Colossians #1 An Intro to the NT's Greatest(?) Letter: the Colossian Heresy

THIS EPISODE

In this episode, Rob and Vinnie kick off their journey through Paul’s letter to the church in Colossae. They explore the striking similarities between Colossians and Ephesians and discuss the possible reasons behind this overlap. Together, they ask, “Where exactly was Colossae?” and “Why does its location matter for interpreting this letter?”

The episode also delves into the so-called “Colossian heresy”—a mysterious blend of religious influences that Paul confronts head-on. What was it? Why did it matter then? And what does it mean for us now?

Colossians is a short but theologically rich letter that lifts up the cosmic supremacy of Christ and challenges believers to live lives shaped by that reality. Understanding this letter isn’t just an academic exercise—it’s a call to reimagine what it means to be the church in a world full of competing powers.
