Ep. 13 | Put On the New Self

In this episode of the Rooted Discipleship Podcast, Walker Davis and Chad Gott begin Colossians Chapter 3, exploring Paul’s call for believers to set their minds on things above rather than the temporary things of this world. As Paul reminds the church that they have been raised with Christ, the conversation focuses on what it truly means to die to the old life and live with an eternal perspective. Walker and Chad discuss how Paul’s words challenge believers to refocus their priorities, recognizing that our identity is no longer rooted in earthly success, struggles, or distractions, but is now hidden with Christ in God. They also explore how this truth provides peace in difficult seasons, confidence in uncertainty, and clarity in how Christians should live daily. The discussion also highlights the role of the Holy Spirit in guiding believers, the importance of remembering where God has brought us from, and how understanding God’s grace transforms how we view failure, growth, and spiritual maturity. Through Colossians 3:1–4, the episode emphasizes that while believers still live in the world, their true citizenship is in heaven, and their lives should reflect that eternal reality. This episode encourages listeners to shift their focus from temporary circumstances to eternal hope and to live each day with their minds set on Christ and the life to come.
