Put On the Gospel Shoes

Season 9 — Dressing for Battle: Gospel Armor for the Fight of Faith

Episode 6 — Put on the Gospel Shoes

Brian Hedges unfolds the metaphor of the “gospel shoes” drawn from Ephesians 6, showing how being justified by faith grants us peace with God—transforming us from enemies into friends and children of God—which equips believers for evangelism, endurance, and spiritual readiness. He emphasizes that the “shoes” symbolize not merely knowing the gospel, but being motivated and prepared to share it, driven by gospel-shaped motives centered on Christ’s love. Finally, he challenges you to prioritize the gospel in teaching and living—urging a focus on what is of “first importance” so that we are ready to live, suffer, and proclaim for the sake of Christ.
