In this episode, Steve Wood reveals how many well-meaning Catholic porn-recovery approaches fall into a dangerous pseudo-spirituality that actually leads to deeper bondage. Using Colossians 2, he explains how “elemental spirits” (stoicheion) and human traditions can masquerade as virtue—especially when programs rely on extreme asceticism, guilt, and harsh self-discipline instead of the power of Christ.

Steve highlights the key passages in Colossians showing that Christ has already forgiven, freed, and triumphed over the spiritual powers. He stresses the crucial warning of Colossians 2:23: severe practices may look wise, but they have no value in overcoming the flesh.

If you or someone you love is seeking real freedom from pornography, this episode will help you discern between programs rooted in Christ’s strength and those that rely on human effort alone.

Listen now to rediscover Christ-centered freedom—and to break from the deceptive spiritual practices that keep so many Catholics stuck in cycles of defeat.

In today's episode, Steve Wood unpacks St. Paul’s warning to the Colossians—how many ancient religions, and even some early Christians, were deceived into worshipping demonic powers.

In this episode of the Faith & Family Bible Study, Steve Wood explores one of the most awe-inspiring truths of the Christian faith: Jesus Christ not only created all things—He continues to sustain and hold the universe together by His divine power.

Drawing from Colossians 1:17, Hebrews 1:3, and Nehemiah 9:6, Steve shows that Christ’s sustaining word keeps every atom, star, and living thing in existence. Through Scripture, Church Fathers, and even modern atomic science, we see that the same power that spoke creation into being now preserves it moment by moment.

What would happen if Christ’s sustaining power ceased, even for an instant? And how should this truth shape the way we live in holiness, hope, and awe of our Savior’s continual presence in creation? Don't miss today's powerful episode.

In this episode of Faith & Family, Steve Wood explores the profound teaching of Colossians 1:15–20, highlighting the preeminence of Christ — the only time this term appears in the New Testament. Jesus holds first place over all creation and over all aspects of redemption, leaving no room for “add-ons” or supplemental wisdom.

Steve breaks down this passage into two parts:

1. Preeminence in Creation (1:15–17) – Christ as the active Creator in whom all things were made and hold together.

2. Preeminence in Redemption (1:18–20) – Christ as head of the Church, reconciler of all things, and the fullness of God dwelling in Him.

Listeners will learn:

• How Paul refutes false teachers by emphasizing Christ’s fullness and supremacy

• The connection between creation (Genesis 1:1, Hebrews 11:3, John 1:1–3, Nehemiah 9:6) and Christ’s role as Redeemer

• Why understanding Christ’s supremacy is essential for forming a strong faith and countering secular teachings like theistic evolution

• Practical insights for helping youth grow in faith and remain rooted in Christ

This episode challenges believers to see Christ as supreme in all things, both visible and invisible, and to ground their faith in Him alone.
