The Consecrated Podcast

Loving Jesus Without Mixture

In this episode, we dive into what it means to remove mixture from our hearts, drawing from Matthew 6:24 — “No one can serve two masters.” We explore how it’s impossible to give the first place in our hearts to both God and something else. Through honest reflection, we discuss how fear often reveals the “other gods” competing for our devotion — whether it’s self-sufficiency, control, or comfort. As followers of Jesus, we’re called to be a wholehearted bride, fully surrendered and devoted to Him alone. This conversation invites you to examine what’s truly sitting on the throne of your heart and to allow Jesus to take His rightful place.

When You're Feeling Stagnant

In this episode, we talk about how to stoke the flame when your faith feels stagnant. While seasons of stagnancy are a normal part of the Christian walk, there is no such thing as neutrality—you’re either moving toward God or away from Him. We share how testimonies of God’s past faithfulness can serve as fuel for your fire. And if you’re new in your faith or feel you haven’t seen God clearly move in your life yet, we discuss how honoring the stories in Scripture as your own—because we are the people of God—can ignite your fire just the same.

Remember Who Is Walking With You

In this season finale, we dive into the importance of remembering who walks with you—God Himself. When we remind our spirits of His omnipresent and omnipotent power, it strengthens and encourages us in every season. God is not apathetic; He is powerful and engaged in every detail of our lives. As we encounter more of Him, more is also expected of us. Rather than letting our circumstances define who God is, we must learn to stand on the truth of His nature and use the confidence of His presence with us to shape how we respond to life’s challenges.

Partnering with the Holy Spirit

In this episode, we dive into what it means to truly be a good partner with the Holy Spirit. If God is the one doing the work—if He is both the author and the finisher—then what is our role in the process of transformation? We look at the biblical foundation that makes clear it is God who initiates growth, while our part is to respond with a “yes” to His work. Partnership with the Holy Spirit means learning to acknowledge and celebrate what He has already done in our lives. When we honor His testimony, our hearts are positioned toward Him. Gratitude then becomes the doorway—it opens our eyes to how He is moving and deepens our awareness of His ongoing work.

Following the Leadership of the Lord

God’s leadership is never random—it’s intentional. In this episode, we talk about how He so often leads us one step at a time, giving only a piece of the puzzle instead of the full picture. It’s in that space of uncertainty where He’s calling us to trust Him deeply. Fear makes us want control, but faith moves when we don’t have all the answers. We were created to follow, not to lead—and when we try to take the role of leader, we end up carrying a weight we were never meant to bear. That weight shows up as anxiety. But when we trust His step-by-step guidance, we find peace in His leadership. We are created to be followers, not the leaders—and when we try to take control, anxiety often follows.

Burning For God

We were not made for a lukewarm, half-hearted faith — we were created to burn. In this episode, we dive into the holy dissatisfaction we often feel when our lives don’t align with the fullness we were made for. That longing inside you? It’s the reminder that you were created to burn for the Lord.
But here’s the truth: you are not the originator or the sustainer of that fire. God Himself is the all-consuming fire — He is the source, the flame, and the One who keeps us burning. We are simply the recipients of His passion, invited to live ablaze for His glory.
This is just the beginning of our conversation on what it means to burn for God. Join us as we press into the reality that life at its fullest is only found when we’re fully consumed by Him — everything else leaves us empty.

The God of Sacrifice

Sacrifice is more than giving up something—it’s a radical declaration that no one and nothing holds a higher place in our hearts than God Himself. It echoes the first and greatest commandment: God is a jealous God who demands our wholehearted devotion. Our sacrifices remind us daily that we are His alone, willing to surrender anything at His call.
In this powerful episode, we dive deep into the essential role of sacrifice in the Christian life. Following Jesus intimately requires sacrifice—it’s not optional but foundational. Drawing from the story of Abraham and Isaac, we explore how the man known as the father of faith earned that title through a life marked by surrender and sacrifice.
If God did not withhold His own Son, how can we withhold anything from Him? 

Waiting on God

Waiting seasons are often misunderstood as idle or unproductive, but in this podcast, we reveal how they are actually incredibly fertile ground for growth and transformation. Walking hand in hand with the Good Gardener during these times, though little may change on the outside, gardens blossom within—deep roots of faith, character, and confidence take hold.
We dive into the story of Abraham and Sarah, showing how God cultivated something extraordinary in Abraham while he waited—a man who wasn’t born the father of faith but was shaped into one. Through patient surrender, Abraham grew strong enough to trust God with even the most precious promise, willing to offer Isaac back in obedience and love.
We also unpack David’s waiting season after being anointed king, a time that forged in him a bold confidence rooted in God’s heart and protection—giving him the courage to face Goliath with unwavering faith.
Our conversations challenge you to embrace your own waiting season, not with frustration or apathy, but with expectancy, knowing that the Good Gardener is cultivating a garden within you that will bloom in God’s perfect timing. Don’t grumble your way through your promise like the Israelites; lean in, and watch what God will do in the waiting.

When You're Feeling Far From God

In this episode, we explore a deeply relatable part of the Christian walk — those seasons when God feels distant or silent. We unpack the truth that if Scripture is fully trustworthy, then the feeling of separation from God is not reality, but a distortion.
We talk about how easy it is to idolize the distance — to let the silence define our relationship with God — when in truth, we’re called to keep our eyes on Jesus, not on our feelings. This episode is a reminder to return to the cross, where Jesus' sacrifice forever closed the gap between us and God.
No matter how you feel, the truth remains: He is near and nothing can separate us from His love (Romans 8:38-39). Let this be an encouragement to trust Scripture over emotion.

Unforgiveness

In this powerful and soul-stirring episode, we dive deep into the heart of forgiveness. We unpack how unforgiveness isn’t just a relational barrier; it’s a spiritual blockade. Like a massive boulder damming up a river, unforgiveness halts the flow of our connection with God, keeping His grace and presence from reaching the deepest parts of our lives.
Through the lens of the parable of the unforgiving servant, we explore the sobering truth that when we withhold forgiveness from others, we're not just hurting them—we’re dishonoring the very forgiveness God has lavished upon us through the cross. The work of Jesus is a two-way flow: we receive mercy from heaven, and then we are called to pour that same mercy into the lives around us.
Unforgiveness is as if we remove God from His rightful place as Judge and insert ourselves instead, believing our judgment is more righteous, more just. 
This episode is a heartfelt call to release, to surrender, and to trust God's justice and mercy more than our own. Forgiveness isn’t just for them—it’s for us. It restores the flow, heals the soul, and reconnects us to the heart of God.
