🌱 Episode Overview

In this deeply moving and spiritually rich conversation, Aaron, Carly, and Jeff explore the profound simplicity of becoming holy by simply accepting Jesus, rather than striving through self-effort. This episode reminds us that holiness begins with honesty before God and allowing His love to transform us from within. Jeff shares a powerful personal testimony of a worship moment that revealed how God hears our imperfect praises as beautiful and perfect in His ears.

They also touch on the parallels between the Exodus story and modern spiritual transformation, the difference between conviction and guilt, and how changing our heart posture can transform our prayers and lives.

🗝️ Core Topics Covered

• ​What it really means to become holy — beyond self-effort and striving.
• ​The power of conviction as a guide, not a guilt trip.
• ​Jeff’s life-changing experience of hearing worship through God’s ears.
• ​How God’s love invites honesty and healing in the hidden places of our hearts.
• ​The story behind Jeff’s journey from sculptor to musician and how God redeems our deepest desires.
• ​Walking in faith even when the "math isn’t mathing" — trusting God beyond what you can see.

📖 Key Quotes & Insights

✨ “It’s not about making yourself holy. It’s about accepting the One who is.” – Jeff Weitzel

✨ “Holiness is honesty. It’s not betraying yourself. It’s recognizing the places you haven’t yet let God’s goodness touch.” – Carly Tebbs

✨ “To God, the sound of our imperfect worship is the most overwhelmingly beautiful sound imaginable.” – Jeff Weitzel

Join the Millennial Mustard Seed for a -thought provoking voyage into the unusual, unexplained and unexplored facets of the world we live! Armed with a seeker's humility and a Biblical lens Millennial Mustard Seed never fails to inspire, provoke and intrigue listeners to deepen their faith.

Pete and Rod team up once again for another Mini Episode, this time to launch a series of Mini's, to take a closer and perhaps fresher look at what is often called Eternal Security, that is, the idea that those who have faith in Christ Jesus for their salvation are secure in that salvation.  But is that security unconditional? We'll attempt to provoke thoughts and then dive into scripture that will hopefully enhance our understanding of this critical doctrine, and we'll also contrast Eternal Security with OSAS, Once Saved Always Saved, trying to draw distinctions between them even though those two views are typically conflated.

Guest Introduction:

Laura Gallier is the acclaimed author of The Delusion series, a gripping young adult fiction series tackling themes like suicide, depression, and spiritual warfare. Laura is a sought-after speaker and is currently working to bring The Delusion to the big screen. Through her transparent journey of emotional healing and spiritual renewal, Laura’s message is a powerful reminder that authenticity, not performance, is the currency of God’s Kingdom.

• Website: LauraGallier.com

• Social Media: @LauraGallierOfficial

• How God leads us through the valley of the shadow of death—not around it—and why the "middle of the valley" is often where healing begins.

• The toxic cycle of performance-based Christianity and the invitation to authentic intimacy with God.

• How unresolved childhood trauma often underpins emotional and mental health struggles—and why God won’t let us carry old baggage into new seasons.

• The role of spiritual warfare in mental health, and why holistic healing must include the body, soul, and spirit.

• Laura’s behind-the-scenes look at writing The Delusion series and how her personal battles shaped the characters and storylines.

• Why the Western Church struggles with authenticity, and how to break free from a culture of performance to embrace God’s true freedom.

• “You cannot cast out a broken heart, and you cannot heal a demon. You have to know the difference.”

• “God’s correction is always wrapped in His tenderness. He doesn’t rush us out of our grief; He sits with us in it.”

S6 225. A.C.D – Nick Holistic, CS – The Mandemic Effect & Self Care is REAL Healthcare

Nick Long – @Nick Holistic
Nick Long is a 17-year veteran personal trainer and passionate advocate for holistic living, biblical masculinity, and spiritual growth. A core leader in the Men of Iron Group and a close brother in Christ, Nick brings a powerful testimony of overcoming anxiety, generational trauma, and fear. His insights on health, identity, and faith are rooted in real-life experience and a heart devoted to walking with Christ.

Nick’s Bio:
I am passionate about holistic living and seek to empower people to enjoy more freedom in their body, soul, and spirit by harnessing the power of God's creation and His natural laws. I believe we are meant to move our bodies daily and eat to live, not live to eat. I also believe we are designed to be the light of the world, and a big part of letting our light shine is to love ourselves enough to invest in our own health and wellbeing, taking great care of the body that's been given to us.

• Private prayer produces public power: The secret to walking in spiritual authority.

• The value of accountability and real brotherhood in spiritual growth.

• “The name of the Lord is a strong tower... but are we really running to it or still trying to hide behind our fears?”

• “Biblical masculinity isn’t about chest-beating dominance—it’s about servant leadership, humility, and sacrificial love.”

• “Private prayer produces public power. What you do in secret will manifest in authority when you step out into the world.”

• “Self-care isn’t selfish—it’s stewardship. Honor God by honoring the body He’s entrusted to you.”
