633 // Obedience to Jesus: The Key to Endurance, Spiritual Growth, and True Freedom [Bible Study and Devotional]
Description
Hey Sis! 🎙️
Today’s episode is a gentle reminder of how intentionally turning our hearts toward gratitude changes what we see, how we think, and how we walk with God. We’re continuing our study through Colossians 3:12 –17, reflecting on what it means to “put on love,” to let the peace of Christ act as the umpire of our hearts, and to practice thankfulness in every space God places us. This passage brings us back to the core of Jesus’ greatest commandment — loving God with our whole selves and letting that love overflow into every relationship, every response, and every moment we inhabit.
We’re also walking through Day 8 of our devotional, Freedom in Christ by Pastor Charles Stanley, leaning into Jesus’ parable of the wise and foolish builders and the invitation to build our lives on a foundation that lasts. Today’s reflection is all about the long view — choosing obedience now, embracing the daily practices that strengthen our spiritual footing, and trusting that the sacrifices we make in pursuit of Christ anchor us when the storms come. If you’ve ever wondered whether the small, quiet moments of showing up with God are really making a difference, this episode will build your faith and remind you that obedience today is preparing you for endurance and freedom tomorrow.
