Vertical Worship (Ephesians 2:4-10)

About this episode

This episode discusses how we were made alive by grace and encourages listeners to find joy and identity in God rather than in their own achievements.

Paul wrecks our “I did this” mindset: we were spiritually dead, but God made us alive by grace. This episode pushes us to stop living horizontally and become vertical people—finding joy, identity, and meaning in God Himself.
