worship or personal faith; He should shape every relationship in our lives. From how we love our spouses and raise our children to how we treat others and approach our work, our relationship with Jesus should influence the way we relate to everyone around us. Join us as we unpack what it looks like to let Jesus lead in our marriages, families, and workplaces, recognizing that we cannot truly make Jesus Lord of our lives without making Him Lord over our relationships.

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
