Colossians Chapter 3: Set Your Minds on Things Above

In Episode 3, Greg and Nathan turn from the soaring doctrine to everyday implications in Colossians chapter 3. Because believers have died and been raised with Christ, Paul calls them to set their minds on things above, to put to death earthly passions and put on the new self that reflects Christ, who is all and in all.

What does it really mean to “seek the things that are above” (Colossians 3:1–2)? How do Christians understand having “died” and being “hidden with Christ in God”? And how does sanctification differ from mere moralism or self-help spirituality?

Greg and Nathan explore the grace-driven effort of sanctification, the lifelong “put off / put on” pattern of the Christian life, and how union with Christ transforms everything — from private thought life to public relationships. Paul’s vision is not abstract theology; it reshapes marriage, parenting, work, and the unity of the church.

This episode invites you to see sanctification not as self-improvement, but as Spirit-empowered transformation flowing from union with the risen Lord.
