Sanctification and the Law: Breaking the Spell of “Spiritual” Holiness

What if everything you’ve been told about sanctification is missing the point? In this episode, we confront one of the church’s most persistent errors: replacing God’s law with man-made spiritual exercises. From ancient ascetics and Pharisees to modern-day “prayer warriors,” we explore how pietism and pagan dualism crept into Christian teaching—divorcing holiness from obedience. You’ll hear how true sanctification, far from being mystical or emotional, is rooted in the very real, concrete commands of Scripture. The call to be holy is a call to obey God's law—not to invent new paths to piety. Forget the hairshirts. Grab your Bible.
