In the Faith Recovery Podcast episode titled 'God’s Gym – Redefining Faith #9', three former pastors tackle the often misunderstood concept of sanctification. They challenge the traditional belief that sanctification is about reducing sins and increasing good deeds. Instead, they argue that it’s an ongoing process of being saved from worldly ways through the faith of Christ received by believing the gospel. This episode is a deep dive into how faith can transform lives beyond just following rules and rituals.
The hosts share their personal journeys and reflections on what it means to truly live a life of faith. They discuss how real sanctification involves relinquishing control and outcomes, focusing instead on loving others without expecting anything in return. This approach, they suggest, frees individuals to experience a more genuine and fulfilling faith. One of the standout moments in the episode is the discussion on crucifixion and self-denial.
The hosts explain that true crucifixion is about giving up control and manipulation, not just denying oneself for the sake of others. This perspective encourages a more authentic form of love and service, unburdened by the need for recognition or reciprocation. The episode also critiques common church practices like discipleship programs that focus on behavioural changes through social pressure.
The hosts argue that these methods often fail to produce true spiritual vitality and can lead to a sense of bifurcation or split self. Instead, they advocate for a faith that transforms from within, driven by a genuine relationship with Christ rather than external pressures. If you’re seeking a fresh perspective on faith and sanctification, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice.
It’s a thought-provoking discussion that challenges conventional wisdom and invites you to reconsider what it means to live a life of true faith. Are you ready to redefine your understanding of sanctification? Tune in to hear these thought-provoking discussions and more.
