Biblical Consecration

🎙Episode Overview: In a world that feels like it’s constantly on fast-forward—filled with political tension, cultural division, and economic uncertainty—our first instinct might be to withdraw, insulate, and hide. But Jesus never called His people to hide. He called us to shine.

In this episode, we unpack the biblical concept of consecration: being fully set apart for God in a way that is healthy, joyful, and deeply human. From the Old Testament priests to Jesus’ prayer in John 17, to Paul’s call in Romans 12, consecration is less about retreating from the world and more about living for God in the middle of it.

We’ll also look to the example of St. Francis of Assisi, who embraced an organic life of consecration. His service, simplicity, and joy remind us that mowing a yard, cooking a meal, or helping a neighbor can be just as holy as preaching a sermon.
