Saints, Becoming More Than Christians
The Bible uses the word, Christian, to describe followers of Jesus a grand total of three times. But there’s another identifier that fills the pages of the New Testament–a word we’ve mistakenly reserved for the halo-wearing elite, losing something profound in the process. Saints.
Identity, union, searching scripture through the lens of Jesus, and holiness discovered through community, in this podcast, Addison Bevere brilliantly describes that we are beloved saints.
