Podcasts about Sanctification

Welcome back to the "Waiting for Weight Loss" Lenten series on the Compared to Who? Podcast! In this heartfelt episode, host Heather Creekmore dives deep into the challenge so many face: How can we desire body change or weight loss while still honoring, loving, and accepting the bodies we have—right now? Episode Highlights: Heather Creekmore unpacks why self-hatred is NOT a biblical motivator for change, and what healthier (and more effective) alternatives look like. You’ll hear practical, grace-filled advice on: Buying clothes that fit and flatter your body today, not waiting for a “goal weight.” Stopping the cycle of body checking, mirror scanning, and anxious self-critique. Shifting your mindset from shame-driven to gratitude-driven, even if you’re still on the journey to acceptance. Releasing comparison and learning to thank your body for all it’s helped you accomplish, instead of shaming it for what it’s not. Embracing the foundation of being loved and accepted by Jesus as you are, regardless of your current size or shape. Key Takeaways: It's absolutely possible to want change for your body without making shame your motivation. Acceptance now actually sets you up for healthier choices later—no more waiting for the "perfect" time or body. True transformation starts with knowing you are already fully loved in Christ.

In Part 1 of our Four Cups series, we explore the Cup of Sanctification, which represents salvation. Through God's promise in Exodus 6, we see how He brings His people out from under the weight of slavery and into new life. This message invites us to repent, surrender, and step into the abundant life Jesus offers.

The second half of Romans 8 rounds out Paul's discussion on sanctification and walking according to the Spirit. Oddly, to us as moderners, he ends by discussing suffering and it's role in our sanctification.

Every day brings new pressure to blend in, bow down, or stay quiet. But Scripture calls believers to live in the world without being polluted by it (James 1:27)—not by isolating ourselves, but by living differently as a witness to Jesus. In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef takes us to Corinth—one of the most spiritually sick cities of the ancient world—and shows how Paul addressed a church tempted to straddle two worlds. Some wanted one foot in the church and one foot in the culture, but Paul makes it clear: wholeness in Christ requires wholehearted allegiance. Here's the breakthrough: Paul calls these messy, struggling believers “saints”—not because they were perfect, but because they were sanctified in Christ Jesus (1 Corinthians 1:2). Dr. Youssef explains why every deliberate sin and compromise often comes down to one root issue: we forget whose we are. When you remember you belong to the eternal King—made righteous by the blood of Christ—you're empowered to pursue holiness with confidence, knowing God remains faithful even when you've fallen short. If you've been drifting, rationalizing, or feeling spiritually dulled by the culture, this devotional is a reset: You are a saint. Now live like it.

Finally, then, brothers, we ask and urge you in the Lord Jesus, that as you received from us how you ought to walk and to please God, just as you are doing, that you do so more and more. 2 For you know what instructions we gave you through the Lord Jesus. 3 For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you abstain from sexual immorality; 4 that each one of you know how to control his own body in holiness and honor, 5 not in the passion of lust like the Gentiles who do not know God; 6 that no one transgress and wrong his brother in this matter, because the Lord is an avenger in all these things, as we told you beforehand and solemnly warned you. 7 For God has not called us for impurity, but in holiness. 8 Therefore whoever disregards this, disregards not man but God, who gives his Holy Spirit to you.

If grace covers sin, does that mean sin no longer matters? In Romans 6, the Apostle Paul confronts a dangerous misunderstanding: that grace gives us permission to continue in sin. Instead, he reveals a powerful truth — when we come to Christ, we are not just forgiven; we are transformed. In this episode, we unpack what it truly means to be dead to sin and alive unto God. This is not behavior modification. This is identity transformation. You are no longer a slave. You are no longer bound. You are no longer who you used to be. Grace does not excuse sin — it empowers freedom.

PART 1 What does it really mean to “stand firm in the true grace of God”? In this inspiring and richly biblical study, Brian Johnston takes readers on a journey through the Apostle Peter's first letter—unpacking what Peter himself declared as his purpose in writing: “This is the true grace of God. Stand firm in it!” (1 Peter 5:12). With warmth and clarity, Brian explores five key facets of God's grace revealed in 1 Peter: Grace in Salvation – God's sovereign mercy in choosing, redeeming, and giving us new life through Christ. Grace in Service – The privilege of being built into God's spiritual house and priesthood. Grace in Sanctification – Living set apart for God amid testing and opposition. Grace in Suffering – Learning to endure trials with faith and hope. Grace in Subjection – Humility and dependence in leadership and daily life. Drawing on Scripture from Genesis to Revelation, he emphasizes that salvation is entirely of God's doing—grace from start to finish. This book will strengthen believers to remain steadfast, worshipful, and grounded in the unchanging grace of God. “After you have suffered a little while… the God of all grace… will Himself perfect, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.” — 1 Peter 5:10

What is Sanctification? Sanctification is the work of God's free grace whereby we are renewed in the whole man after the image of God and are enabled more and more to die unto sin, and live unto righteousness. ~The Baptist Catechism Question 38

In this episode, Costi Hinn challenges believers to examine their speech and asks whether our words truly reflect a heart transformed by the gospel. Holiness isn't about legalism — it's about love for Christ shaping how we speak every day.

Following Jesus requires three essential components: denying yourself, taking up your cross, and following Him. Denying yourself means yielding to God's control and saying no to your own desires. Taking up your cross involves willingly enduring shame and suffering for Christ's sake, publicly displaying your allegiance to Him. Following Jesus means living as He lived with humility, compassion, and grace. This daily decision to die to self is challenging but necessary for true discipleship. The choice is between temporary worldly gains and eternal significance. With God's Spirit empowering us, we can do hard things and discover a life of purpose and meaning rather than mere existence.

In chapter 6 of Sinclair Ferguson's "Devoted to God," we explore sanctification not as a burden of self-effort, but as learning a new rhythm. This is living in the rhythm of heaven itself. Like Russian dolls fitting perfectly together, the Christian life reveals layers that all point to the same truth: God's grace comes first, and our obedience flows from what He has already done.Through Colossians 3:1-17, Ferguson shows us that grace doesn't just rescue us from sin's penalty; it retrains our hearts. We're not merely forgiven. We need to see that we're being recreated from the inside out. This is the Spirit teaching us to dance to a new beat, transforming us through our union with Christ.The new rhythm involves both putting off and putting on. We shed the old wardrobe of anger, lust, greed, and pride. We are not doing this for moral improvement, but because those clothes no longer fit. We are new creatures in Christ. Instead, we clothe ourselves with compassion, kindness, meekness, patience, forgiveness, and love. These aren't abstract virtues; they are reflections of Jesus himself.Sanctification begins with a change of identity before it ever becomes a change of behavior. This rhythm isn't frantic or forced, but it's peaceful. The music of the gospel is not a mundane march, but more like a heartbeat.

PASTOR MARK BOER | FEBRUARY 25, 2026

Hebrews 12:14 says that there is a sanctification (or holiness) without which no one will see the Lord. Does this mean that some believers won't be holy enough to see God?This was Jamal's question when he called in from Florida to our radio program. In this short , I address the meaning of sanctification and the healthy interpretation of Hebrews 12.Enjoy!

What are you drawing on for strength—your circumstances, your abilities, or the power of Christ?In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef reminds us that only Christ's resurrection power can truly satisfy the empty heart, defeat temptation, and exchange our weakness for His strength. Earthly assets and “wins” may look impressive, but they're nothing compared to the transforming power of Jesus.This devotional also sounds a loving warning: when life is going well, it's easy to drift back into independence and forget the Source of real joy. That's why we must stay alert to spiritual stagnation and choose growth—even when growth stretches us.You'll be encouraged by Scripture's call to keep pressing forward:Run with perseverance, throwing off sin and fixing your eyes on Jesus (Hebrews 12:1–2).Press on toward the goal, forgetting what's behind and straining toward what's ahead (Philippians 3:13–14).If you've been tempted to coast, quit, or rely on comfort instead of Christ, this episode will re-center your heart on the One whose power never runs out—and whose grace meets you in the struggle.Scripture Focus: Psalm 147:5 The voice you hear on the MY Devotional podcast is digitally generated with Dr. Youssef's permission. If today's devotional stirred a question, burden, or need for prayer, you don't have to walk through it alone.

What does holiness look like? J.C. Ryle explains:True sanctification then does not consist in talk about religion.True sanctification does not consist in temporary religious feelings.True sanctification does not consist in outward formalism and external devoutness.Sanctification does not consist in retirement from our place in life, and the renunciation of our social duties.Sanctification does not consist in the occasional performance of right actions. (p. 32)Genuine sanctification will show itself in habitual respect to God's law, and habitual effort to live in obedience to it as the rule of life.Genuine sanctification will show itself in an habitual endeavor to do Christ's will, and to live by His practical precepts.Genuine sanctification will show itself in an habitual desire to live up to the standard which St. Paul sets before the churches in his writings.Genuine sanctification will show itself in habitual attention to the active graces which our Lord so beautifully exemplified, and especially to the grace of charity.Genuine sanctification, in the last place, will show itself in habitual attention to the passive graces of Christianity.For more information about this group, please visit their website at reformationboise.com.

In verses 7-8 of chapter 4, Paul continues his emphasis on sanctification and his stern warning about sexual sin. He notes that to disobey in this area is to sin against God, “who gives his Holy Spirit to you.” 

Everyone has weaknesses—but not everyone knows what to do with them.In this episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef exposes a subtle trap the enemy uses to keep believers restless: refusing to confront our weaknesses. Whether your struggle is physical, emotional, mental, or spiritual, unresolved weakness can breed discontentment and quietly drain your joy—unless you apply God's grace to the very places that hurt.Dr. Youssef takes you to Paul's “thorn in the flesh” and the breakthrough lesson God taught him:“My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness” (2 Corinthians 12:9).You'll discover why the most important part of any trial isn't the struggle itself—but how you respond to it. If you've ever felt like God's grace “isn't enough,” this episode helps you diagnose what's really happening: either you're fixated on the problem instead of His grace, or you're avoiding the issue entirely. The way forward is not denial or despair—it's honest dependence on Christ.You'll also be reminded that Jesus is not distant from your struggle. He understands your weakness with compassion—and He invites you to come to Him for strength and mercy (Hebrews 4:15).Scripture Focus: 2 Corinthians 12:9 The voice you hear on the MY Devotional podcast is digitally generated with Dr. Youssef's permission. If today's devotional stirred a question, burden, or need for prayer, you don't have to walk through it alone.

What if the first miracle God ever did for His people wasn't parting the Red Sea — but simply letting them know He knew them? In this first message of our new series The Four Cups, Pastor Stephen Mizell unpacks the ancient Passover tradition rooted in Exodus 6:6-7 and shows how God's four promises — "I will bring you out, I will free you, I will redeem you, I will take you as my own" — are a roadmap for every believer's journey with Him. Before God changes your habits, He changes your identity. Before He fixes your behavior, He establishes who you belong to. That's the Cup of Sanctification — and it all begins with knowing God. Key Takeaways: Salvation is the starting line, not the finish line — God wants to restore you, not just rescue you Sanctification means set apart, not perfect — it's about position, not performance God introduces Himself before He changes your circumstances You can't know your purpose until you know your Purpose Giver Knowing God isn't a one-time event — it's a growing, circular journey Scripture References: Exodus 6:6–7 Acts 17 (God's purpose for the nations) Psalm 139 (You saw me before I was born) Ephesians 1:17–18 Romans 12:1–2 Open Door Church exists to help people Know God, Find Freedom, Discover Purpose, and Make a Difference.

In DTWOL… Who Is My Neighbor?, this Godcast invites you to step onto the road Jesus describes in Luke 10 and confront the difference between merely existing and truly living. Moving beyond proximity, familiarity, and convenience. The episode reveals how neighbor is defined by compassion in motion and love that acts. Through Scripture and reflection, the Good Samaritan is shown not only as an example to imitate, but as a picture of Jesus Himself—the One who moved toward us when we were fallen, bore the full cost of our rescue, and promised to return. This episode calls disciples out of self-justification and into Spirit-led obedience, where interruptions become divine appointments and everyday roads become holy ground. I pray it blesses your time, and encourages you to imitate Jesus, amen? God's Word:  Key verses: Luke 10:25–37; James 1:22–24; Galatians 5:16; Matthew 22:34–40; Matthew 5:17; Ephesians 2:1; Romans 5:8. Colossians 1:13; Additional Scripture references are woven throughout the Godcast and can be gleaned from the full transcript. Amen?Email: walkingtheway3@gmail.com

In this episode of Satisfied, the discussion continues around the question, “Was I born this way?” Rather than defaulting to the common cultural binary of heterosexual or homosexual identity, this episode explores a biblical category many have overlooked: those whom Jesus described as “born eunuchs” in Matthew 19:12. The conversation challenges assumptions about sexual desire, identity, and calling, and presents a compelling case that some individuals may be uniquely designed by God for a life of devoted, undistracted service to the King. Topics Discussed Recap of Romans 1 and the role of vain imaginations in shaping identity The difference between corruption and perversion Propensity toward sin vs. absence of sexual desire Matthew 19:12 and the three types of eunuchs Jesus describes The historical role and significance of eunuchs in ancient kingdoms The concept of intentional singleness and grace for chastity Cultural pressure equating victory with heterosexual marriage The vulnerability of those who lack sexual desire False identity formation through misplaced belonging The power of being understood in moments of isolation Reframing “born this way” through the lens of calling and purpose Viewing singleness not as deficiency, but as strategic kingdom design Key Takeaways Not every lack of heterosexual desire equals homosexual orientation. Jesus explicitly acknowledges individuals born without sexual desire. The absence of sexual desire is not a defect but may be a divine design. The church must stop presenting heterosexual marriage as the only vision of victory. Those uniquely designed for singleness may be called to powerful, focused kingdom service. Identity confusion often grows in environments where vulnerability meets misunderstanding. God does not make mistakes in design; He assigns purpose with intention. A life of undistracted devotion is not second-tier Christianity, but a high calling. Victory over deceptive thoughts starts early, before consideration turns into acceptance.

If you're trying to grow closer to Jesus and keep hitting resistance, you're not alone—and you're not failing. In today's MY Devotional, Dr. Michael Youssef shows why obstacles are part of the journey of faith and how your response to them can either stifle spiritual growth or strengthen it.You'll learn the three common blockers that quietly weaken intimacy with Christ:An inability to accept correction — A teachable heart is a clear sign of maturity. How you respond when a godly believer points out blind spots reveals a lot about your love for Jesus.An unwillingness to change — Sanctification means continual growth. The moment we stop changing, we step into spiritual danger.Confusing the journey for the destination — Are you living as a citizen of this world with a passing interest in heaven, or as a citizen of heaven passing through this world? (Philippians 3:20–21)This episode will help you reframe spiritual resistance, recognize what's holding you back, and pursue Jesus with renewed focus—right where you are.Scripture Focus: Colossians 1:9–10 The voice you hear on the MY Devotional podcast is digitally generated with Dr. Youssef's permission. If today's devotional stirred a question, burden, or need for prayer, you don't have to walk through it alone.

Join us each week for a brief encouraging word from Pastor Roger Hirth or one of our associate pastors.

Justification and sanctification—these two words don’t often come up in everyday conversation. And yet, these two words are active and working in the life of every Christian! Pastor Mike Fabarez provides an introduction, or maybe a refresher, on being justified and being sanctified.

In this episode, we kick off our "Life On Purpose" series by redefining what it means to be in a relationship with God. Many of us view salvation as a past event—a "street we wander"—rather than a path we walk.Key Takeaways from this Episode:Event vs. Process: Understanding that we must both accept Christ (the event) and continue to follow Him (the process).Relational Restoration: Moving past legalistic "Justification" into a covenant family relationship.The Three Pillars of Salvation: A deep dive into Justification, Sanctification, and Glorification.Defeating Deception: How to identify the "traps on the path" and use the Truth of Scripture to combat cultural lies regarding life, gender, marriage, and sin.
