Praise God for salvation, right? But there's still more: God wants us to become like him. Traditionally that call to personal transformation is called sanctification: the gradual process both of loving what God loves and turning away from sin. John Wesley (1703-1791) taught that instantaneous sanctification—a full and complete turning away from sin—can happen in a moment. The Spirit of God comes, Wesley held, to make us like Jesus, and that can happen in a crisis moment. In this, third, episode on the work of God's Spirit we examine Wesley's position in its historical, biblical, and theological context. I also offer a reflection on Lent, our time to walk through the wilderness, and pray a prayer for those living inside spiritual wilderness. This episode also has a Cloward-Piven update and a quick though-piece on what belief means for our minds. Come and laugh (and sing) with me!
