Today's First Steps Episode 2 Putting Off the Old Man- A Deeper Call To Relationship
🎙️ Episode 2: Putting Off the Old Man – A Deeper Call to Relationship
In this heartfelt continuation from Ephesians 4:22, Brother John Meador invites us to reflect on the transformation that begins when we “put off the former conversation”—our old behavior—and allow the Spirit of God to renew us from within.
Whether your experience with Christ was quiet or profound, this episode reminds us that salvation is only the beginning. True relationship with Jesus requires a daily yielding, a desire to press deeper, and a willingness to let go of the works of the flesh.
