Ep. 61 - Ephesians - Chapter 4

Adorned Podcast

On episode 61 of the Adorned Podcast we dive into chapter 4 of Ephesians. This is where we see the shift from Paul describing what the gospel is to how we are to live in light of it’s truth. He gives us some great practical advice for how to do this. The theme of unity continues throughout this chapter and we are also reminded of the importance of sound doctrine. Join us as we continue to walk through Ephesians together!
