Sanctification: The Forgotten Half of Salvation

We often frame salvation around a single emotional moment: Did you pray the prayer? But that question doesn’t show up in Scripture. American Christianity has often reduced the gospel to an afterlife insurance policy: believe in Jesus and go to heaven when you die. But if your concept of heaven doesn’t require Jesus to be there, you’ve misunderstood what Jesus came to do.

In this episode, Pastors Whit and Lee explore justification and sanctification and how God is not just after our destination; He’s after our transformation.
