The Death of the Old Self

from The Towel and Basin Society · host Ikera and Rj

The Christian life is not about becoming a better version of who you were. It is about becoming an entirely new creation in Christ.In this episode, we dive into the biblical reality of putting off the old man—the habits, mindsets, desires, wounds, and identities that belonged to our life before full surrender to Jesus. Too often we ask God to bless what He has called us to bury. Yet freedom begins where surrender starts.Together, we explore what it means to be crucified with Christ, renewed in the spirit of our minds, and transformed into His image day by day. This conversation challenges us to release pride, bitterness, fear, self-reliance, and every counterfeit identity so that the life of Christ can be fully revealed in us.The old self fights for survival.The new creation lives by surrender.If there is to be resurrection power in our lives, there must first be a funeral.Join us as we discuss the beauty, cost, and necessity of dying to ourselves so that Christ may be glorified through us.
