Metamorphosis

What if following Jesus isn't about becoming a better version of yourself, but becoming something entirely new? In the final episode of this Life in the Word series, Greg and Nathan expand on Sunday's sermon, Renewing the Mind, by unpacking Paul's powerful language in Romans 12:2. The word translated "transformed" is metamorphousthe, the word behind metamorphosis. It's not cosmetic change or behavior management; it's an inside-out transformation brought about as we give ourselves to God's Word and the work of the Spirit. Greg and Nathan explore what it means to be transformed rather than conformed, how what we continually behold shapes us, and why renewing our minds ultimately leads to renewed lives. As they wrap up the series, they ask one final question: What are you beholding, and what is it making you?
