Happy New Year Podcastees!
In today’s episode we want to talk about what it means to be chosen. We are pulling this straight out of our missions verse:
Colossians 3:12: Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.
We want to live out of that chosenness God has declared over us but sometimes it can be so difficult and discouraging when rejection is everywhere in our lives.
With that in mind, you can listen to the podcast in a few different ways. You can search "The Three Twelve Podcast" on your iTunes Podcast app. Or you can go ahead and click on "Podcast" up in our menu and go straight there! You can also find us on anchor.fm if you are not an iTunes user. Don't forget to subscribe and leave a review, your comments mean the world to both of us!
