You can't teach a dead dog new tricks

Scripture: For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin — Romans 6:6

Quick Thought: You weren’t called to die daily. You were called to live fully.

Too many believers are still dragging around a version of themselves that Jesus already crucified.

The cross wasn’t a process. It was a finished work.

And if you’re still trying to fix your “old self” — You might be living from the wrong side of the cross.

In this podcast episode, we talk about how to stop striving, stop rehearsing the battle - and actually walk in resurrection-powered identity.

Because the bad dog? He’s dead.
