Podcasts about Sanctification

Our guest host today is Fortis Institute Fellow Libby Glosson from The Better Way Podcast! Segment 1 • Culture says “follow your feelings,” while influencers say “crush them”, and neither is biblical. • The Stoic mindset promises control, but offers counterfeit freedom. • God feels holy emotions - we shouldn't be afraid of ours. Segment 2 • The Bible doesn't say “suck it up”, but submit emotions to truth. • Even “hidden” feelings like anger or fear can be sinful if they contradict God's Word. • What do your emotions reveal about what you worship? Segment 3 • Emotional exhibitionism turns private feelings into public performances. • Oversharing isn't always authenticity—it can be manipulation masked as vulnerability. • Biblical modesty isn't just about clothing, but we carry our hearts, too. Segment 4 • What does it mean to show our emotions indecently? • True modesty humbles the heart—no gushing, no tantrums, no self-advertising. • Sanctification shapes not just your mind and behavior, but your emotions too. ___ Thanks for listening!

Today is day 364 and we are studying the section on Justification and Sanctification: Living in Forgiveness and Healing. 367. For what does sanctification prepare you? Sanctification enables me to serve and bear witness to Christ in this life, and prepares me for the glory of God in the world to come. There I will be completely freed from sin and conformed to the likeness of my Lord, whom I will see face-to-face. (Matthew 5:16; 1 Corinthians 13:9–13; 2 Corinthians 3:17–18; 1 John 3:1–3) We will conclude today by praying Prayer 72.For Knowing and Loving God found on page 668 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).

In this episode, Sathiya Sam shares his journey from addiction to freedom, highlighting the biblical call to sexual integrity and holiness. This episode focuses on how believers can establish their hearts and live as integrity ambassadors in a broken world. Through his testimony and practical insights, Sathiya explains why overcoming sexual sin is not about surface-level solutions, but a heart transformation that aligns convictions with lifestyle. He challenges listeners to pursue true freedom through the Holy Spirit, not just behavior modification, and emphasizes the importance of building self-awareness, healing the heart, and embracing a new identity in Christ.   Know more about Sathiya's work: Join Deep Clean Inner Circle - The Brotherhood You Neeed (+ get coached by Sathiya) For Less Than $2/day Submit Your Questions (Anonymously) To Be Answered On The Podcast Get A Free Copy of The Last Relapse, Your Blueprint For Recovery Watch Sathiya on Youtube For More Content Like This   Chapters: (00:00) Be Patient: Establishing the Heart (James 5) (01:00) Testimony: From Addiction to Freedom (03:00) Salvation vs. Sanctification (05:30) A Wicked World & a Spotless Bride (08:20) Blessed but Broken: Integrity vs. Success (10:45) Why Deep Clean Exists (12:45) The Sexual Sin Crisis in the Church (15:10) Integrity Ambassadors Explained (16:45) What Integrity Really Means (18:15) Sexual Sin: A Sin Against the Body (20:40) Jesus on Lust: Heart Before Behavior (23:10) Sexual Morality vs. Immorality (26:45) Early Exposure & Long-Term Damage (28:30) Why Common Solutions Don't Work (29:00) Pillar 1: Building Self-Awareness (37:15) Pillar 2: Healing & Transforming the Heart (45:00) Pillar 3: Shifting Identity in Christ (49:55) Living Patiently as Jesus Returns (55:15) Commitment, Confession & Costly Obedience (01:12:05) Becoming Integrity Ambassadors

This episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson takes a hard look at the growing contradictions surrounding Erika Kirk and the direction of TPUSA's AmFest (or should I say IsFest). From Charlie Kirk's own recorded warnings about bad cultural role models to TPUSA turning around and platforming those very same celebrities (Nicki Minaj included) whose lifestyles openly contradict Christian teaching, the hypocrisy is no longer ignorable.We're breaking down how moral inconsistency, pop-culture appeasement, and ideological confusion are rotting the conservative movement from the inside out. America First cannot exist without Christianity first—not as a buzzword, not as branding, but as the moral and cultural foundation of who we are. And right now, we are watching our spiritual and national identity slip away in real time.When so-called Christian leaders blur lines, excuse the very behavior they once condemned, and choose influence over truth, they don't just lose credibility, they lose the plot (and they lose the people who trusted them).This episode is a call for honesty, consistency, and real conservative leadership rooted in the Christian values they claim to stand for. Not clout, not platforms, and not sinful worldliness.We don't need people playing leaders.We need actual leadership.—https://www.bible.com/

What exactly are the “good works” believers are created for? This teaching shows how the Torah defines and equips good works (2 Tim 3:16–17), why Yeshua upholds the Law (Matt 5:17–19), and how the Spirit empowers obedience (Ezek 36:27; Rom 8:4). Scriptures (4–6): Ephesians 2:8–10; 2 Timothy 3:16–17; Matthew 5:16–19; Ezekiel 36:27; Romans 8:4; Revelation 14:12 Takeaway (1–2 sentences): We're not saved by works—we're saved for works Scripture defines. In Yeshua, by the Spirit, we walk in Torah-shaped love (John 14:15; 1 John 5:3).#goodworks #CreatedForGoodWorks #119Ministries  #TestEverything #Bible

Clip of the Week-“Sanctification” Brother Rudolph Esclavon “While walking out one evening, not knowing where to go, and just to pass the lonely hour my heart was troubled so. A band of holy people came singing with all their might, I gave my heart to Jesus enlisted in the fight.” In 1903 in Lake Charles, LA, Bro. Rudolph Esclavon heard the sanctified people preaching on the street corner. Out of curiosity he stopped to hear what they had to say. He realized his lost condition when they preached that without holiness, “no man shall see the Lord”.  He then gave his all to Jesus and enlisted in the fight. In this sermon from Camp Meeting 1952, he preaches a powerful message on the necessary work of sanctification. Bro. Jeff Price  

Stay Salty: Mark 9:49-50 Explained – What Jesus Taught about Suffering, Sanctification & Hell What does Jesus mean when He says "Everyone will be salted with fire" and "Have salt in yourselves"? In this expository message on Mark 9:49-50, we unpack one of the most difficult and controversial passages in the Gospels. Discover why suffering is the fire that makes Christians "salty," how losing your saltiness is a real and terrifying danger, and why Jesus ends with the command to "be at peace with each other." Key Topics: "Salted with fire" – Is this about hell, suffering, or Old Testament sacrifice? Why suffering refines and sanctifies believers (and why it's good to be "salty") If you enjoy the episode, please consider subscribing to the podcast and leaving a 5-star rating.

Pastor Aaron Preloc Preaches Through Matthew 22:37-40.

Dave Rich delivers a comprehensive examination of Christian ethics by exploring the biblical lists of virtues and vices found throughout Scripture. This message focuses on the attribute dimension of Christian ethics, demonstrating how virtues like faith, love, and the fear of God shape godly character while vices such as sexual immorality, selfish ambition, and jealousy must be actively resisted.Rich emphasizes the inseparable connection between Christian ethics and sanctification, showing that both righteous deeds and godly character flow from the Holy Spirit's work in believers. The teaching reveals that pursuing Christian ethics requires understanding sanctification as God's ongoing work—never reaching perfection in this life, yet always moving toward Christlikeness. Dave challenges believers to recognize that cultivating biblical virtues and avoiding destructive vices is fundamentally the Spirit's work accomplished through surrendered, obedient effort. This comprehensive approach to Christian ethics demonstrates the centrality of the gospel in ethical living.Download Notes | Download Presentation ★ Support this podcast ★

The Person of the Holy Spirit: SanctificationRomans 8:2-17Wednesday (12-17-25) night Bible Study

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

St. Paul thanks God that the Thessalonians are not among those deceived by the devil. God has made them brothers in the Church by choosing them from the beginning for salvation. This has happened through the work of the Spirit in the means of grace. The apostle thus urges the Thessalonians to stand firm in this tradition. Paul prays in confidence that God will comfort and establish the Thessalonians in His grace for every good work and word.  Rev. James Preus, pastor at Trinity Lutheran Church in Ottumwa, IA, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study 2 Thessalonians 2:13-17.  To learn more about Trinity in Ottumwa, visit trinitylutheranottumwa.com. “Yearning for the Day of Christ's Returning” is a mini-series on Sharper Iron that studies St. Paul's two epistles to the Thessalonians. Although Paul's time in Thessalonica was brief, he had great affection for the Christians there. His two letters to the Thessalonians show us the joy that God gives us together in the Church and encourage us to live faithfully in expectation of Jesus' coming on the Last Day.  Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners. Two pastors engage with God's Word to sharpen not only their own faith and knowledge, but the faith and knowledge of all who listen. Submit comments or questions to: listener@kfuo.org

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.

In this interview with Dr. James Renihan, we discuss Artcile XXVIV of the First London Baptist Confession of Faith.

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 this episode of G220 Radio, we explore one of the most clear and powerful statements in Scripture concerning God's will for His people: “For this is the will of God, your sanctification” (1 Thessalonians 4:3). Many believers wrestle with discerning God's will for their lives, but the apostle Paul leaves no uncertainty—God wills that His people be holy, set apart, and conformed to the image of Christ. Join us as we walk through what sanctification is, how Scripture defines it, and how the Holy Spirit works in the life of every true believer. We'll discuss the difference between definitive and progressive sanctification, examine the marks of genuine spiritual growth, and highlight the ordinary means God uses to transform His people—His Word, prayer, fellowship, and even trials. This episode aims to equip believers to understand this vital doctrine more deeply, to find encouragement in God's ongoing work within them, and to pursue holiness with confidence, knowing that God Himself is the One who sanctifies. Tune in as we open the Word of God and apply this foundational truth to the Christian life.

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. This is where faith moves beyond awareness into obedience, beyond belief into witness, and beyond comfort into calling. You'll hear the truth of God's eternal love in John 3:16, the personal entry point of salvation in Romans 10, the renewing work of Romans 12, the revealed glory of Jesus in the Gospels, and the sending force of the Great Commission. Whether you're seeking truth, newly awakened in Christ, growing deeper in faith, or discipling others—this episode calls you deeper, steadier, rooted, and closer to the heart of God. Go grab your tanks… and let's dive in! God's Word:Key Passages: John 3:16; Romans 10:8–10; Romans 12:2; Psalm 139:16–18; Philippians 2:13; John 16:13; Matthew 28:18–20.

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.

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.

Happy Thanksgiving! Welcome back to the Disciple Hinson Podcast. We are continuing our walk through the statement of faith meditating on what we believe as a church family. You will be helped by following along with this handout. In this episode, we dive into Article 10: Of Sanctification to think about how God transforms us to be more like Christ through His Spirit and the means of grace.

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.

John ponders whether AI will take our podcasting jobs and hates when his favorite shows "jump the shark.” Meanwhile, Jonnie gets a WAY too firm handshake from an audience member and gets suspicious of the woman who survived 3 famous ship disasters Plus, a conversation about Sanctification, Niceness, and why we are (hopefully) falling down an up escalator. Today's episode is NOT sponsored by The Stock Market: "It's like a casino, but with less regulation!"
