Hey friends, this week I am joined by Barb Hollace and Adriano from Be Ready Ministries to discuss Ephesians 1. They talk about the meaning of being chosen and blessed in Christ, the importance of recognizing and accessing spiritual blessings, and the impact of knowing that we are children of God. They emphasize the need to be rooted in our identity in Christ and to live out our purpose and gifts to bring glory to God. In this conversation, Adriano Ferraro and Barb Hollace discuss the importance of walking in our identity in Christ and being rooted in His love. They emphasize that it is not about our own efforts, but about receiving God's grace and living as His chosen children. They share personal stories of discovering their identity in Christ and how it has transformed their lives. They also talk about using their gifts and talents to glorify God and reach others for Christ. The conversation concludes with a discussion on the practical ways to remind ourselves daily that we are chosen and blessed by God.
