One of the simplest and most important instructions in the Bible...

...is also one of the hardest.

It's to LOVE.

How can you practice love in tangible ways—when sometimes, if you're honest, you find your heart more inclined toward irritation... and even hatred?

Listen in as David, Adam, Corina, and Rachel dive into 1 John 2:7-17, and discover...

• How love is to be a hallmark of your Christian life
• How you can love even though your flesh's tendency may be to hate
• What you are NOT to love

Dive in and see how love totally transforms everything about how you relate to other believers, and to the world.

What does it mean to walk in the light?

And what do we do with the reality of our sin?

In this first episode of Season 4, we begin our study of 1 John by exploring the contrast between light and darkness and the hope we have in Jesus.

David, Adam, Rachel, and Corina walk through 1 John 1:1–2:6 and explore:

• How John describes his firsthand experience with Jesus
• Why truth matters in the face of false teaching
• What Scripture teaches about light and darkness
• Why we cannot claim to be without sin
• How can you let the light of Christ change the way you respond to your own sin
• What it practically looks like to walk in the light

Walk in the light, where grace and truth meet.

Scripture Passages and Verses Referenced: 1 John 1:1–2:6; John 14:15–21.

Your identity as a believer is found in being a disciple of Christ. But what does that actually look like in a Christian's day-to-day life?

Colossians 3 tells believers (disciples) to "put on" Christ… to "set your mind" on Christ. But what does that actually mean?

How can you walk in close relationship with Him as His disciple?

In this special bonus episode to close out our Sacred Rhythms series, join Adam, David, Rachel, and guest Angi Tufnell, who holds a Doctor of Ministry specializing in 21st century discipleship.

Come along with us as we dig into Colossians 3:1–17 and discuss practical ways to live out your faith as a follower of Christ.

You'll discover:

• How to rest in your identity in Christ as you set your mind on Him
• How to pursue spiritual growth and obey Jesus' commands—without feeling crushed by the weight of sin
• How to flourish in your relationship with Christ and others

Experience the beautiful freedom of denying yourself… and following Him.
