In this final episode of our covenant series we are wrapping up in Revelation, and taking a look at the encouragment found there to hold fast to our witness while also talking about what could change if the church took her role of living in covenant seriously.
As new covenant people, we are still very much at risk to fall into idolatry and waywardness. This is where Johnâs encouragement in Revelation offers the covenant community hope. In our own strength we will always fall short, but in Christ we are made whole. Being unified with Christ requires covenantal obedience that is marked by reverence for the Lord. Holiness requires a high degree of consecration; consecration spurred on by love for God and a healthy, necessary, fear of Him, all while staying tethered to Jesus as our covenant mediator and king.

Today we're looking at new covenant, first through the lens of the major prophets, and then into the New Testament.
What sets the new covenant apart from the old is Christ as the sacrifice, becoming the perfect mediator between us and God, and as such, ushering in the Spirit of God to help empower a covenant people to live a transformed life, which begins in the heart.
The overarching theme througout this episode, is our own responsbility to be an active participant in covenant, which requires examining our own hearts and getting serious about rooting out anything that is in direct opposition to the character of God.

In this episode we are looking at what scholars call the pinnacle of the Old Testament. The Sinai Covenant (Mosaic Covenant). This event is the moment when everything in regards to Old Testament Covenant is clarified and consecrated. The whole purpose of this specific covenant is âthe establishment of a special nation through whom Yahweh can make himself known to all the families of the earth.â
Set apart equals consecrated, and we're going to chat about what it means for us to live consecrated. Because when we grasp the importance of consecration for us as new covenant believers, it helps solidify the importance of why this matters so much for God's image bearers.

Today we are jumping right back into our series on covenant.
Although covenant is often understood to be a list of laws and rules, which are often seen as legalistic and binding, the covenant between God and humanity differs. Through close analysis of biblical covenants, we will see that the heart of divine covenant has always been about walking in relationship with God, knowing His character, and choosing to step into our role as His ambassadors to properly reflect His character to the ends of the earth.

In this series we are setting out to understand Divine covenant - from Genesis to Revelation. We will encounter an unchanging God, who from the very beginning desired relationship with His created family, and proved time and time again that He would pursue them, fight for them and remain faithful to covenant - even the consequences of broken covenant - for the sake of redeeming all who were lost.
My hope is - that by the end of this series, we will walk away with a fresh understanding of what it means to walk as new covenant people, we would have a new love for getting into scripture and our awe and wonder and holy fear of our unchanging God would be rightfully placed back where it belongs.
That we would understand our responsibility in this new covenant and the cost it entails - yet be fully convinced that the cost is worth it.

Weâre going deep today and taking a look at a major theme that's found in the book of Revelation. This is one of the overarching messages that Revelation holds for us and it's important to understand because it speaks to what our role is as faithful followers of Jesus. And it holds very real encouragement for us in the midst of earthly struggle, because it it highlights Gods continual protection and provision over us as we remain faithful to hold fast to our witness. There is so much HOPE and promise tucked in the pages of this book. Join me as we dive in.

Today we are talking about grief and suffering and holding fast to faith in the heartache of living in a fallen world. Join me and guest Rayel Bausenhaus as we talk about her new book, God Give Me Faith; and other prayers you don't want to pray.
ââGod give me faith,â is a prayer that usually means youâll endure uncomfortable and terrifying situations that push every boundary you have. Itâs a prayer she prayed as, over six months, one of her parents lost their ability to remember and the other, their ability to breathe. God Give Me Faith is about that prayer and what resulted from it. (excerpt taken from cover)
Join us as we talk about moving forward in suffering, how grief and grace can coexist, and the power of community.

We are taking a look at one of the most misused verses in scripture and bringing it to light in a much deeper way than how it is used and applied today.
The well known Jeremiah 29:11, read through the eyes of individualistic western readers, has become one that is understood to imply that God's good plans for us include a prosperous life with no hardship as long as we are seeking Him with all our heart; that our breakthrough is just around the corner, and any hardship that we are experiencing is not from God
By taking into consideration both the literary and historical context of Jeremiah 29:1-14 we will see where reading this particular scripture through western eyes has created a weak theology around Godâs promise to His people and discover the richness of what His promise actually entails.
Get comfortable! We're diving in.

Today I am joined by guest and Spiritual Director Lindi Davidson as we talk about what it looks like, for us today, to be a faithful witness in light of Matthew 7:1-6. How do we remain in the tension of not casting stones and jumping to judgements and assumptions about people, but also remain discerning with our witness. How does humility and boldness coincide? How do we live this out with grace, humility and authority.
You don't want to miss this one!!

We are taking a deep dive right into the topic of idolatry and how easy it weaves itself into the human heart. How we truly do become what we behold. By taking a look at Idolatry as it is laid out in Isaiah and some other OT passages we will see how this topic still applies to us today as new covenant people. Where we place our worship matters, Are we fully worshiping our Creator or have we traded in parts of our worship in an attempt to find security and significance outside of God?
Join me for this indepth discussion as we kick off season two of Something Sacred!!

Weâre going to round out this season of the podcast by talking about community and friendship and everything that comes with being in relationship with imperfect people as imperfect people. Weâll talk about the importance of staying in community and cultivating friendships and what that looks like in a culture that idolizes lone wolfing it and canceling any one who doesnât hold to your same framework of thought. Joining me today is my good friend Tamara Lee. Come join us as we lean in and talk about the importance of fighting for friendship.

Today weâre going to cut through the noise and break through the destructive hold of confusion surrounding gender identity and talk about our responsibility in safeguarding the next generation. Weâre not coming at this from a cultural lens, but from a biblical lens. When we are reminded of what God says through scripture, all doubt and confusion fall away. Thatâs when we can confidently build our house upon the rock - and place our stakes firmly in truth, making a ripple effect for the kingdom for generations to come.

Today we are breaking down a current cultural ideology so we understand; what we are walking through and who our enemy actually is - spoiler alert - itâs not people, and to stand not only confidently in the truth we profess and hold fast to, but to stand in Joy and Peace in the midst of the unraveling. To see the struggle and then hold our position in Love and Truth and be a beacon that points people to a life that has deep meaning and purpose rooted in Jesus.

We're talking about labels vs Identity today. Join Raelynn Reimer and I as we talk about how labels were never meant to become attached to us and the limits they put on us when we allow them to define what only God was meant to define.

Our lives have become so noisy. What we allow in, will linger, and if we let it, it will set up shop and start to mold us into a distorted image we were never meant to reflect. Who does God say you are?
We can either build our life on the backbone of scripture and walk firmly on level ground, or we can let culture bend us into who it says we are and walk crooked.
Lets talk about it.

This episode serves as the starting point of all the other episodes to come. We're going to talk about our collective calling as image bearers of God, gain a better understanding of sacred space and break down what theology and biblical literacy actually mean. It's really not as boring as it sounds, promise!

Trailer for Something Sacred. A podcast where we're going to confront confusion and break down ideologies and bring it back to what God says. With a little sprinkle of theology and a whole lot of biblical literacy weâre going to break through cultural lies, watered down gospel teaching and hear some life stories along the way.
