In this episode of Faith & Family Bible Study, Steve Wood introduces the Epistle to the Colossians—one of St. Paul’s most powerful letters, written around 60 AD while he was imprisoned in Rome. Though addressed to the early Church in Colossae, this letter speaks directly to challenges Catholics face today: spiritual warfare, dangerous “Jesus+” spiritualities, habits and sins we struggle to overcome, and the foundation of a truly Catholic worldview.
Discover why Colossians contains one of the most profound descriptions of who Jesus is in all of Scripture and how Paul’s teaching on eschatology and faith in Christ can anchor us in confusing times. Learn about Epaphras—the unsung evangelist who helped plant the Church in Colossae, Laodicea, and Hierapolis without the modern resources we rely on today—and what his example means for evangelization now.
Whether you’re leading a parish Bible study, a college group, or diving deeper into Scripture on your own, this introduction will inspire you to see Colossians not just as history, but as a living word for your own walk with Christ.
