The Church & Pursuing Holiness with Briana McCarthy

Elizabeth Woodson is joined by Briana McCarthy to discuss our calling to sanctification and holiness for the glory of God.

Questions Covered in This Episode:

• What do we learn about sanctification in the epistles? How is it connected to holiness?
• Why do we fall into the extremes of legalism and licentiousness? How do they point us to incorrect views of God?
• How have these incorrect views impacted the work/witness of the church?
• How do we disciple people to have a healthy view of sanctification? What are some spiritual healthy habits we can point them to?
• How does what we learn in the epistles about sanctification and holiness point us to the gospel?
