Summary

Hey friends! On the show today, the brilliant Jackie Hill Perry joins me to talk all about her new book, Holier Than Thou (isn’t that a great title?!), why she wrote the book, and how we can trust God because He is Holy, and not in a scary, rigid way we may have heard growing up in the Church. Jackie Hill Perry is a mom, writer, poet, and artist whose work has been featured in the Washington Times, The 700 Club, Desiring God, The Gospel Coalition, and other publications. Since becoming a Christian in 2008, she uses her speaking and teaching gifts to share the light of the gospel of God as authentically as she can. We also dive into a variety of topics such as the crisis of discipleship and holding others accountable, how we are wasting time not to trust God, and why believers should care about God’s holiness. Listen in to learn more about: How idols are unholy and insufficient to be God for us. The fact that God is alive makes Him sufficient as a Savior for us. What believers get wrong about God’s holiness How suffering and sin, in so many ways, have protected us against God. We need to remember that if God cannot sin, He cannot sin against you. Favorite quotes: 1. Discipleship is simply allowing someone in your life, or being in someone’s life where you can not only observe how they live but also be taught how they live. 2. We need people in our lives to impart wisdom and we need people in our lives that we can impart wisdom to. 3. God’s holiness is not just his moral purity but it's also his transcendence. The fact that he exists differently from us, that he is a creator not a creature. He is external, he is not finite. 4. Caring about God’s holiness is caring about God himself. 5. It’s always going to fail you if you don’t know God. In this episode I answer this question: 1. How do you work from home and stay productive? (32:42) Great things we discussed: 1.

0:00.0	Hey, hey, this is Allie and welcome to the Allie Worthington show.
0:06.7	It's where we gather, learn, share our stories, and have a great time.
0:10.8	Every week I'll be chatting with a friend who I know, who I like and I respect,
0:15.4	and I want to learn something from.
0:17.2	And after we have that discussion, we are going to have coaching time.
0:20.2	So I'm going to be
0:20.8	answering your questions about life, about faith, and about business. Welcome to the show today.
0:27.1	Wow, you are in for a treat because Jackie Hill Perry is with us. She is a writer and a poet and an
0:32.8	artist. And listen, she has written the best new book. It's called Holier than Now. It's a great name. And it's all about the holiness of God and why we can actually trust him because he is holy. Not in a stuffy, almost scary way that we heard growing up if we grew up in church. But she gives just such a great explanation of holiness and why because of
0:56.9	his holiness, because he is so different than we are, we truly can trust him. And I love it so much.
1:02.4	I think you're going to love it too. And after we talk with Jackie Hill Perry, I am answering
1:06.4	your questions today. Your question that I'm answering this week is how do you work from home
1:11.6	and actually stay productive? I have a lot to say about that because mostly it's all I've known,
1:17.9	so I can't wait to dig into that. And before we get started, this is your heads up that called
1:23.0	creatives is open for new members. Now called creatives, if you're not familiar familiar, it is what I wish I had when God first put the idea for a book on my heart in 2006.
1:33.4	Because back in 2006, I used my dial-up internet to try to figure out what does this even look like.
1:39.4	And I got all sorts of crazy information. Most of it involving paying a lot of money to get my book published,
1:45.8	if you know what I mean, right? This is what I wish I had. My friend Lisa Whittle and I built this
1:50.3	together. It is a coaching community for women who feel called to write and speak. So maybe you're
1:56.8	a published author. Maybe you just have dreams of being a published author. You're a brand
2:00.8	new business owner. You just wrote your very first blog post. You want to make money writing online. Or you have
2:06.1	no idea what you want to do with your creative passion. Or you know you may want to speak one day or you
