Episode Synopsis

Send us a textA single verse in the Bible holds the power to completely reset your spiritual life. In this deeply reflective episode, Pastors Jim and Lee unpack the transformative message of 2 Corinthians 7:1, revealing a three-step approach to spiritual renewal that can change everything about how you walk with God.What does it truly mean to "cleanse ourselves from every defilement of body and spirit"? The pastors address this challenging question with refreshing honesty and practical wisdom. Rather than offering quick fixes or surface-level solutions, they dig into the heart of what motivates lasting spiritual change - God's unwavering promises to us."You don't need a better you; you simply need a new you." This powerful distinction cuts through the self-improvement mentality that plagues many Christians. The conversation tackles common misconceptions about spiritual growth, particularly the idea that we must clean ourselves up before coming to God. As Pastor Lee emphasizes, "We don't clean up first and then get saved. We clean up because we are saved."One of the most illuminating segments explores what it means to fear God with reverence rather than terror. Using the analogy of a parent-child relationship, the pastors paint a picture of healthy spiritual reverence that motivates us not out of dread of punishment, but from a deep desire not to disappoint the One who loves us perfectly.Whether you're struggling with setting boundaries in relationships that pull you away from God, battling habitual sin, or simply seeking a deeper connection with your Heavenly Father, this episode offers a blueprint for spiritual renewal grounded in God's promises. Take the first step today toward bringing "holiness to completion in the fear of God."Support the show
