Michael DeFazio (New Testament and Hermeneutics Professor at Ozark Christian College) takes a verse-by verse look at the book of Colossians to celebrate Christ’s supremacy and encourage us to keep walking in Christ. Michael explains the framework to spiritual formation and how family and work relationships are a matter of discipleship. The heart of this study is the reminder that Jesus is enough to save you completely.
