Podcasts about sanctifying

Ever felt so overwhelmed you just wanted to quit? Pastor Mike Fabarez reveals that even biblical heroes like Moses, Elijah, and Paul reached their breaking point. But God's response to their despair contains a powerful truth about why you're still breathing today. This encouraging message helps believers rediscover their divine purpose when circumstances make life feel unbearable.

I. Negative Duties II. Positive Duties

SummaryIn this stirring message from Wayman Wednesday, Pastor Wayman Mitchell calls believers to a life of radical commitment, sacrifice, and sanctification. Using Acts 21 as his primary text, Pastor Mitchell challenges Christians to remove all boundaries in serving God—whether in ministry, outreach, holiness, or personal sacrifice.With vivid illustrations from military service, missionary work, and scripture, he confronts the modern church's comfort-driven mindset and calls for a generation willing to say, “Whatever it takes” to fulfill the will of God.Key Scriptures:Acts 21:10–14, 261 Timothy 1:12Jonah 1:1–32 Corinthians 4:5, 12:15Nehemiah 4:13–151 Thessalonians 4:3–4Titus 2:11–12Chapters00:00 – Introduction: Wayman Wednesday on Taking the Land Podcast01:36 – A Conference Filled with God's Presence03:58 – The World's Mentality: No Longer Worth Fighting For04:53 – The Church's Need for Paul's Spirit07:10 – Commitment Over Personal Preference08:35 – Choosing God Over Secular Priorities10:06 – The Will of the Lord Be Done12:03 – Lessons from Military Commitment13:47 – Guerrilla Teams & Outreach Mindset15:53 – Understanding We Are at War17:19 – No Excuses: Whatever It Takes18:51 – Sacrifice: A Lost Word in Today's Church20:54 – Paul's Willingness to Suffer for Christ23:01 – Examples of “Whatever It Takes” in Scripture24:43 – Sanctification in a Prophetic Generation26:20 – Holiness vs. Religious Appearance27:42 – The Call to Purification and Set-Apart Living29:52 – Possessing Your Vessel in Honor31:08 – Avoiding Sinful Entertainment31:36 – Holiness is for Every Believer33:39 – Sanctifying the Lord in Your Heart34:28 – Removing Boundaries in Serving God35:43 – Whatever It Takes: Even in Giving36:54 – Consecration in Attitudes and Relationships38:29 – Reverence in Prayer39:34 – Biblical Responses to God's Presence40:51 – Isaiah's Vision of the Lord41:13 – Jacob's Encounter with God42:07 – Closing Challenge: Whatever It TakesShow NotesALL PROCEEDS GO TO WORLD EVANGELISMLocate a CFM Church near you: https://cfmmap.orgWe need five-star reviews!

These two types of grace are not passive—they are deeply active in refining and legitimizing us before God.

Peter again reminds that suffering, fiery trial, is expected and normal in the Christian experience. Sharing Christ's sufferings is a privilege that is to be welcomed with rejoicing, while suffering as an evildoer is shameful. Our behavior in this life gives indication of our eternal outcome. Judgment begins at the household of God so, if the righteous is scarcely saved, what will become of the ungodly and the sinner? Peter concludes that Christians, suffering while doing good, are to continually entrust their souls to a faithful creator.

Behar/Bechukosai - Sanctifying Our Body

Jewish Faith & Jewish Facts with Rabbi Steven Garten. Aired: May 25th, 2025 on CHRI Radio 99.1FM in Ottawa, Canada. For questions, email Rabbi Garten at rabbishg@templeisraelottawa.com For more CHRI shows, visit chri.ca

Hebrews 10:23-25 So many of the New Testament exhortations calling the child of God to humility and love, forbearance and kindness, forgiveness and patience can only be carried out if one is found in fellowship as part of a local assembly. God has designed the Church and placed you as a member to perfect you in sanctification. As the saying goes, iron sharpens iron, and friction, when brought to the cross, begets holiness! 

Send us a textThe sanctification of God's name stands as Judaism's most profound obligation—a mitzvah that transcends mere religious observance to become the very embodiment of what it means to be Jewish. Through an exploration of Parshat Emor, we discover that Kiddush Hashem goes far beyond the dramatic act of martyrdom most commonly associated with it.Did you know that when you resist temptation in private, with no witnesses except the Almighty, you fulfill this sacred commandment? Or that your responsibility scales directly with how others perceive your religious standing? These are just two of the seven profound dimensions of Kiddush Hashem revealed in this exploration.The mitzvah derives its power from our fundamental relationship with God established during the Exodus. Having been slaves entitled to nothing, our entire existence flows from divine grace. This recognition forms the foundation for our commitment to represent God faithfully in the world—whether in business transactions, casual interactions with strangers, or private moments of spiritual struggle.Most striking is the teaching that accidental desecration carries the same weight as intentional wrongdoing when it comes to God's reputation. The impact on observers remains the same regardless of our intent, reminding us to move through the world with heightened awareness of how our actions might be perceived.Through compelling stories of rabbis who understood the gravity of this responsibility, we witness how even small interactions—like properly greeting an elevator attendant—can become powerful moments of divine sanctification. Every Jewish person serves as God's ambassador, with the power to shape how others view not just Judaism, but the Almighty Himself.Take this journey through one of Judaism's most foundational concepts and discover how you can transform everyday moments into opportunities to bring honor to God's name.

Rav Kook's Vision: Halakhah, Secular Knowledge, and the Renewal of Judaism. Those of us who know something about Rabbi Abraham Isaac HaKohen Kook's life and philosophy know about his being stuck outside of the Land of Israel during WWI, being the first Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi of British Mandatory Palestine, and his encouragement of the secular Zionists who turned swamps into vegetation. But not many of us have analyzed the personal notebooks that the Rav left, commonly known as Shemonah Kevatzim (eight collections). Recently, I had the privilege of sitting down with Professor Marc B. Shapiro author of the acclaimed new book, Renewing the Old, Sanctifying the New: The Unique Vision of Rav Kook (Littman Library, 2025). Our conversation ranged from the philosophical underpinnings of Rav Kook's thought to its relevance for modern Orthodoxy and contemporary Jewish life. Using the notebooks and other information Marc B. Shapiro's Renewing the Old, Sanctifying the New offers a window into the philosophical heart of Rav Kook's approach to halakhah and secular knowledge, using Rav Kook's own words to illuminate his radical, yet deeply rooted, vision for modern Judaism. I found it important to use those words and quotes when discussing the topic with Professor Shapiro. Rav Kook's words speak volumes – and you'll hear them throughout the interview.

Why treating the church sanctuary with reverence matters

There are three offices that belong to the episcopal college: the teaching office, the sanctifying office, and the governing office. Fr. Mike gives us an overview of the functions within these offices and clarifies the charism of infallibility in matters of faith and morals. As we learn about the authority of the episcopal college, Fr. Mike encourages us to approach the teachings of the Church with docility. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 888-896.

This combined segment highlights mounting frustration over Democratic support for Gilmar Abrego Garcia, an accused MS-13 member with a record of domestic violence and human trafficking. While Democrats advocate for his release, critics expose repeated protective orders and Interpol alerts tied to Garcia. In contrast, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is praised for empowering state officers to enforce immigration law, prompting calls for other Republican governors—like South Carolina's Henry McMaster—to take similar action amid growing concerns over criminal illegal immigrants.

 If we believe our salvation to be of grace, we must not rely on our works after that. The Spirit that saves is the same Spirit that sanctifies.

Most Catholic men have never heard of St. Gregory of Narek—and that needs to change. This 10th-century Armenian monk, poet, and theologian was a powerhouse of prayer, a master of humility, and a man who understood suffering better than most. In 2015, Pope Francis declared him a Doctor of the Church, yet his writings remain largely unknown to many Catholics.So, who was this saint? Why does his Book of Lamentations still speak to us today? And what does his life teach us about the power of prayer, repentance, and God's mercy?In this episode, we dive deep into:✅ Why Gregory's Book of Lamentations is a must-read for Catholic men ✅ The raw power of prayer and why most of us neglect it ✅ The connection between humility and true strength ✅ The lesson every man needs to embrace: You cannot do this alone ✅ How his life mirrors St. Paul's call to boast in weakness so that Christ's power can work through usThis is more than a history lesson. It's a challenge—to rethink your prayer life, to embrace humility, and to make God's mercy your foundation.Lent is coming. Will you let God transform your heart?3 Powerful Quotes from the Episode:“Prayer is not just a religious duty—it is a deep, personal conversation with God. And yet, how often do we forget to actually talk to Him?”“If we are so focused on our own strength, our own abilities, where are we making space for God? Pride shuts the door on grace.”“God's mercy is the foundation of everything. Without it, we are lost. St. Gregory's writings remind us of this over and over again.”Stop trying to white-knuckle your way through life. St. Gregory teaches that real strength comes through humility, prayer, and total reliance on God's mercy. A man who refuses to ask for help—whether from God or his brothers in Christ—will always fall. Drop the pride. Pick up the habit of prayer.Referenced in the Episode:The Book of Lamentations by St. Gregory of Narek2 Corinthians 12:9—“My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”The importance of confession, prayer, and humility in the spiritual lifeThe Manly Catholic's St. Joseph's Lenten Series – Daily reflections starting March 5thIf you're ready to deepen your faith and take your prayer life seriously, hit play now.Please prayerfully consider supporting the podcast on our Buy Me A Coffee page. to help grow the show to reach as many men as possible!

Brothers, we live in an age of confusion. The world twists truth, waters down faith, and even distorts who Christ is. But this is nothing new. The Church has faced heresies before—falsehoods that threatened to shake the very foundation of Christianity. And one man, St. Cyril of Alexandria, refused to let the lies stand.In this episode, we dive deep into the life of a fearless defender of the faith. Cyril crushed one of the most dangerous heresies in history—the Nestorian heresy—which denied Mary as the Mother of God and distorted the truth about Christ's divinity. His battle for truth is just as relevant today as it was in 431 AD.You will learn: 

Jon and Kevin discuss what Jesus meant when he said He was going to sanctify Himself in the book of John.
