Fr. Joseph Illo joins Patrick to discuss Holiness in your State of Life (4:17) who was Saint Francis de Sales? Introduction to the devout life, How can you be holy in the world? (18:26) Break 1 What are ways lay people can become holy? How does God multiply your time when you devote some to him? (34:34) Norb - Suggestion to multitask with prayer. That's what I do. Robin - I joined the Guard of the Sacred Heart. I get up and whatever hour it is, I will go through that process. I say the precious blood devotion, and after that, I go to the Legion of Mary, Rosary, and I do my best to go to Mass/adoration. (38:40) Break 2 How is holiness a work of God first? (43:00) Maria - My experience...we all struggle with prayer time. I humble myself and ask the Lord to organize my prayer time. (46:11) Robert - St. Francis De Sales....been reading that over and over for years. What I still struggle with...what is my state in life? What does that mean and how does it correspond to my time in prayer? I feel like I'm always robbing my work and myself by studying an hour. The four books which Father Illo recommends everyone reads.

35 Let your loins be girt, and lamps burning in your hands.Sint lumbi vestri praecincti, et lucernae ardentes in manibus vestris, 36 And you yourselves like to men who wait for their lord, when he shall return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open to him immediately.et vos similes hominibus exspectantibus dominum suum quando revertatur a nuptiis : ut, cum venerit et pulsaverit, confestim aperiant ei. 37 Blessed are those servants, whom the Lord when he cometh, shall find watching. Amen I say to you, that he will gird himself, and make them sit down to meat, and passing will minister unto them.Beati servi illi quos, cum venerit dominus, invenerit vigilantes : amen dico vobis, quod praecinget se, et faciet illos discumbere, et transiens ministrabit illis. 38 And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.Et si venerit in secunda vigilia, et si in tertia vigilia venerit, et ita invenerit, beati sunt servi illi. 39 But this know ye, that if the householder did know at what hour the thief would come, he would surely watch, and would not suffer his house to be broken open.Hoc autem scitote, quoniam si sciret paterfamilias, qua hora fur veniret, vigilaret utique, et non sineret perfodi domum suam. 40 Be you then also ready: for at what hour you think not, the Son of man will come.Et vos estote parati : quia qua hora non putatis, Filius hominis veniet.St Raymond, eminent minister of the sacrament of Penance, was a priest of the Order of St Dominic, celebrated for his virtues, his miracles and his writings on Canon Law. He died A.D. 1275.Here are some concrete ways we can be more like him today:St. Raymond was a master of canon law, but he didn't use knowledge to dominate others. He used it to clarify, protect, and heal.Seek truth seriously (study, listen, think deeply).Speak truth with charity, not harshness.Use knowledge to serve people, especially when they're confused or vulnerable.Ask yourself: Does my understanding help others find peace and justice?As a confessor and advisor, Raymond emphasized compassion—especially for sinners trying to return to God.Be patient with people's struggles.Make forgiveness easier, not harder.Assume good will before judging motives.He reminds us that law and rules exist for the salvation of souls, not the other way around.Despite his brilliance, Raymond lived simply and accepted responsibilities only when needed.Do the work in front of you well, even if it's unnoticed.Avoid chasing recognition.Say yes to service when it's asked of you in love and obedience.Holiness for him wasn't dramatic—it was steady.St. Raymond advised kings and helped confront moral failures at the highest levels of power.Be willing to speak up when something is wrong.Do so respectfully, without pride or anger.Stand with those harmed by injustice.Truth without courage stays silent; courage without humility becomes harsh. He held both.His effectiveness flowed from a deep spiritual life.Make space for prayer, even when busy.Let prayer shape how you think and act.Ask God for wisdom more than success.1. Love truth, and handle it carefully2. Put mercy at the center3. Serve quietly and faithfully4. Courageously seek justice5. Stay grounded in prayer

“Holiness at the Table: Discernment Through Repetition”Teachers: Kerry & Karen BattleAhava ~ Love AssemblyThis Torah class continues our verse-by-verse instruction through the book of Leviticus and addresses covenant obedience at its most daily and unavoidable level: what enters the body of Yisra'el.Leviticus 11 is not symbolic.It is not cultural.It is not optional.This chapter establishes Yahuah's distinctions between clean and unclean and trains Israel in discipline, restraint, and self-governance through repeated obedience. Holiness here is not emotional or dramatic. It is practiced, measurable, and enforced through daily conduct.This lesson is taught verse-by-verse, precept upon precept, using a judicial structure that keeps authority in the text and removes negotiation.This is not dietary preference.This is covenant law.WHAT WE COVER IN THIS MESSAGE1. Authority Over AppetiteLeviticus 11:1–2Yahuah speaks to Moses and Aaron and commands them to instruct all Israel. Eating is placed under covenant authority. No one is exempt. Obedience at the table becomes a national responsibility, not a personal choice.2. Distinction by Defined StandardsLeviticus 11:3–8Clean land animals must meet two conditions. Partial qualification does not count. Yahuah names animals that appear close to clean in order to eliminate rationalization. Near-obedience is rejected.3. Environment Does Not Change ObedienceLeviticus 11:9–12Water creatures are governed by the same clarity. Fins and scales are required. Context does not override command. Location never excuses deviation.4. Nature MattersLeviticus 11:13–19Predatory and scavenger birds are forbidden by name. Israel is prohibited from consuming what feeds on death. Diet is tied to covenant character.5. Exceptions Require CommandLeviticus 11:20–23Winged swarming things are largely forbidden, with specific named exceptions. Permission does not come from usefulness or tradition. Silence from Torah is not approval.6. Defilement Without ConsumptionLeviticus 11:24–28Uncleanness is transmitted through contact. Defilement does not require intent or appetite. Obedience includes restraint and acceptance of interruption.7. Absolute ProhibitionsLeviticus 11:29–31Creeping and ground-dwelling creatures are unclean entirely. No justification is given because none is required. Familiarity does not cleanse.8. Household TransmissionLeviticus 11:32–35Objects, tools, and shared spaces can become unclean. Obedience is not private. One person's choices affect the household.9. Discernment Without PanicLeviticus 11:36–38Torah distinguishes between contamination and destruction. Clean sources remain clean. Israel is trained to discern, not overcorrect.10. Circumstance Alters PermissionLeviticus 11:39–40Even clean animals produce uncleanness when death is involved. What is permitted can become forbidden by condition.11. Self-Governance Under TorahLeviticus 11:41–43Negligence is treated as defilement. Israel is commanded not to make themselves detestable. Discipline must be internal.12. Purpose of the LawLeviticus 11:44–47Yahuah ties dietary obedience to holiness and identity. Distinction preserves covenant order. Discernment is the goal.WHY THIS MESSAGE MATTERSDaily obedience reveals authorityDistinction preserves holinessRepetition forms disciplineNegligence defilesHouseholds transmit obedience or disorderSelf-governance is required under covenant lawLeviticus 11 teaches that holiness is not proven in moments of crisis, but in ordinary, repeated obedience.SCRIPTURE REFERENCES FOR STUDYLeviticus 11Leviticus 20Deuteronomy 14Isaiah 65–66Ezekiel 4Ezekiel 44Malachi 1–2Every section is taught precept upon precept.ABOUT AHAVA ~ LOVE ASSEMBLYWe teach the Pure Word of Yahuah.No religion.No tradition.No compromise.

Today, we kick off a new year on The Art of Holiness with a conversation amongst ourselves* about evangelism. These seminary students did a FABULOUS job thinking through what it means to evangelize in the 21st century, and their conversation will be the first of several this semester on the topic. Glad to be back, and glad you're back with us. * This semester, "us" includes Brandy Lee and Katherine Reiley. Our good friend, Taylor Williams, has concluded her time on AoH. We will miss having her solid voice among us, but thank God for all the good he is generating in her life.

January 18, 2025The standard of living for a Christian is holiness, a life set apart from sinful ways, devoted and obedient to God. Holiness is the primary theme of 1 Peter 1:13-2:10. A holy life begins with a mindset, a made-up mind that is determined to reject ungodly ways and pursue God's best in all circumstances.1 Peter 1:13-21

This episode explores the biblical concept of the “secret place,” emphasizing intentional solitude and prayer as the primary arena where identity as sons and daughters of God is formed, drawing from Matthew 6 and Psalms to show that true spiritual transformation does not happen in public, but in hidden communion with the Father. The speaker contrasts modern culture's fixation on noise, self‑promotion, emotional validation, and constant stimulation with God's invitation to silence, obedience, and submission, teaching that the secret place is not for self‑care or emotional relief, but for dying to self and becoming like Christ. Through personal stories, Scripture, historical Christian voices, and psychological research, the episode argues that freedom from fear, clarity of calling, and spiritual authority are birthed through faithful, disciplined time alone with God, where trust is built, idols are dismantled, and God's will takes precedence over personal feelings or ambition
What does daily repentance look like for the believer? From slave trader to pastor and hymn writer, John Newton's life shows us that repentance isn't just for salvation, but for sanctification. After his dramatic conversion, Newton continued turning from sin and growing in Christ being transformed by grace. His life of ongoing repentance reminds us that we are great sinners but Christ is a greater Savior.

In this episode, Ryan and Stephanie Swanson address one of the most common and emotionally charged questions surrounding homosexuality: “Was I born this way?” Drawing from Scripture, personal counseling experience, and an anonymous testimony, they explain why this question often becomes a stumbling block rather than a starting point for truth. The episode emphasizes the role of thought life, cultural influence, and “vain imaginations” in shaping identity, while pointing listeners back to God's created order and the freedom found in aligning our thinking with His truth.Topics DiscussedWhy the “born this way” question often derails meaningful gospel conversationsThe influence of environment, culture, and suggestion on identity formationAn anonymous testimony illustrating how wrong thinking can take root at pivotal momentsSocial media, affirmation culture, and the normalization of identity confusionBiblical analysis of vain imaginations from 2 Corinthians 10 and Romans 1The danger of “considering” thoughts that contradict God's revealed truthPractical counsel for rejecting intrusive or accusatory thoughtsGod's design for men and women and the simplicity of His created orderKey TakeawaysYou are not obligated to consider thoughts that contradict what God has already made clearIdentity confusion often begins with unchecked imagination rather than conscious rebellionCultural affirmation does not equal moral truthScripture calls believers to actively cast down thoughts that oppose the knowledge of GodFreedom begins by agreeing with God, not endlessly analyzing feelingsVictory over deceptive thoughts starts early, before consideration turns into acceptanceReady to download the Cord App?

Perhaps we are so afraid of grief because we have forgotten how vast we humans are and can be. When we forget this, we mistake ourselves for a tiny receptacle, unable to imagine that we can meet life as it is. And then how little we let in, and how frightened we get of feeling the immensity both of our sadness and of the wonder of being here. In this episode we consider what it is to let ourselves widen, to relax our defendedness and our clinging-on so we can find ourselves in the sacredness that is both love and grief together, and meet one another - and life - there.This week's Turning Towards Life is hosted as always by Lizzie Winn and Justin Wise of Thirdspace.Episode Overview00:00 Introduction and Overview02:20 The Source of Inspiration: Mark Nepo's Poem06:47 Exploring Love and Grief12:31 The Interconnection of Emotions18:41 The Holiness of Life and Death24:57 Embracing the Fragility of Existence30:29 The Invitation to Expand Our Hearts37:47 Conclusion and ReflectionThis is Turning Towards Life, a weekly live 30 minute conversation hosted by Thirdspace in which Justin Wise and Lizzie Winn dive deep into big questions of human living.

Genjo Marinello Osho gave this Teisho during the first day of Winter Odayaka Sesshin, 2026, at Chobo-Ji. This talk explores how to find perfect freedom in the midst of adversity or prosperity.
The only way to find real love, joy and peace is to live a life of holiness. Christ makes it possible by His gift of salvation but we must choose to act in love by the indwelling power of Holy Spirit that we've been given upon salvation. Share. Make it a great day in the Love & Lordship of Christ (Romans 8:6)!

Holiness isn't trendy. It isn't popular. And in 2026, it definitely isn't what culture is cheering for but it is what the Bible still calls us to.In this episode, we're getting real about what the Bible actually says about salvation, transformation, and living a life that honors God. We're unpacking why Scripture tells us that our hearts are strengthened by grace, not weakened by it. Why Romans reminds us that salvation is a free gift when we confess Jesus as Lord. And why belief always comes first - before behavior, before change, before growth.We're also talking about how Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever… even when culture keeps shifting the standards. And why some things don't need to be “worked through” they need to be walked away from. This is your reminder that holiness isn't outdated. Conviction isn't cruel. And obedience isn't bondage - it's freedom.In 2026, we're not dragging old habits, old mindsets, or old compromises with us. This is for the ones who love Jesus but feel the tension of living differently. For the ones tired of bending truth to fit culture. For the ones ready to stop negotiating with conviction.Belief comes first. Transformation follows. And holiness isn't outdated, it's true freedom.Go to https://betterhelp.com/hopemoquin for 10% off your first month of therapy with BetterHelp and get matched with a therapist who will listen and help #sponsoredBook a call - https://stan.store/hopemoquinINSTAGRAM- www.instagram.com/hopemoquinTIKTOK - https://www.tiktok.com/@hopemoquin
Do we really have a good heart? John and Allen take a fresh look at this question and the significant ramifications of how we answer it in the start of this foundational series. Many Christians still believe—and live under the false burden—that their hearts are desperately wicked. God, however, promises to set a new heart within us (Luke 15:8), and Jesus spoke of those with a “good and noble heart” (Luke 15:8). Discover the reality and the utter relief of the Good Heart in every area of life, including our self-image, relationships, calling, and walk with God.Show Notes:Find more information on Wild at Heart's March 2026 Netherlands event at WildAtHeart.org/Netherlands.

What does it mean to truly abide in Christ? Hudson Taylor's life answers this through his deep reliance on Jesus. Once striving in his own strength, Taylor came to realize that fruitfulness flows only from resting in Christ. His life bore lasting impact as he founded the China Inland Mission and helped bring the gospel to thousands. His story reminds us that the Christian life is not about what we do for Christ, but what He does through us as we abide in Him.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Monday morning, the 12th of January, 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We go to that very well-known scripture in the Book of Isaiah 40:31:”But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.” Now, I saw a commentary by that wonderful old Scottish preacher, who was blind. His name was George Matheson. You know they loved that man so much that when he died, they filled his grave with red roses. They really loved him, a true man of God. He said, and I want to try and paraphrase this for you, ”Flight, running, belongs to the young soul. It is the romance of Christianity. To run without weariness belongs to the lofty, the strong and healthy one. It is the beauty of serving the Lord, but to walk and not to faint - oh, that belongs to the perfect soul.' He says, ”It is the power of Christianity.' He says, ”Can you walk…” he's asking you and me,” …can you walk in white through the stained thoroughfares of men? Can you touch the vile and polluted ones of the earth and still retain garments pure and white? Can you meet in contact with the sinful and be yourself undefiled? If you can then you have surpassed the flight of the eagle.”Isn't that so true? We need to walk in holiness. We need to mix with the poorest of the poor, the vilest of the vile but yet not let our garments become stained. We cannot try to help people nd secretly we are living a life of sin. We cannot be involved with things like pornography and adultery, and still stand up on Sunday and tell people about Jesus Christ. You can't do that. We cannot be hypocrites. We are in the world, but we are not part of the world.So we don't seclude ourselves, not at all. We roll up our sleeves and we get stuck in. We help the helpless and we love the poor and the homeless, and we spend time with those who people have rejected, but we do not change our standpoint and we do not change our lifestyle.Jesus bless you today as you walk through the stained thoroughfares of mankind.Jesus bless you and goodbye.

New on Fringe Radio Network for 2026 is the latest offering from Chris White: Vine Abiders.Chris White is an American filmmaker, author, and podcaster known for his work in Christian theology, apologetics, and biblical studies. He hosts the Bible Prophecy Talk podcast, focusing on end times news and theology and more recently, the Vine Abiders Podcast, in which he explores themes in Holiness, Wesleyan traditions and Early Church teachings. White directed the 2024 documentary film Once Saved Always Saved?, a thought-provoking examination of the doctrine of eternal security in Christianity. His broader contributions include missionary work in Africa, lecturing on topics like the occult, New Age beliefs, biblical prophecy and ancient astronaut theories.Notes:Welcome back to the Vine Abiders study. We are continuing our walk through the Sermon on the Mount. Last week, we began looking at Jesus' “new commandments” in Matthew 5:21–22, where He equates anger with murder. This week, we move into verses 23–26, which are still about anger, but focus more on its consequences.This is a public episode.

In this stirring new season of the Commands of Christ Podcast, we move from principle to practice—tracing the commands of Jesus through the lives of men and women who lived them out with passion, humility, and dependence on Him. Christ's Commands in Action invites us into the stories of ordinary individuals throughout church history who, by God's grace, lived extraordinary lives marked by obedience to the Word of Christ. From well-known names like Hudson Taylor and George Müller to lesser-known saints whose quiet faith shaped generations, each biographical sketch highlights a specific command of Jesus, showing what it looks like to put His Word into action. More than historical recollection, this season is a call to follow Christ as others have before us—not by exalting people, but by glorifying the power and presence of God working through flawed, but faithful vessels. These testimonies build our faith, exalt the risen Christ, and offer practical encouragement for how we too can walk as His disciples today. As we explore a new life each week, we'll be reminded that the same Christ who empowered them is alive in us—and that His commands are not just to be studied, but lived.
Series: Encounter GodWeek 1 Title: Encounter GodPrimary Scriptures: Exodus 3; John 4Big Idea:One true encounter with God can change everything.I. Humanity's Search for GodThroughout history, people have chased sacred places and spiritual experiences.The assumption: if we get to the right place, God will meet us there.Jesus challenges this idea—God is Spirit and seeks worshipers in spirit and truth.II. God Meets Us in Ordinary PlacesMoses encounters God not in a temple, but in the wilderness.He's not seeking God—he's hiding, discouraged, and carrying shame.God often meets us when we least expect it and least feel worthy.III. Encounter Begins with AttentionMoses notices the burning bush and turns aside.Encounter starts when we slow down, notice, and lean in.God's presence turns ordinary ground into holy ground.IV. Encounter Produces HumilityMoses removes his sandals—acknowledging God's holiness.God's presence exposes our limitations and strips away self-reliance.Holiness flows from God's presence, not human performance.V. Encounter Always Leads to CallingGod reveals His presence and immediately invites Moses into His mission.Every true encounter with God includes an assignment.God doesn't call the qualified—He qualifies the called.VI. Presence Becomes the PriorityMoses eventually reaches a place where God's presence matters more than success.“If Your presence does not go with us, do not send us.”God's presence moves from being the means to the mission to the meaning of life.Closing ThoughtEncountering God changes what we want, how we live, and who we trust.God isn't distant. He's near—and He's inviting you to encounter Him.
