Trusting God with Jackie Hill Perry


Listen Later

Hey friends! On the show today, the brilliant Jackie Hill Perry joins me to talk all about her new book, Holier Than Thou (isn’t that a great title?!), why she wrote the book, and how we can trust God because He is Holy, and not in a scary, rigid way we may have heard growing up in the Church. 

Jackie Hill Perry is a mom, writer, poet, and artist whose work has been featured in the Washington Times, The 700 Club, Desiring God, The Gospel Coalition, and other publications. Since becoming a Christian in 2008, she uses her speaking and teaching gifts to share the light of the gospel of God as authentically as she can. 

We also dive into a variety of topics such as the crisis of discipleship and holding others accountable, how we are wasting time not to trust God, and why believers should care about God’s holiness. 

Listen in to learn more about: 

  1. How idols are unholy and insufficient to be God for us. The fact that God is alive makes Him sufficient as a Savior for us. 
  • What believers get wrong about God’s holiness
  • How suffering and sin, in so many ways, have protected us against God. We need to remember that if God cannot sin, He cannot sin against you.  
  • Favorite quotes:

    1. Discipleship is simply allowing someone in your life, or being in someone’s life where you can not only observe how they live but also be taught how they live.


    2. We need people in our lives to impart wisdom and we need people in our lives that we can impart wisdom to.


    3. God’s holiness is not just his moral purity but it's also his transcendence. The fact that he exists differently from us, that he is a creator not a creature. He is external, he is not finite.     


    4. Caring about God’s holiness is caring about God himself.

    5. It’s always going to fail you if you don’t know God.
