Episode 362: Called to Be Saints — Embracing Holiness in Everyday Life

Are we really called to be saints… even in the middle of busy, ordinary life?

In this episode of A Few Minutes with God, we explore what it truly means to be called to sainthood—not as a lofty, unreachable goal reserved for monks or martyrs, but as a daily invitation for every believer.

As the holidays approach and life feels increasingly full, it can be difficult to focus on prayer, holiness, or even quiet moments with the Lord. Yet Scripture reminds us that sainthood is not about perfection—it’s about total commitment to God, lived out one faithful step at a time.

Through Scripture, real-life stories, and reflections on well-known saints, we are reminded that holiness often looks like small acts done with great love.

In This Episode, You’ll Discover:
  • What Scripture means when it says we are called to be saints

  • Why sainthood isn’t reserved for clergy or religious life

  • How fear often keeps us from fully surrendering to God

  • Why saints can be described as “rebels for God”

  • Lessons from modern examples of faith lived boldly

  • Encouragement from the life of Mother Teresa and her hidden struggles

  • Practical, manageable steps to grow in holiness today

  • Why there is no “middle ground” when it comes to following Christ

    Scripture Featured:
    • James 1:17 – Every good and perfect gift comes from above

    • Romans 1:7 – Called to be saints

    • Joshua 24:15 – Choose this day whom you will serve

    • Philippians 4:13 – Strength through Christ

    • Philippians 4:7 – The peace that surpasses understanding

    • Matthew 6:16–18 – Fasting in humility

    • Ephesians 2:8–10 – Saved by grace, created for good works

      Simple Ways to Live the Call to Sainthood:
      • Put God first each day—even with a short prayer

      • Practice daily prayer, morning or night

      • Embrace small acts of self-denial or fasting

      • Make restitution when you’ve wronged others

      • Give generously to those in need

      • Share Christ through both words and actions

        Sainthood isn’t about being flawless—it’s about running toward God, especially when life is difficult. Whether you’re a parent, student, professional, or caregiver, your daily vocation is holy ground when offered to the Lord.

        “Not all of us can do great things, but we can do small things with great love.” — Mother Teresa
