Summary
In this week's episode we are LIVE for our 100th episode of In Totality! I honestly can't believe we've reached this far in our podcast journey, but it's a true testament of God's faithfulness when we obey and give Him a serious yes. I'm joined by my best friend, Jackie Hill Perry, and we have an open conversation about sanctification, and the very real struggle of becoming more like Christ.
We talk through the frustration of feeling stuck, the emotional weight of obedience, and why spiritual growth often feels slow and painful. This isn’t a teaching moment, it’s a transparent one. We don’t just quote scripture, we live it. And sometimes, that looks like waiting, and asking hard questions.
If you’ve ever felt like your effort isn’t enough, or you’re tired of fighting battles no one sees, this conversation is for you! God is not distant, He's refining you and He is with you.
Even here. You’re not failing. You’re being reformed.
I can't wait for you to hear this one! Tune in now!
