Echo 23: Journeying Towards Personal Holiness in Christ

Join Pastor Dan Sinkhorn and Adrienne Tarullo in the Echo Podcast as they delve into our spiritual identities as new creations in Christ. Drawing metaphoric parallels from the Insurgent series and Frank Viola's book, this episode sets the stage for spiritual rebirth, acknowledging the profound shift within us post-salvation. Scripture-based analysis leads to an exploration of transformation through Jesus, creating significant change and endless spiritual possibilities.

Our discussion further illuminates God's nature of adoption and highlights our roles as co-heirs with Christ. The narrative weaves in fascinating streams of ancient Roman legal traditions and Jewish tradition with modern-day legal systems. The episode also unpacks the concept of original sin, the human spiritual DNA, and the salvation offered through Jesus Christ, shedding light on our spiritual evolution.

We unravel the metaphor of shedding our 'outer garment' of sin, embodying the ideas presented through the transformation of believers. The journey from a corrupt state to an incorruptible being through the Holy Spirit equips us with a new inner framework, transforming our spiritual realities. The conversation also visits the concept of 'Ecclesia' in the Christian world, emphasizing its relevance in individual and global spirituality.

The heart of the episode lies in its exploration of sin and redemption, underlined by personal encounters, experiences, and rich Biblical analogies. It is an invitation to all listeners to strive for personal holiness, embrace Christ's given freedoms, and ascend to divine standards. Shed those remnants of a sin-laden past and embrace the journey back to the 'Garden of Eden' — towards God's immediate presence. This is your spiritual quest towards personal transformation, driven by an irresistible desire to move ever closer to God.
