Podcasts about Romans 12

In this episode, Madi walks through Romans 12:1–2 and unpacks what it truly means to offer your life as a living sacrifice to God. In a culture that constantly tells us to live for ourselves, Scripture calls us to something radically different: to surrender every part of our lives to the Lord and trust that His will is far better than our own. Together, we'll dive into what biblical surrender actually looks like, why transformation begins with the renewing of our minds, how to discern God's will for our lives, and why following Jesus requires daily sacrifice rather than occasional commitment. If you've ever wondered what God's will is or struggled to fully surrender your plans, desires, or future to Him, this episode is for you. My prayer is that this conversation would encourage you to lay your life before the Lord again, trust Him more deeply, and experience the transformation that only comes from living fully surrendered to Jesus. New episodes every Thursday at 7am EST

Some of us define spiritual maturity by what we know. Others define it by what we avoid. Romans 12 points to something deeper—and far more difficult. Paul invites us to reconsider how we measure spiritual growth and whether we're becoming the kind of people Jesus is actually forming us to be.

What if the pattern you're most afraid of repeating is the one you have the most power to stop?In this episode, JT Coleman teaches from Romans 12:1-2. Drawing from Ezekiel 18, John 9, and personal stories of watching cycles break in real families, JT makes the case that sinful patterns — the ones we inherit and the ones we've started — don't have to continue. What breaks them isn't willpower. It's surrender.Forks of Elkhorn Baptist Church | Midway, KYNew episodes every week. Subscribe wherever you listen.forksbaptist.org

We are one body of Christ

Life is often more than we can handle alone, but Romans 12 offers a practical and powerful path through tribulation rooted in Christ. Patience in tribulation is not passive resignation. It is the active choice to let Christ go first, sitting down underneath His sovereignty rather than running ahead in anxiety or fear. Joy and hope are not the same as happiness. They are deeper realities anchored in the unchanging character of God. Prayer is not a religious formality but a constant, natural conversation with God that sustains the soul through difficulty. And the body of Christ is not optional. It is one of the primary ways God provides for His people in hard times. Trials are not wasted in the life of a believer. In Christ, they produce endurance, hope, and ultimately joy.

Romans 12 pt4 - Christian Behavior by Ray Jensen

Paul encouraged the Christians in Corinth by writing, "There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. There are different kinds of working, but the same God works all of them in all men. Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good." (1 Corinthians 12:4-7) In this series, we will be exploring how each of us are gifted to serve in God's kingdom. We will reflect on spiritual gifts. How do spiritual gifts enable us to join in the work of the Holy Spirit in the world? Guided by the two motifs: Prophet, Priest, and King and the 5-Fold Ministry Paul details in his letter to the Ephesians, we are invited to consider what spiritual gifts we identify with and how those gifts influence the way we join with the Spirit's kingdom work in the world today. This week, Casey Tygrett guides us through Paul's words about unity and spiritual gifts to the Church in Rome.

Romans 12 pt7 - Christian Behavior by Ray Jensen

From the Romans 12 sermon series.

In work, we are prone to assume all of our struggles are a result of sin and the world's brokenness; these must be the thorns God cursed Adam and Eve with. But God created all of us with limits, which are good and intentionally built by Him. Listen to Dave unpack the doctrine of Finitude and God's design for us in work.

Be a living sacrifice to God

Paul's instructions in Romans 12:9-13 call Christians to embrace a radically different way of living centered on genuine love within the church family. When we become new creations in Christ, we're called to love one another with brotherly affection, moving beyond self-protection to sacrificial service. This means taking the lead in showing honor to others, serving the Lord with fervent zeal, and caring deeply for each other's spiritual well-being. Unlike the world's emphasis on self-interest, Christ calls us to consider others more important than ourselves, creating a spiritual family bound together by divine love rather than blood relations.

Romans 12 pt1 - Service & Sacrifice by Ray Jensen

Series: 2026 - Summer Series, Flourishing in Faith: The Life God GrowsService: Summer SeriesType: Bible MessageSpeaker: Blake Edwards

After eleven chapters of what God has done for you, Paul says “therefore” and gets specific about what it looks like to live in God's grace. He tells us: Present your bodies as living sacrifices. Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewal of your mind. Love without hypocrisy. Think soberly about your gifts. Feed your enemy when he is hungry. This is where Paul connects doctrine to daily life, and every instruction here grows out of the mercy God has already given you in Christ. The Rev. Dr. Stephen Krenz, pastor of St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Columbia, IL, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Romans 12:1–21. To learn more about St. Paul's Lutheran Church, visit stpauls-lcms.org. Why does doing the right thing sometimes feel impossible? Why do feelings of guilt follow us even when we've been forgiven? These aren't new questions. St. Paul wrote his letter to the Romans for a church he had never visited, and yet he addressed the struggles every Christian knows firsthand: the weight of the law, the persistence of sin, the sufficiency of what God has done in Christ. Romans covers enormous ground. Paul moves from the universal problem of sin through justification by faith, the role of baptism, the war between flesh and spirit, God's faithfulness to Israel, and the shape of life together in the body of Christ. There's a reason the Reformation was born in this letter. Join us on Thy Strong Word as we open up Romans, weekdays at 11am or on-demand anytime, at KFUO.org.  Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations. Submit comments or questions to: thystrongword@kfuo.org.

The fruit necessary to be a Christian. None of these things are possible on our own. The Holy Spirit must work through us and this fruit is evidence of His work in us.

In this impactful, verse-by-verse Bible study on Romans 12:9–21, Dave Bigler (guest teaching at New Life Fellowship, Wilton NY) unpacks the Apostle Paul's radical call to Christian living. Shifting from the foundational theology of the "Romans Road" in chapters 1–11, chapter 12 serves as a practical commencement address for believers, challenging us to drop the masks and pursue sincere love. While the extensive list of commands—including practicing hospitality, blessing those who persecute you, and living at peace with everyone—can easily feel like an overwhelming, Pharisaical Christian to-do list, Bigler reminds us that these attributes are a formula for exhaustion if attempted under our own strength. Instead, we must view these behaviors as the natural fruit and overflowing evidence of the Holy Spirit actively working within a transformed heart. To see this spiritual fruit truly flourish without falling into the trap of legalism, the teaching highlights two life-long spiritual disciplines: consistently studying God's Word and dedicating daily time to prayerful relationship with the Lord. By shifting our focus away from a strict religious checklist and anchoring our identity in who God is and how He uniquely sees us, we unlock the supernatural ability to handle life's afflictions with joy, value others above ourselves, and overcome evil with unexpected good. Whether navigating complex marriage dynamics, workplace relationships, or the deep political divisions of our current culture, this message provides a powerful blueprint for allowing Christ's love to authentically pour through us into a broken world.

Our Western culture likes to throw the word "Love" around constantly, but when conflict arises, our definitions quickly crumble. Week five of Live in Love dives into Paul's thoughts about love in Romans 12:9-21, challenging us to move beyond love as a fleeting feeling and embrace it as a consistent, costly action. Drawing from psychiatrist M. Scott Peck's insight that love is the will to extend oneself for another's spiritual growth, we're confronted with a radical truth: genuine love is tested not when things are easy, but precisely when we face disappointment, betrayal, and opposition. Paul's letter to the Romans isn't a rulebook for earning God's approval—it's a description of family values for those who already know they're loved by Christ. The passage walks us through the house of love, opening door after door: hating evil while holding fast to good, showing mutual affection as brothers and sisters, maintaining passionate zeal, rejoicing in hope amid suffering, practicing radical generosity and hospitality. Most challenging of all, we're called to stay open-hearted even when others hurt us, refusing to let evil reproduce itself through our vengeful responses. The burning coals we heap on our enemies' heads aren't instruments of revenge but life-giving fire that might spark transformation. This kind of love only becomes possible when we stop sitting in God's judgment seat and instead gaze at Jesus, who had every right to condemn us but chose only to forgive. When we truly see how Christ loved us first, our icy hearts melt, and we become free to love others—not through willpower, but through transformation.

In this episode, Sathiya sits down with renowned neurosurgeon, author, and speaker Dr. Lee Warren to explore the intersection of neuroscience, faith, trauma, and transformation. Drawing from his experiences as a combat neurosurgeon during the Iraq War, surviving PTSD, and grieving the loss of his 19-year-old son, Mitch, Dr. Warren shares how those painful seasons led him to discover the powerful connection between intentional thinking, faith, and neuroplasticity. The conversation explores the difference between the mind and the brain, how thoughts shape the body and behavior, and why modern neuroscience increasingly supports biblical principles about renewing the mind. Sathiya and Dr. Warren also discuss addiction recovery, habit formation, resilience through suffering, the importance of community and brotherhood, and Dr. Warren's concept of “self-brain surgery” — the process of intentionally rewiring the brain through thought patterns, faith, and action. Throughout the episode, they reflect on scriptures including Romans 12, Philippians 4, Romans 5, and Psalm 103, ultimately encouraging listeners to embrace hope, pursue healing, and recognize their God-given capacity for growth and transformation through adversity.

In this message on Romans 12:14–21, Pastor Ulysses continues to challenge us to genuinely live out our faith daily as believers. We discover what it looks like to pursue true harmony by leveling our pride, sharing the same mind, and choosing to absorb hurt rather than letting evil win twice.
