© 2024 Embodied Holiness
Description
Holiness is one of those words that seems out of reach and reserved only for God or the super spiritual. But Jesus taught us that holiness can become a reality in the everyday moments and events of our lives. So, if we take Jesus seriously, what would it look like to embody holiness on a chaotic Tuesday morning? What would it sound like to embody holiness when we're running late or having a stressful conversation with our spouse?
In each episode, we'll address an everyday topic and discuss the specific challenges of embodying holiness in that aspect of life. We'll share resources we've found helpful to our own spiritual journeys and share our stories of growth and failure. We'll also be joined by special guests from time to time. If you're interested in learning how to grow in holiness, you're in the right place. Thanks for joining us on the journey!
