In this latest episode of our Podcast, we delve into the topic of self-denial and its significance in the life of a Christian. Self-denial is often misunderstood and can be associated with extreme practices such as self-flagellation and fasting. However, it is about getting out of God’s way and putting aside our own limited concept of self to embrace a more complete self-hood in Christ. We will explore the different ways in which self-denial can be practiced, and how it promotes loving relationships with God and others. We will discuss how self-denial comes by grace and is not about negating the self, but about letting go of what is not truly us and embracing our potential for growth in Christ. If you’re interested in gaining a deeper understanding of self-denial and its role in spiritual growth, tune in to this episode of our Podcast.
