God’s Invitation To Life

Episode 8

In Episode 8 of the We Are Recreated Podcast JM & Kim share a selection of verses that talk about being “In Christ” or “In Him.” Did you know these phrases are used well over 100 times in the new testament? Maybe God has something important to tell us about new life in Jesus… Maybe this is God’s invitation to life!

A note from John Matthew & Kim

Welcome to The We Are Recreated Podcast! We're John Matthew and Kim, and we're beyond thrilled that you've found your way here!

We've been on this wild and beautiful journey with Jesus for quite some time now. Having grown up in the Church and dedicating more than 15 years to full-time ministry, our hearts beat for one thing: sharing the incredibly great news of the gospel. In Jesus we find forgiveness of sins because He died, and new life because He rose again and lives forever!

The circumstances and waves of life are sometimes heavy and hard. We all need hope, and we need power for living! That's why we dive deep into two of life's most significant questions on our podcast: Who is God, really? And what kind of new identity and Holy-Spirit-empowered life does Jesus offer us through the cross?

This podcast is our way of reaching out to you. We want you to know and experience the supernatural, abundant life that God promises in the Word. So, our goal here is simple yet profound: we want to walk alongside you, sharing insights and experiences that encourage and strengthen you on your own faith journey. We're not about just theory or theology (although solid theology is really important, too!); we're about practical, life-changing truths found in the Bible. Think of this podcast as a conversation between friends, exploring the depths of spirituality and the immense love God has for us. Our hope is that through these conversations, you'll discover a renewed sense of purpose and a clearer understanding of who God is and who you are in Christ.

So grab a seat, tune in, and let's dive into this incredible adventure together. You're not alone—we're here, ready to explore, learn, and grow alongside you.
