Fear grips our world—fear of scarcity, fear for our children, fear of failure, even fear used by politics, media, and religion.

What do you really want in life?

In a world filled with skepticism, suspicion, and competing voices, the Apostle Paul’s warning to the Colossians still rings true: “See to it that no one takes you captive.” We often wrestle with doubts about our own worth, question the motives of others, and face philosophies that promise more than they deliver. Yet Paul reminds us of two timeless…
