Living a Consecrated Life

Living a consecrated life is a choice to commit to Jesus and live in obedience to his teachings. It involves saying no to compromise and yes to holiness. The key elements of consecration are cleansing, sacrificial living, and dedication. It's important to surround yourself with a supportive community and have accountability partners to confess your struggles and seek help. Consecration is not about perfection, but about daily choices to walk in the light and turn away from sin. It brings joy, blessings, and a deeper fellowship with God.

Consecration is a blessing for you, your family, and generations to come. It's a beautiful gift you can give your family. In today's Show, Phil and Brook break down what consecration means and what it looks like to live a life consecrated to God. They get honest about how it is so easy not to live this way and how we can push against the current culture to move closer to holiness. Life is hard, and we all find things that help us cope or soothe our pain, but it leads us away from consecration and brings us more pain. Brook and Phil squash any elements of shame in this process and bring hope through small, practical ways when we choose little acts of obedience daily. A common theme of this episode circles around the truth that when you give up more of yourself and live a consecrated life, you receive more of God's spirit, which helps you continue to live a holy life and receive His blessings. This work of consecration is so important because what we don't deal with becomes a trap for our children. It is our responsibility to stop sin and release blessings to our children. May this be a part of your legacy in your family? Enjoy!
