Description

Many Christians say Jesus is the center of their lives, but what if He's not actually at the center of the center? In this episode, we examine what it truly means for Christ to be all and have first place in everything according to Colossians 1:18 and Colossians 3:4-11, and why so many believers unknowingly substitute legalism, religious duty, or fear for genuine Christ-centered living. Drawing from Oswald Chambers' challenge about what we're truly obsessed with, this episode will help you honestly evaluate whether Jesus is your life or merely a part of it—and what to do if you've been turning Him on and off without realizing it. If you're serious about authentic Christian discipleship and want to move beyond surface-level faith to making Jesus truly preeminent, this teaching will challenge you to examine what's really at the core of your spiritual life.Watch this episode as a video on YouTubeCheck out the study notes for this episodeVideo mentioned at the end:Four Ways to Know if Jesus is Your True Obsession and Passion-----------------» Join the Deeper Christian community and receive the Deeper Digest each Saturday, which includes all the quotes, articles, podcasts, and resources from Nathan and Deeper Christian from the week to help you grow spiritually.-----------------Deeper Christian Podcast • Episode 371View the shownotes for this episode and get other Christ-centered teaching and resources at: deeperChristian.com/371
