About this episode

The episode discusses the significance of baptism and how it shapes our identity in the context of culture and spirituality.

Most of us think of baptism as a one-time event — something that happened to us, not something we actually live from. But there's another baptism happening constantly, one almost none of us notice. The culture around us is forming our identity every single day — shaping what we believe about our worth, our value, and what we're for. In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we're going to talk with author and pastor Eric Peterson about the staggering power of Christian baptism — what it was really declaring over your life, and how living from that identity changes everything about how you show up every single day. In This Episode You’ll Learn: - How culture is constantly "baptizing" us into a DO=BE identity – exhausting us - Why Christian baptism is a declaration about who you already are - How the Church has lost the full power and significance of what baptism is about - A simple daily practice to help you live from your trinitarian identity
