013: You Want Glory? Be Holy
In this episode, I share what God has been showing me about holiness and how my view of it is changing.
More and more, holiness is not feeling dull, lifeless, or restrictive to me. It is starting to feel beautiful.
To be holy is to be set apart for God. To belong to Him. To reflect His character more clearly in every area of life.
And I’m realizing that holiness is not God calling us to become blank, colorless people. He is not making us less ourselves. He is making us into what we were always meant to be: lives that bear His image well.
I talk about how this shift feels similar to the way my understanding of heaven changed as I got older. What once felt flat and sterile has become, through Scripture, something far richer, fuller, weightier, and more alive. Holiness is beginning to feel that way too.
Not stale.
Not small.
Not merely behavior modification.
But a real shaping. A sanctifying. A making fit for the Master’s use.
I also share an update about a home we looked at this week, and why it was not the right fit.
If I’m honest, I do not even know how we would get approved for a mortgage right now or how any of that would come together. But even in that, I found myself wondering if maybe the Lord is being kind to me.
Maybe He is preparing me for the weight of the glory of home, so that home itself will not become my identity, my source of joy, or my reason for existing.
Maybe some things are not withheld because God is cruel.
Maybe they are withheld because He is merciful.
Because weight reveals what is underneath. And God, in His kindness, prepares us before He places more on us.
In this episode:
- why my view of holiness is changing
- how holiness is starting to feel beautiful, freeing, and full of life
- why holiness is not the same thing as legalism
- how God sanctifies what He saves
- why the Lord often prepares us before He gives us more
- a personal update on the home we looked at this week
- why I think even that disappointment may be mercy
📖 Scripture referenced
1 Peter 1:15–16
Romans 8:18
Romans 8:29
John 15
