About this episode

Pastor Nate discusses the transformation that comes from living like you know Jesus, contrasting the old self with the new self and offering practical advice for spiritual growth.

In this message, Pastor Nate explores the profound transformation that occurs when a person chooses to "live like you know Jesus," drawing from the teachings in Ephesians 4:17-24. He contrasts the "old self"—characterized by a futility of mind, spiritual alienation, and a callousness toward sin—with the "new self" that is daily renewed through a personal relationship with Christ. Emphasizing that every person is imperfect and in need of a Savior, Nate explains that a true believer is someone who has been changed, rescued, and forgiven by Jesus. To help listeners bridge the gap between doctrine and daily life, he offers practical "handles" for growth, such as practicing self-awareness, seeking community accountability, and trusting the Holy Spirit to produce progress rather than perfection. This message serves as both a sobering diagnosis of the human condition and a hopeful invitation to be all-in with Jesus, yielding every area of life to His grace.
