The New Man | In Heavenly Places E09 [Ty Gibson]

What does it mean to become truly human? In Episode 9 of the In Heavenly Places series, Ty Gibson explores Ephesians 4:17–32 and Paul’s contrast between the old humanity and the new humanity revealed in Christ. Sin distorts how we perceive God, ourselves, and others, shaping both our actions and identity. But in Christ, our minds are renewed, our identity is re-formed, and we are invited to live from the reality of who God says we already are in Him. In Heavenly Places is a 13-episode exploration of Ephesians featuring Ty Gibson, David Asscherick, Jeffrey Rosario, and Angelo Grasso. Recorded live at the 2026 Light Bearers Convocation, the series explores what it means to be redeemed, raised, and seated in Christ in heavenly places. Ephesians reveals a gospel larger than personal salvation: God’s eternal purpose to unite all things in Christ, reconcile humanity, and ultimately bring the whole universe into lasting unity under His love. 00:00 – Introduction: Christ and the new humanity 06:06 – Humanity’s destiny in Christ 12:13 – A new identity changes how we walk 18:18 – Psychological distortion and alienation from God 23:22 – Jesus as the light of the world 28:55 – Why sin is inherently destructive 34:37 – Sin and the law of diminishing returns 40:07 – Renewed in the spirit of the mind 45:40 – Righteousness by faith and our identity in Christ 📥 Study Guide: https://bit.ly/IHP_study_guides 👥 Join the Light Bearers Community: https://bit.ly/LB-Community-FB-Group 🔔 Subscribe & Turn on Notifications: https://www.youtube.com/@Light_Bearers 👉 Support Light Bearers: https://lightbearers.org/give 🎧 Prefer to listen on the go?
