Too Many Tabs Open? Staying Sober-Minded in a Distracted World
Thursday Sep 18, 2025
Thursday Sep 18, 2025
What does it really mean to be holy as God is holy? In this episode of Between Sermons, Pastor Brent, Pastor Sol, and Ti’heasha continue our journey through 1 Peter with a conversation about holiness, sober-mindedness, and what it looks like to live set apart in today’s world. Together, they unpack how distractions—whether it’s worry, entertainment, or numbing habits—can keep us from being clear-headed and ready for action. The conversation also tackles what the Bible means by “fear of God,” reframing it not as terror, but as awe, honor, and reverence for the One who judges impartially and loves perfectly. With real talk about the struggles of living holy in a culture that often pushes the opposite, this episode offers encouragement to stay grounded in God’s Word, embrace being different, and let your conduct reflect your identity in Christ.
