In this episode of The Leader's Notebook (Ep. 314), I explore one of the most profound truths in Scripture—holiness. From Exodus 3:13–14 and Leviticus 19:1–2, we see that God is “I Am”—always Himself, always holy, always loving. Holiness is not a burden but the good news: it's the life of God within us, guiding us past sin, shaping our hearts, and filling our lives with His presence. When we love God above all else, sin loses its power, and His Spirit works to transform us from the inside out. Discover how holiness is both an event and a process, a divine melody that captivates the heart and frees us to live fully for Christ. – Dr. Mark Rutland Chapters (00:00:03) - The Leaders Notebook(00:00:24) - A Reading from the King James Bible(00:02:07) - The Word of Holiness(00:03:55) - God's Words of Holiness in Leviticus and Moses(00:11:37) - Can God Do Everything?(00:17:04) - You Shall Be Holy Because I Am the God(00:22:45) - The Process of Being Sanctified(00:28:51) - The Island of the Sirens
Most of us have the wrong picture of holiness. Pastor Vicki Harrison opens 1 Peter 1:13-16 and shows that being set apart isn't about being religious — it's about looking like your Father.
In this episode, Dr. Jim walks through the powerful biblical principle of sowing and reaping from Galatians 6. He challenges listeners to recognize that every choice—whether spiritual or fleshly—plants a seed that will eventually produce a harvest. With both warning and encouragement, this episode calls young people to live with eternity in view by sowing to the Spirit and responding rightly when God speaks to their hearts. Topics Discussed The unchanging law of sowing and reaping Sowing to the flesh vs. sowing to the Spirit Why consequences are inevitable and often greater than expected The importance of responding to conviction from God's Word Being “good ground” for spiritual truth How God uses believers to sow seed into the lives of others Living today with eternal impact in mind Key Takeaways Every action plants a seed, and every seed produces a harvest—no exceptions You can choose your sin, but you cannot choose your consequences Sowing to the Spirit happens through dependence on God's Word and the Holy Spirit Receiving and responding to truth is just as important as sharing it God uses ordinary conversations and moments to produce eternal fruit The harvest may take time, but it is always certain A life surrendered to God becomes both good soil and a faithful sower If you've been encouraged by this podcast, please take the time to give us a five-star rating and write a brief review.

What should faithful living look like for today’s Christian? That’s what First UMC of San Diego pastors Revs. Hannah Ka and Brittany Juliette Hanlin discuss in this episode of Perspectives FUMCSD Pastors Podcast. The digital Bible study is part of an ongoing conversation of the pastors as they answer the question “What We Really Mean When We Talk About…” from their progressive theological lens. Drawing from John 13:34-35 and the theological practices of the father of Methodism – John Wesley – the two females argue that it’s not enough to simply show up at church each week. As Christians, we need to apply Sunday learnings to our everyday living in how we show up in our relationship with God and those around us. But is it really as simple as that sounds? Be sure to watch or listen to find out. Then continue the conversation with others through our in-person Convergence group or by joining our online community at patreon.com/fumcsd. Here are the discussion questions for this episode: How has Jesus loved you? How does that love influence the way you love others? Why does Jesus say love is the thing that proves we’re his followers? Can you really have a private faith without it showing up in how you treat people? Our Patreon community is open to all – no matter where you align in your spiritual beliefs. It’s free to join and connect over the weekly episode questions.

In this episode, Dr. Jim Van Gelderen speaks from Piedmont, Missouri, about the essential element that transforms truth into life change: application. He explains how biblical commands and principles must be practically implemented through Spirit-led standards. Drawing from personal stories and revival ministry experience, Dr. Jim urges young people to embrace conviction, avoid legalism, and courageously follow God's specific leading in their lives.Topics DiscussedWhat application is—and what it isn'tThe difference between commands, principles, and standardsWhy some standards differ based on personal past strugglesPractical examples of media, music, and technology applicationsThe difference between intrinsic wrongs and associational issuesThe Holy Spirit's role in grace-filled obedienceAvoiding legalism while still having strong standardsThe importance of responding to conviction immediatelyKey TakeawaysPreaching must lead to application or it's incomplete.Standards are personalized applications of God's Word, not legalistic rules.Different people will need different standards based on past experiences and weaknesses.The Holy Spirit leads both in conviction and in enabling you to live it out.Applications you make while young can protect and shape your entire life.

Send us a textAre the teachings of the First Fruits of Zion ministry safe for your church? We speak with David Harris, Ph.D, a Jewish believer in Jesus, and pastor Randy Powell, an expert on FFOZ, on this question. Prof. Solberg gets their reaction to 5 video clips from FFOZ founder, Boaz Michael. The panel addresses the controversial claim of an “incomplete gospel,” analyzing the theological roots and consequences of such a belief. They highlight the dangers of Torah-centric teachings that risk shifting the focus away from Christ and toward Old Covenant practices. Topics include the role of the Torah in Christianity, the identity of believers in the gospel, and the balance between holiness and legalism. The panel also explores the implications of the Hebrew Roots movement, including the risks of cult-like behavior and theological confusion within churches. With a clear call for discernment, this video challenges viewers to align their faith firmly with the gospel of Jesus Christ and the New Covenant teachings of Scripture.Affiliate Note: I first studied biblical Hebrew remotely through the Israel Institute of Biblical Studies.

The nuclear family is the backbone of a strong society—without it, we will crumble. In this episode, we're talking about Elon Musk's latest love child with Ashley St. Clair and why Conservatives cannot fall into the trap of normalizing single motherhood and reckless men who create broken families. Strong individuals come from strong families. When the family unit collapses, people become weak, directionless, and ultimately easier for the government to exploit. The more broken the home, the more dependent the individual. And guess who loves that? The people in power who want control over your life. So, we are talking biblical gender roles, marriage, family, and why morals will always matter—even if they stop mattering to everyone else. A father's leadership and a mother's nurturing aren't interchangeable, and no amount of modern delusion will change that. Children need both a mother and a father in the home. And no, morals don't change for you once you're rich. Wh*re culture needs to die because the next generation is at stake.--https://policecoffee.com/?srsltid=AfmBOooc599VmOCGa3oE2DnVcJ4uLA69XDoBZf8ChiOpFqVfKc_BASiR
In this series, so far we've explored the interconnected pillars of flourishing: justice, mercy, and humility. Today, we turn our attention to the critical role of personal piety—of walking humbly before God and standing firm in spiritual warfare. To guide us, we'll draw inspiration from Isaiah 61 and the life and teachings of the great Puritan preacher Thomas Brooks. What started out as a four part series has turned into a vibrant series that will run every Monday and Thursday in January. As you listen to each episode, you immediately recognize that God's flourishing bears no resemblance to the attributes the world promotes as avenues to flourishing.

The Faith Explained with Cale Clarke - Learning the Catholic Faith
As our Jewish friends celebrate Passover, we ask: Why did God institute two separate feasts: Passover and the feast of Unleavened Bread? One has to do with initial salvation, and the other has to do with sanctification: holiness, becoming like God. “Be holy, as I am holy”, says the Lord in the Old Covenant. Jesus says, “Be perfect, as your Heavenly Father is perfect” in the New.

Paul told Timothy that Christian women should "adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array" (1 Timothy 2:9, KJV). What does this mean for believers living in the modern world, and how do we define "costly array"?Dr. David K. Bernard explains the meaning of Paul's words and explores other New Testament passages that refer to jewelry and adornment. This episode is for anyone who takes the Bible's countercultural teachings seriously.For more information on this subject, see Dr. Bernard's books In Search of Holiness and Practical Holiness.

Fraternal Correction through Personal Holiness by Fr. Barry Braum
Carl Hargrove • 1 Peter 1:19 • Striving for personal holiness can be a confusing venture. We know there is a calling to do so (1 Peter 1:19), but what road do we travel to pursue it? Unfortunately, some begin with a list of things not to do. Though personal holiness does mean we make decisions about what to avoid, it is mainly a decision about what to strive after. In this workshop, we will consider theological and practical steps to grow in a life of personal holiness.
Some critics accuse Apostolic Pentecostals of being "legalistic" because of our insistence on water baptism in Jesus' name and our pursuit of personal holiness. Is this accusation warranted? UPCI General Superintendent Dr. David K. Bernard responds to this charge with a defense of Apostolic Pentecostal teachings on both salvation and holiness.For further study, see Dr. Bernard's book Practical Holiness: A Second Look, available at PentecostalPublishing.com.If you enjoy this podcast, leave a five-star rating and a review on iTunes or your preferred podcast platform.

On our own, we can never be good enough for a perfect God, but He freely gives His goodness to all who believe.
