Episode 5

Greater Things | Rule of Life

Published on: 13th November, 2025

This season on the Next Steps Podcast, hosts Chris Kopp and Tiffany Malloy go deeper into Greater Things, our series on Colossians. Together, they’ll explore what true spiritual growth looks like and how God invites us into greater things through Christ.

In these final Greater Things episodes, Tiffany and Chris introduce a simple “rule of life,” a helpful way to build intentional rhythms that create space for God to shape us. It’s a practical, grace-filled look at how spiritual practices help us grow with Jesus in everyday life.

Questions to think about this week:

  1. What kind of person do I sense God inviting me to become? What does looking more like Jesus mean for me personally?
  2. What practices, relationships, and environments help me stay rooted in God’s love?
  3. Does my time, attention, and commitments align with both the vision of who God’s inviting me to become as well as the things that help to stay connected to Jesus and His love?
  4. If not, is the Rule of Life something you want to try for this next season? Prayerfully ask God to help you discern!

About the Podcast

Blackhawk Church Next Steps
Welcome to Next Steps, a podcast from Blackhawk Church in Madison, WI. We believe that following Jesus is a lifelong journey, so no matter where you’re at, there’s always a next step to take. Each episode we’ll create space for real conversations—about the questions we wrestle with, the challenges we face, and the hope we find in Jesus. Our goal isn’t to have it all perfectly figured out, but to walk faithfully towards Jesus together.
