Episode Synopsis

This powerful message invites us to examine the foundation of our spiritual identity by asking a profound question: Who are you? Drawing from 2 Corinthians 5:17 and Colossians 2:4-8, we're reminded that when we accept Christ, we become new creations—old things pass away and all things become new. But this transformation is just the beginning. Like a tree that must be planted, watered, and established to grow strong, our faith requires intentional cultivation. The Apostle Paul's warning to the Colossian church resonates powerfully today: beware of being deceived by persuasive words, empty philosophy, and worldly traditions that try to uproot us from Christ. We live in an age where countless voices tell us who we should be, what we should believe, and how we should live. Social media, cultural pressures, and even well-meaning people can plant seeds of doubt, inadequacy, or false identity in our lives. The antidote is to stay rooted and established in Christ—not just hearing His word on Sundays, but watering ourselves daily through Scripture, worship, and relationship with Him. When we understand that we are children of God, justified, redeemed, seated in heavenly places, and more than conquerors, we develop roots so deep that no storm can shake us. The question isn't just who we are, but what we're rooted in—and that foundation must be Christ alone.
