"Colossians 2:8 — See to it that no one takes you captive"

from By What Authority · host Raymond Ybarra

In this episode, we confront one of the most dangerous realities in the modern church: the captivity of tradition. Using Jesus’ own words and the apostolic pattern, we uncover how man‑made methods, familiar phrases, and inherited assumptions have buried the gospel beneath comfort and convenience. We walk through the rich young ruler, the disciples’ awakening, the impossibility of human righteousness, and the biblical truth that faith comes only by hearing the Word of Christ. This is not a defense of systems or doctrines — it is a return to Scripture. A return to proclamation. A return to the gospel that produces faith, exposes false assurance, and makes true disciples. If you’ve ever wondered why so many “decisions” never become disciples, this episode will bring clarity, conviction, and freedom.⭐ LISTENER TAKEAWAYThe gospel that saves is the gospel that is heard — not the one tradition has added to, softened, or buried.
