Embodied Holiness
Rev. Susan Eaton, Dr. Lindsey Lewis, Dr. Lyerly Christensen
Holiness is one of those words that seems out of reach and reserved only for God or the super spiritual. But Jesus taught us that holiness can become a reality in the everyday moments and events of our lives. So, if we take Jesus seriously, what would it look like to embody holiness on a chaotic Tuesday morning? What would it sound like to embody holiness when we're running late or having a stressful conversation with our spouse?
In each episode, we'll address an everyday topic and discuss the specific challenges of embodying holiness in that aspect of life. We'll share resources we've found helpful to our own spiritual journeys and share our stories of growth and failure. We'll also be joined by special guests from time to time. If you're interested in learning how to grow in holiness, you're in the right place. Thanks for joining us on the journey!

Ep. 35 Embodied Advent - Unadorned
Embodied Holiness
12/13/22 • 11 min
If you’ve ever wondered why — in a season when we’re supposed to be focused on the humility of Christ’s entrance into the world — we seem to be more chaotic and stressed than ever, you’re not alone. Listen in as our friend Alex Doleac shares his thoughts about how we can step away from the chaos of the season in order to become unadorned and embrace the simplicity and humility of Christ.

Embodied Holiness
12/06/22 • 7 min
Even though the season of Advent is marked by longing and waiting for deliverance, it's not a season without hope. Our Savior has come and will come again to make all things new. In this second week of Advent, we explore the purpose darkness can serve in our lives. If you're going through a difficult time, we pray that this message will remind you that you are never alone. God is with us. God is with you.

Ep. 33 Embodied Advent - Presence
Embodied Holiness
12/05/22 • 9 min
For the Christian, the season of Advent marks the beginning of a new year. We begin this new year by waiting with anticipation for the coming of our Savior. Of course, we're on the other side of Christ's first coming, and so while we celebrate and remember with joy how God took on flesh and dwelt among us, we also hold on to the hope that Christ will return -- His second advent.
As we wait it's easy to get caught up in the consumerism of the culture. This series is here to help you not get caught up. To help you stay focused on the presence of God at work among us. May you experience the Lord's presence this Advent. And may you awaken to others as you awaken to God. Happy Advent, everyone.

Ep. 32 Say Yes - The Surprising Life Beyond the Death of a Dream
Embodied Holiness
11/22/22 • 34 min
"Maybe you feel shipwrecked or stuck at a dead end. Maybe you feel foolish for even daring to dream at all. When our dreams die, our vision of who we hoped to become often dies too. That's when the Voice of Giving Up appears."
That's an excerpt from the back cover of Scott Erickson's book Say Yes - Discover the Surprising Life Beyond the Death of a Dream. Listen in as we discuss why this book took us so long to read, what our key takeaways were, and why you should get a copy. Thanks for joining us!

Ep. 29: Redeeming How We Talk
Embodied Holiness
11/01/22 • 28 min
In so many ways we have lost our ability to effectively converse with others, especially when the topic is a tough one. Technology promises to bring us together; however, isolation and discord seem more prominent than ever. But we can redeem that! In this episode, we'll go over several principles that will help us all communicate more effectively with love and grace to the people around us:
1) Godly speech comes from a godly heart.
2) Speak for the good of others.
3) Godly speech embraces godly silence.
4) Listen.

Ep. 36 Embodied Advent - Tabernacle
Embodied Holiness
12/20/22 • 7 min
In this last installment of our Embodied Advent series, we look at Mary, who so willingly received her Christ, becoming a tabernacle for the divine, a dwelling place, a shelter for the embryonic God to grow. She received the calling to carry, birth, and raise a child — to love and pour herself out for him — and then she released him and her heart to the will of the Father.
As we draw closer to the day of Christ’s birth, consider what you may be holding too tightly. What do you have a grip on, or what are you striving for that has a grip on you? How might you be trying to prove your worth instead of accepting what is already yours and trusting God even with what you see as weakness? How do you need to let go and surrender to the call of the Divine over your life?
