Podcasts about Sanctification

Is medication meant to help us heal, or has it quietly begun to replace the slow work of sanctification?In this Thinking Through episode, Jonathan Kindler steps into one of the most sensitive conversations today: the rise of mental health medication and the growing confusion around what pills can help and what they can never do. With clarity, care, and biblical depth, he explores the SSRI boom, cultural promises of relief, and the quiet pressure to medicate pain that Scripture invites us to walk through with God.Blending Scripture, neuroscience, humor, and pastoral reflection, this episode refuses easy answers. Instead, it holds tension: honoring medication as a possible mercy while drawing a clear line where only the Spirit can work. Through stories from Scripture and the counseling room, Jonathan invites listeners to rethink peace, suffering, and what true transformation actually requires.Whether you are taking medication, considering it, or wrestling with how faith and mental health intersect, this episode calls you to slow down, think biblically, and trust God with both relief and formation.Visit:Instagram: soundmind.live

Parenting isn't just about shaping our kids—it's about shaping us. Through boundaries, consistency, repair, and everyday inconveniences, God uses parenting to expose our hearts, grow our maturity, and form us into people our children can trust. It's messy, humbling, and lifelong—but with Jesus, even our mistakes become part of the work of grace. In this honest conversation, Jamie and Heather reflect on the parenting lessons they've learned (and are still learning).   Show Notes:  In this episode they mention the book The 6 Needs of Every Child by Amy Elizabeth Olrick and Jeffrey Olrick, PH.D.   About Church on the Move: We are a family of churches in northeast Oklahoma. Our mission is to introduce people to the real Jesus. A lot of people know about Jesus but have yet to experience the life-changing power of His grace and truth. Knowing Jesus has transformed our lives, so our goal for each of our worship services, from our kids' environments on up, is to help people know that same love. We actively pursue Jesus in everything we do, and we believe He's given us a vision for a church that is deeply centered on Him and His word.

Father talks about how, in today's culture, we are idolaters.

Pastor Scott Kimball teaches from Colossians 3 principles about being the kind of person God wants you to be. Sanctification or discipleship is a process for a believer to develop the mind of Christ and learn to walk in step with Him.bfc4u.org, facebook.com/bfc4u

In ⬇️Dive Here! Part 2, we'll leave the surface behind again and follow the Great I AM into the deeper depths of discipleship—where identity is formed, the mind is renewed, and God's energeia (His active, living power) comes alive within every disciple of Jesus.

1 Thessalonians #5 1 Thessalonians 4:1-8 In this message, we explore Paul’s clear call to live a life that pleases God through holiness and purity. Scripture teaches that God’s will is our sanctification-learning to honor Him with our bodies, our choices, and our daily walk.

We are dead to sin and alive to God in Christ, and therefore we can live for him.

In this second Twisted Passions episode, the host tackles a loaded question: Is homosexuality worse than other sins? He explains why Scripture uses especially strong language about homosexuality in the Old Testament, but then emphasizes that the New Testament consistently places it in “lists of sins,” highlighting the gospel's equal sufficiency for all sinners. The episode closes with a pastoral plea: churches often speak against homosexuality from the pulpit, but rarely speak _to_those quietly struggling in the pew, and that gap must change.Topics DiscussedWhy the question “worse” can mean different things (degree of wickedness, path of deliverance, depth of impact)“Corruption” vs “perversion” framing (heterosexual sin vs homosexual sin)Old Testament “abomination” language and civil penalty context (Leviticus 18, 20)New Testament “sin lists” (Romans 1, 1 Corinthians 6, Revelation 21) and what that implies for how believers should think and ministerGospel-centered conclusion: the blood of Christ is sufficient for “all sin,” and the church should not treat people with SSA as a different class of sinnerPastoral application: preaching only to “defend a statement” can unintentionally build a barrier for strugglers; we need diligence, not toleranceKey Takeaways“Worse” has multiple layers: moral weight, deliverance process, and personal impact.The New Testament's emphasis is not ranking sin but spotlighting the gospel that rescues sinners.Churches should pair biblical clarity with real pastoral care for those in the congregation who are silently battling.Practical safeguards and wise boundaries are normal in discipleship for any besetting sin, and should not be treated as uniquely shameful here.Ready to download the Cord App?

In Episode 274 of the Beers & Bible Podcast, we continue our journey through Romans 6 by looking at verses 13–23 and what it really means to be “alive from the dead” in Christ. We unpack Paul's call not to present our bodies as instruments of sin, but as instruments of righteousness, and talk about how the Christian life after conversion is both fully dependent on God's grace and yet genuinely involves our effort. Sanctification isn't “let go and let God”—it's Spirit-empowered, grace-fueled striving as we make use of the means of grace: God's Word, prayer, and corporate worship.We also explore what it means to no longer be under law but under grace—no longer crushed by the law's condemnation, but freed by Christ's righteousness to pursue holiness. Paul's imagery of slavery runs through the passage: once slaves of sin, now slaves of righteousness. We discuss why “righteousness” should still be a central goal for believers, how our lives are meant to surpass the outward religion of the Pharisees in heart-level obedience, and how Romans 6:23 ties it all together: the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Ultimately, this episode presses us to fight sin, pursue righteousness, and worship God out of deep gratitude for His undeserved grace.

In this lesson, we look at the book of Leviticus. We see in this book, the theme is Sanctification and Separation.

The Holy Spirit is not merely a force; He is the fully divine third Person of the Trinity, sent as our indispensable Helper, Guide, and Comforter. His primary role is applying the salvation Christ purchased directly to our lives. At conversion, the Spirit acts as our Seal and Guarantee of redemption, ensuring we possess an imperishable inheritance kept safe for us. This sealing confirms our Adoption, transforming us from enemies and children of wrath into beloved sons and daughters of God. This is only the beginning! We then enter Sanctification—the lifelong "home renovation" project that makes us holy. While this requires our diligent effort and discipline, our ultimate Perseverance is rooted 100% in God's faithfulness, not in our inconsistent works. If we grieve Him by living in sin, the Father intervenes with loving Discipline to destroy the flesh and draw us back to holiness. The proof of true faith is the Fruit of the Spirit in our lives. To maintain growth and conquer sin, we must continually seek the ongoing Filling of the Spirit by practicing radical repentance—we dig out the rocks of sin to make room for more of Him.

The Holy Bible teaches both definitive and progressive sanctification.

In this week's episode we are LIVE for our 100th episode of In Totality! I honestly can't believe we've reached this far in our podcast journey, but it's a true testament of God's faithfulness when we obey and give Him a serious yes. I'm joined by my best friend, Jackie Hill Perry, and we have an open conversation about sanctification, and the very real struggle of becoming more like Christ.We talk through the frustration of feeling stuck, the emotional weight of obedience, and why spiritual growth often feels slow and painful. This isn't a teaching moment, it's a transparent one. We don't just quote scripture, we live it. And sometimes, that looks like waiting, and asking hard questions.If you've ever felt like your effort isn't enough, or you're tired of fighting battles no one sees, this conversation is for you! God is not distant, He's refining you and He is with you.Even here. You're not failing. You're being reformed.I can't wait for you to hear this one!

Jeffery Perry spoke during our 2nd session of night one concerning Walter Marshall's book: “The Gospel Mystery of Sanctification.” Email: drigw18@gmail.com Website: Deeplyrootedconference.org

Know this: God always has a next step for us. Until we see Jesus in glory, God is not finished with us. This work of ongoing spiritual growth and development is called sanctification.Main Points:1. The basic meaning of "sanctify" is to set apart to God, for His use. This work of “setting us apart” is the ongoing spiritual growth that makes you and me more like Jesus.2. Sanctification is the work of God in our lives to call us away from sin, ungodliness, and worldliness, and through the power of the Holy Spirit, enable us to live holy and righteous lives that reflect Christ.3. Salvation is a momentary act, bringing us from spiritual death to life. It is exclusively God's work. Sanctification is an ongoing process; it is dependent on God's ongoing work in our lives, but it also requires our continuous fight against sin.Today's Scripture Verses:1 Thessalonians 4:3 - “It is God's will that you should be sanctified.”Romans 8:29 - (God is) “conforming us to the image of His Son.”  Ephesians 2:8-9 - “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast.”1 Thessalonians 5:23-24 - “May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul, and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The one who calls you is faithful and he will do it.”Philippians 1:6, “Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Jesus Christ.”Quick Links:Donate to support this podcastLeave a review on Apple PodcastsGet a copy of The 5 Minute Discipleship JournalConnect on SocialJoin The 5 Minute Discipleship Facebook Group

Dealing with the Root | Genesis 20 What's beneath the surface will eventually break through. Just like roots can crack the strongest foundation, spiritual "roots" left undealt with—fear, anger, bitterness, pride—will resurface and wreak havoc in our lives. In Genesis 20, Abraham repeats the same mistake he made 25 years earlier. Despite God's promises, fear takes root again. But even in failure, God shows His presence, His power, and His grace. In this message, Pastor Zach Terry walks through Abraham's struggle and shows us how God:  Exposes the roots that remain hidden in our hearts Confronts us through truth and conviction Leads us to confession and renewal Continues to use us by His grace Sanctification is slow, intentional work. It's about pulling out the roots before they destroy the foundation. The good news? God never gives up on His children.

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm honored to have back on the show for another amazing show: survivor and child abuse advocate, podcaster, woman of God, independent researcher, investigative journalist and educator, and one of my dear friends: Jaymee Jay!Jaymee's journey, forged in the fires of a challenging upbringing of traditional family dysfunction, has uniquely shaped her into a beacon of brilliance and compassion, lighting up and inspiring the paths of countless lives with her remarkable achievements. With a world of possibilities at her fingertips, she could have chosen any pursuit to invest her boundless energy, intellect, and voice. Yet, in an act of unparalleled selflessness, Jaymee has devoted herself to unraveling the complexities of SRA, mind control, and organized abuse, serving as a tireless advocate for survivors and whistleblowers of these heinous crimes against humanity. I stand in absolute awe of her unwavering resolve to step onto this war - a battle she could have easily observed from a safe distance, never uttering a word. To me, Jaymee is nothing short of a hero, fearlessly raising her voice as an ally, fully aware of the risks, the targets it paints on her back, and the absence of any material reward. In today's podcast episode, Jaymee turns her compassionate gaze to one of the most insidious threads woven into every abuse survivor's journey: the suffocating weight of shame and the weaponization of shame. This silent saboteur shadows journeys from the first whisper of violation to the fragile steps toward freedom, binding survivors in chains of self-doubt and isolation. During the abuse itself, perpetrators wield shame as their cruelest weapon, gaslighting victims into believing they invited the harm or somehow deserved it - instilling a toxic narrative that the survivor's very essence is flawed and unworthy. It lingers like a venomous fog, compelling many to bury their truths deep within, where silence becomes both prison and protector. Studies show that over 75% of female sexual abuse survivors grapple with this trauma-related shame, often delaying disclosure for years or even decades. And when survivors finally summon the insurmountable courage to speak out - as they must, to reclaim their lives and to be set free - the world too often recoils with its own arsenal of shame, demanding irrefutable "proof," branding them as fabricators, or layering on victim-blaming that twists the knife deeper, fostering feelings of worthlessness, self-blame, and a haunting fear of judgment. Without intervention, shame spirals into isolation, depression, self-harm, and even barriers to essential healthcare, as the dread of exposure keeps survivors hidden from the very support that could set them free.BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS ON SHAME FROM JAYMEE: 1.

What is a human—dust and breath, body and spirit—without tearing ourselves in two? Deacon Anthony (St. Anthony the Great Orthodox Church, San Diego) joins Cloud of Witnesses with hosts Mario Andrew, Jeremy Jeremiah, and John for a rich, practical conversation on an Orthodox vision of the whole person and the mind (phronema) of the Church.We trace a path away from the twin traps of indulgence (living by our appetites) and denial (pretending we're already angelic), toward a fearless embrace of reality in Christ. Through Scripture, the Fathers, and stories from parish life, Deacon Anthony shows how God meets us in the tangible—mud on eyes, bread and wine, water and oil—to heal the heart and remake our lives.In this episode you'll hear:Body & Soul together: why the Incarnation means Christianity is never “purely spiritual” or “only physical.”The phronema (mindset) of the Church: how a Christian way of seeing reshapes what we notice, how we judge, and whom we love.Using God-given tools rightly: judge ourselves, not our neighbor; fear sin, not repentance; hate the illness, not the person.Confession as healing: real accountability, a spiritual father, and why naming sin breaks its power.Community over isolation: salvation is ecclesial and relational—you can't be saved on an island.Heaven & hell begin now: entitlement and isolation taste like hell; humility and communion taste like heaven.Saints as role models: why children (and adults) need holy examples more than celebrities.Eucharist & the senses: why worship that engages sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch anchors faith in reality.If “symbolic religion” has felt thin—or if modern “live-your-truth” scripts leave you empty—this conversation offers a hopeful, time-tested alternative: sacrament, repentance, and daily love that form the whole person in Christ.Find an Orthodox Church near you today.

Psalm 119:169–176, The Shepherd Who Seeks His Wandering Sheep Show Summary In this episode of Walking Through the Psalms on the Servants of Grace podcast, Dave Jenkins walks through the final stanza of Psalm 119 (verses 169–176). After 21 stanzas of longing, delighting, clinging, wrestling, hoping, praising, and persevering in the Word of God, the psalmist closes with a prayer that combines desperation, dependance, and devotion. We see a man who has been shaped by Scripture crying out for understanding, deliverance, worship, and sustaining grace. He acknowledges his proneness to wander, yet clings to the Shepherd who never loses His sheep. This passage reminds believers that true maturity is not independence from God but deeper dependance on His grace. Audio Player Video Player Episode Notes Passage Text: Psalm 119:169–176 Outline A Cry for Understanding (vv. 169–170) Humility is the doorway to biblical clarity. The psalmist knows, loves, and obeys the Word, yet still asks for more understanding. We never outgrow our need for a deeper grasp of God's Word and grace. Praise as the Fruit of Learning (vv. 171–172) “My lips will pour forth praise, for you teach me your statutes.” Theology leads to doxology: doctrine fuels devotion and worship. True worship flows from the truth God has revealed in Scripture. Dependance Under Pressure (vv. 173–174) Choosing God's precepts does not remove the need for God's help. Longing for salvation and delighting in God's law can coexist. God's finished work in Christ is the ground of our hope and obedience. A Confession of Need and the Shepherd's Pursuit (vv. 175–176) “I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek your servant.” This is not proud rebellion but humble acknowledgment of weakness. Sanctification is not self-rescue; it is daily dependance on the Good Shepherd. Theological Themes Prayerful Dependance – The psalmist cries out for understanding, deliverance, and help. Praise Shaped by Revelation – God's teaching produces heartfelt worship. God's Help and Human Obedience – Our choice to follow God's ways increases, not decreases, our reliance on Him. Longing for Salvation – Present delight in God's law and future hope in His salvation meet together. The Shepherd's Pursuit – We are prone to wander, but Christ, the Good Shepherd, seeks and restores His own. Application Self: Confess your weakness and ask God daily for understanding from His Word. Others: Encourage weary or wandering believers with the promise that the Shepherd seeks His sheep. Practice: Begin each day with a simple prayer: “Lord, give me understanding according to Your Word, and keep me close to You.” Memorize: Psalm 119:176 – “I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek your servant, for I do not forget your commandments.” Further Study Psalm 23 – The Shepherd who leads and restores. John 10:1–18 – Jesus the Good Shepherd who lays down His life for the sheep. Hebrews 13:20–21 – The God of peace who equips His people. Isaiah 53:6 – “All we like sheep have gone astray.” Call to Action If this episode encouraged you, please share it with a friend and leave a review on the Servants of Grace podcast to help others find Christ-centered, Scripture-saturated teaching.

Pastor Bob Wren continues the series with this second session on Sanctification. The Apostle Paul addresses the need to the Thessalonians. bfc4u.org, facebook.com/bfc4u

Justification, Sanctification, and Salvation explores how Scripture connects these three essential aspects of the believer's walk. This short teaching explains how justification changes our status before God, how sanctification shapes our ongoing obedience, and how salvation is the final outcome secured by Messiah and displayed through a transformed life. Together, they reveal the beautiful harmony between faith, obedience, and eternal hope.Scriptures referenced: Romans 3:28; 1 John 5:2–3; Matthew 7:16; 2 Corinthians 13:5; Romans 6:22; Ezekiel 36:27.Takeaway: Understanding the biblical relationship between justification, sanctification, and salvation helps us walk in both grace and truth—trusting in Yeshua's finished work while growing in the obedience that flows from genuine faith.

How do we live out the Christian life as Jesus intended? In this four-part series on the command to receive God's power, we explore Jesus' call to “tarry… until ye be endued with power from on high” (Luke 24:49). We begin by uncovering our absolute need for the Holy Spirit—not only to begin the Christian life, but to sustain and empower it every day. Through rich Scripture, personal stories, and practical application, we examine what it means to walk in the Spirit, how to abide in His power, what grieves or quenches Him, and the vital ministries He performs in our lives. From salvation to sanctification, from surrender to fruitfulness, this series invites us to live not in our own strength, but in the power of Christ dwelling in us. When we truly depend on Him, He transforms our lives, equips our witness, and glorifies Himself through us.Are we allowing anything—sin, pride, fear, or worldliness—to grieve or quench the Spirit of God in our lives? Have we invited the Holy Spirit not only to dwell in us but to fill us completely and lead us daily?As we close this four-part series on receiving God's power, we are left with a profound and essential truth: the Christian life is not lived by our effort, strength, or resolve, but by the power of the Holy Spirit indwelling and empowering us. Jesus' words in Luke 24:49, “Tarry… until ye be endued with power from on high,” remind us that we must first receive before we can obey. The Spirit of God is given at salvation, yet His filling is to be sought and received daily through surrender, humility, abiding in the Word, and prayer. We've seen that sin, pride, fear, worldliness, and even careless speech can grieve or quench the Spirit, hindering His work in us. But as we yield every part of our hearts—removing the “Private” signs on locked closets—the Spirit fills, sanctifies, convicts, comforts, guides, teaches, and glorifies Jesus through us. He is the very presence of God within us, the engine of our walk, and the power for our witness. Just as the early disciples turned the world upside down after receiving the Spirit, so too can our lives bear fruit when we are wholly surrendered to His leading. May we be a people marked by His power—not for show, but for the glory of Christ alone. And may this teaching not remain a concept but become our daily cry: “Lord, fill me afresh. I can't—but You never said I could. You can—and You always said You would.” Amen.

Have you been scammed by a fake Christianity? Were you promised that if you prayed a certain prayer, or came forward at a meeting, Jesus would take you to Heaven - but leave you in your sin? Were you told that you could accept Christ as Savior, and not as Lord? Were you sold Justification and Glorification, but when you got the package home and unwrapped it, there was no Sanctification inside?

Our words serve as spiritual health monitors, revealing the true condition of our hearts. Jesus teaches that just as a tree is known by its fruit, our inner spiritual condition is revealed through our outward words and actions. The Pharisees focused on external appearances while neglecting internal transformation, living an outside-in faith rather than inside-out. Genuine character isn't about trying harder but training wisely and becoming a Yes, Lord person who surrenders completely to God. Our words don't just slip out - they overflow from what's stored in our hearts, and we'll be held accountable for every careless word we speak.

This episode comes from the fifth session at the 2025 Pactum Conference, God's Great Gospel. Mike Abendroth speaks on sanctification and the gospel.

If you don't memorize Scripture, you won't be able to stand against the devil. Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar each share how storing God's Word in their hearts transformed their faith and equipped them for spiritual battle. E.Z. didn't grow up with the Bible, and when he discovered it, he became captivated by its sweetness and power to guide his life. Oscar initially found the Bible confusing, but through memorization, he came to see it as the single, reliable source of wisdom. While God's law is written on our hearts and gives a general sense of right and wrong, conviction and clarity come when His Word is hidden within, ready to guide and correct in the moment.Memorizing Scripture allows truth to come to mind during temptation and conviction, shaping responses through godly wisdom rather than emotion. Without it, believers risk relying on the world instead of God's guidance. Sanctification is lifelong as the Spirit reveals sin, and as we grow, we become continual repenters, allowing Scripture to illuminate dark corners of the heart. The Word is living and active, a lamp to our feet and a light to our path, providing strength and fruitfulness. Mark reflects that those who meditate on Scripture day and night are like trees planted by streams of water, deeply rooted and bearing fruit in every season.The Word equips believers as vessels of honor, ready for every good work. It is the sword of the Spirit—powerful only when known and applied. Believers are called to treasure scripture like hidden gold, rejoicing in its truth and prioritizing it above all else. Jesus upheld the authority of Scripture as the ultimate standard of truth that will judge the nations. Memorization fills minds with good things, yet it has become a lost discipline in the modern church. How valuable it would be to have Scripture ready to encourage a friend, for from the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. The more we store God's Word, the more we live by it.The early church eagerly gathered to hear Scripture read aloud, but today many settle for spiritual fast food instead of feasting on truth. Ray warns that the church often treats the Bible like a fragile artifact rather than a living guide meant to be used and marked. Jesus modeled memorization when He resisted Satan's temptations with truth. Memorizing Scripture takes time, but just minutes a day can transform your walk. Meditation means letting verses soak into the soul. Memorizing Scripture is coming face-to-face with God—shaping the heart and strengthening faith. The Bible will keep you from sin, or sin will keep you from the Bible.Send us a textThanks for listening!

If you've been walking with In Totality for a while, then you know I'm passionate about talking through the raw parts of our faith journeys, the in-between spaces where trust feels tested and growth feels slow.In this week's episode, we're diving into the process of sanctification—that slow, beautiful, and sometimes frustrating journey of being shaped into Christ's image.We talk about what it looks like to hold on when you'd rather hurry, to trust God when you don't understand His pace, and to find peace in the “not yet” moments of your story.This conversation unpacks what it means to be renewed day by day, even when you're tired, even when it feels like nothing's changing, and how God uses the waiting, the wrestling, and the weariness to make us whole.Lean in, and let's talk about the slow work of sanctification together.Listen now, you don't want to miss this one!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
