Summary
In this week of First15 devotionals, we’re going to explore what it means to live with an unveiled lifestyle. It’s when we live our lives in light of the perfect sacrifice of Jesus that you and I begin to experience all his death was purposed to bring us. God longs for his children to walk in intimacy with him, directly connected to his wellspring of love for us. May you experience a more tangible, loving, and powerful connection with your heavenly Father this week as we celebrate living life unveiled.
Our Scripture for today comes from Leviticus 21:23, and today's worship is Holy is Our God by Austin Stone Worship.

| 0:39.0 | Welcome to The First of Team Podcast. |
| 0:43.0 | The verse for today comes from Leviticus 21-23. Scripture says, but he shall not go through the veil or approach the altar |
| 1:07.0 | because he has a blemish that he may not profane my sanctuaries for I and the Lord who sanctifies them. |
| 1:16.0 | Our Heavenly Father is both entirely full of love and completely holy. |
