Growing In God Podcast Program Number: GIG #280 Categories: Biblical Feasts Web Description: In Romans 12, Paul exhorts us not to be conformed to this world. That is what Hanukkah is all about. It expresses the refusal of the Jewish people to be converted into something that was against the will of God and against the teachings of God. We as believers in Yeshua (Jesus) should have the same resistance to the culture that is set to move us away from the Scriptures, away from our Christian values, and convert us to a different way of life. Hanukkah is not a substitute for Christmas. It is an observance very applicable to Christianity today. Show Notes: Many people think that Hanukkah is just a celebration for Jewish people to compete with Christmas during December. That is not true. Hanukkah existed before the celebration of Christmas and was observed by Yeshua (Jesus). Called the Feast of Dedication, Hanukkah celebrates the rededication of the Temple after the Maccabean Revolt when the Jews recaptured Jerusalem, recaptured the Temple, and purified it from its defilement. At a time when Israel was under the suppression of the Seleucid Empire, Antiochus IV (known as Epiphanes) determined to wipe out all the practices and beliefs of the Jewish people and replace them with Greek paganism. A small band of Jewish men and women who refused to be Hellenized and converted into pagans rose up and fought against the armies of the Greeks and won, taking Jerusalem and cleansing and rededicating the Temple. This spirit is what Hanukkah celebrates. To celebrate Hanukkah is to follow after those who refused to be converted to the paganism of the Greek culture. As Christians we likewise should refuse the demands of today's culture and the pressures of society that would force us to deny our faith and convert us to the paganism of today's world, which is quickly abandoning the Scriptures, abandoning morals, abandoning pure thought, and the right ways of life. We, as believers in Christ, along with the Jewish people, should shine as a light on a hill as those who hold forth the Word of God, the promises of God, and the prophecies to come. Key Verses: • John 10:22–23. "At that time the Feast of the Dedication took place at Jerusalem; it was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple." • Romans 12:1–2. "Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind." • Matthew 5:11–16. "You are the light of the world. … Let your light shine before men." • Matthew 24:22. "Unless those days had been cut short, no life would have been saved." Quotes: • "We are the salt of the earth. We are to be the light. And that is what you can say about those who participated in the Maccabean Revolt that refused to be removed off of their faith." • "We are believers, and we are not to be conformed to this world. We are not to be conformed to its cultures, its beliefs, and its ways of life when they are contrary to God and to His Word." • "Let us rededicate and purify everything that has been touched and destroyed during these days under the attempts of satan to bring about his purpose." Takeaways: 1. Hanukkah reminds us that as believers, we are not to be conformed to this world. We are not to be conformed to its cultures, its beliefs, and its ways of life when they are contrary to God and to His Word. 2. Hanukkah reminds us that we are to be a light to this world—we should shine brightly as a light on a hill. We cannot let our light go out, and we certainly cannot live in fear and intimidation and hide our light under a bushel basket. 3. Hanukkah reminds us that we are the salt of the earth. What we are to do today is to preserve the culture of the Kingdom of God. We are to preserve the ways of God. We are to preserve the love and the Word of God in this day and age. 4. Hanukkah reminds us that we must put our faith into service. Like the ancient Maccabees, we must go in and cleanse the Temple—to rededicate and purify everything that has been touched and destroyed as satan has attempted to bring about his purposes in our world.

How to diagnose whether you're conforming to the culture or being transformed by the renewing of your mind—and what to do next.Today's question is simple and searching: Am I being conformed or transformed? Romans 12:1–2 says real worship is a whole-life offering, a refusal to copy the patterns of this world, and a mind God keeps renewing. We'll look at clear signs of conformity, the fruits of true transformation, and a one-week plan to reset your mind and rhythms—so your faith looks like Tuesday afternoon, not just Sunday morning.Conformed: 5 telltales (quick hits)Hurry > Holiness: pace sets your priorities; prayer is an afterthought.Outrage diet: inputs are mostly news, hot takes, and conflict; peace rarely visits.Comparison economics: spending and posting to keep up, not to serve.Compartment faith: spiritual talk at church; different voice online/at work.Feelings as facts: Scripture adjusts to me instead of me adjusting to Scripture.Transformed: 5 fruitsSurrendered body: schedule, sexuality, appetites under Jesus (a “living sacrifice”).Scripture reflex: first frame is the Word; you test impressions by it.Stable joy/peace: not denial—resilience (Phil 4:7) in real pressure.Non-anxious presence: slower speech, quicker listening, gentler answers.Discernment: growing clarity about “good, acceptable, perfect” will in choices.7-Day Renewal Plan (doable, specific)Day 1 — Reset inputs: 24-hour news/social fast. Read Romans 12 & Colossians 3.Day 2 — Present your body: take a 20-minute walk; pray, “All of me, for all of You.”Day 3 — Renew your mind: memorize Romans 12:1–2; write it on a card/phone.Day 4 — Replace patterns: identify one “worldly pattern” (outrage, cynicism, comparison). Swap it with a kingdom habit (gratitude list, blessing someone, silence).Day 5 — Community check: ask a mature believer, “Where do you see conformity in me?” Receive, don't defend.Day 6 — Generosity rep: give something that costs you—time, money, or spotlight.Day 7 — Discernment hour: device-free hour with Bible + journal: “Lord, what next step proves renewal?” Act on one thing within 48 hours.Your Life airs Tuesdays at 2pm Eastern on Christian 105.7 - WCLN-FM

We're tempted to conform to be liked. Children, teens, adults—we all adjust ourselves to fit the culture around us. Sometimes that helps us build bridges. Sometimes it dilutes who we're meant to be.But Scripture paints a different picture. Romans 12 calls us not to conform to the pattern of the world, but to be transformed. Paul urges believers to bless persecutors, honor others above themselves, and embrace the miraculous core of their faith without apology. Christians throughout history who held tightly to the supernatural—resurrection, incarnation, angels, miracles—became the ones who reshaped the world.This message explores what it means to live, speak, treat others, and believe in ways that make the world pause—ways that make people notice Jesus. Ultimately, it invites us to join the angels of heaven in the only fitting response to a God who defies the spirit of every age: worship.

Romans 8:28-30 — Why does Christianity claim to be the only way of salvation? As Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones preaches this sermon from Romans 8:28-30 titled “Confirmed to Christ,” the gospel is a message of exclusivity that tells of salvation through Christ by His life, death, and resurrection. The teaching that all those who do not believe in the gospel in this life will be judged and condemned in the next is found throughout the Bible. Nevertheless, many fight and resist this teaching on the basis that it is narrow and unloving of God to condemn sinners to an eternity in hell. But, as Dr. Lloyd-Jones reminds the listener, all are in sin and under the condemnation and judgment of God on account of their unrighteousness and rebellion against Him. All have fallen in Adam who was the head of the whole human race. As the head of the new humanity, Christ died and conquered the grave so that all creation would be redeemed and made new. What was lost in Adam will be regained in Christ and more. It is only in Christ that people can become partakers of His blessings and become children of God. There is no salvation outside of Christ. This ought to compel all believers to proclaim the gospel to all who are lost and live in darkness. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/603/29?v=20251111
Conformed to His ImageNovember 23, 2025 • RD McClenagan • Philippians 1:6, Romans 8:28–30This Sunday, R.D. wrapped up our fall series, More Like Him. We are all shaped by what we behold, but God's vision is that we would be conformed to the image of Christ as we fix our eyes on Him. Through the gospel, we are made new and invited into a life where the Spirit grows us in Christlikeness in the ordinary places of our week. God meets us in our fears and patterns, freeing us from the need for approval or control and helping us live from His love and His strength. And the good news is this: the God who began the work in us is the One who will complete it.MORE LIKE HIM RESOURCES: https://fellowshipknox.org/moreWEBSITE: https://fellowshipknox.org/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/fellowshipknox/

In this continuation of Accessing Divine Opportunities, Apostle Kingsley Ajei-Godson teaches on the divine agenda of humanity, emphasizing God's original plan for man to walk in dominion, glory, and honor. Drawing from Psalm 8:4–8 and Ephesians 4, the Apostle explores why God entrusted man—not angels or other beings—with rulership on earth. Humanity was designed to manifest God's nature, exercise authority, and live victoriously through Christ.

In this episode of Ryan & Brian's Bible Bistro, Ryan and Brian explore the concept of "glory" in Paul's writings, building on Brian's paper on 2 Corinthians 4:16-18 and insights from Haley Goranson Jacob's Conformed to the Image of His Son. They dig into the theological depth of doxa (glory) and its implications for Christian life.Key Points:What is Glory? The Greek doxa (glory) and doxazo (to glorify) are central in Paul's writings, especially in 2 Corinthians 3-4. Glory is more than splendor—it's tied to honor, authority, and God's redemptive acts.Old Testament Context: The Hebrew kavod (weight) links glory to reputation or ruling authority (e.g., kings, the temple). God's glory appears in theophanies (burning bush) or redemptive acts.Paul's Framework: Paul echoes Psalm 8 and Genesis 1-3. Humanity was created to rule creation with glory (Psalm 8), but sin led to its loss (Romans 3:23). In Christ, believers are restored to “functional glory” (Romans 8:29-30).Key Texts:Romans 8:18-30: Believers are co-heirs with Christ, glorified to rule in God's kingdom.2 Corinthians 3:18: Transformation into Christ's image with ever-increasing glory.Daniel 7:9-14: The Son of Man receives glory and authority.Romans 1:21-23: Humanity exchanged God's glory for idols.Implications: Glorification is both now (living out God's kingdom) and future (consummated at Christ's return). Believers reflect Christ's cruciform glory through service (Philippians 2).Why Listen? This concise yet rich discussion unravels Paul's theology of glory, connecting Old Testament roots to Christian calling. Perfect for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of Scripture.Support Us:Visit thebiblebistro.com to listen, share, or donate.Leave a review on Apple Podcasts or like to boost our reach.Share with friends to spread the conversation.

Conformed to Christ aims to engage the mind, affect the heart, and call people to follow Christ. Additionally, our aim is to introduce and explain passages of Scripture and difficult theological doctrines in a down-to-earth and easy-to-grasp manner. Theology and the Bible should impact your life, and our goal is that we might play a small part in seeing that happen. Conformed to Christ is a ministry of Christ's Fellowship Church. https://cfclawton.org/ ***Be sure to subscribe on YouTube, iTunes, Google Podcasts, Spotify, Podbean, and Amazon Music Youtube: https://youtube.com/channel/UCgQBeT-Mj1CmngPdhZyWybQ iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/conformed-to-christ/id1503247486 Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkLnBvZGJlYW4uY29tL2NvbmZvcm1lZHRvY2hyaXN0L2ZlZWQueG1s Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5YruCZu4hla6Ll3rBu7UPY

Transformed, Not Conformed (Romans 12:1-2) by Josiah Graves
In this vulnerable episode of the Mind Bully Podcast, Norense Odiase records from Calgary, Canada, in the middle of family weddings, memorials, and moments of grief. Just a month after losing his sister and preparing for his grandmother's burial, he reflects on what it means to show up in life even when you don't feel like it.Norense opens up about the tension of joy and sorrow—celebrating his cousin's marriage while mourning the milestones his sister will never experience. Through honest storytelling, he explores how grief, negative thoughts, and spiritual battles try to silence us, and how God calls us to serve through the suffering instead of being defined by it.This is not a polished, perfect message. It's a raw look at faith, perseverance, and the discipline of aligning your life with God's purpose—even when emotions and circumstances say otherwise.Why you're not your negative thoughtsThe power of showing up and serving in hard seasonsHow to discern God's voice vs. the enemy's liesWhy grief doesn't disqualify you from purposePractical ways to anchor yourself in Scripture and peaceRomans 8:29 – Conformed to the image of His SonPhilippians 3:13–14 – Pressing toward the markPsalm 42 – “Why, my soul, are you downcast?”Matthew 4:4 – Man shall not live by bread aloneSpotify: Mind Bully PodcastApple: Mind Bully Podcast
