First Peter says we are a holy priesthood offering up spiritual sacrifices to God through Christ.

How do we prove faithful as a holy priesthood? What is a spiritual sacrifice and what keeps

our worship from being a form of self-righteousness? Today we are talking about spiritual

Welcome to the Sheeproos Faithful Podcast, episode number 56, truth and encouragement to live gospel-centered lives every day.

I'm your host, Lauren Lushak.

Hey, everyone, welcome to today's show. My name is Lauren, and if this is your first time joining us, thanks for tuning in.
