EXPLORING EPHESIANS: A Journey of Identity (Chapter 1)

Made to Pray Podcast

In this episode, Karrilee and Lori introduce a six-week series, Exploring Ephesians, where they are going through the book of Ephesians, chapter by chapter. This week is Chapter One and they are focusing on the importance of understanding one's identity in Christ. They discuss the significance of repetition in studying scripture, the role of the Holy Spirit, and the difference between spiritual and earthly blessings. The conversation emphasizes the power of prayer, community, and the need to combat negative thoughts with the truth of God's word. The hosts encourage listeners to reflect on their identity and the promises found in Ephesians Chapter One, while looking forward to Chapter Two.
