2026/03/14

What if purity isn’t about behavior modification… but about spiritual voltage?In this episode, we confront one of the most misunderstood words in faith culture. Purity has often been reduced to rule-keeping, image management, or moral anxiety. But what if purity is actually about power?

What if the greatest threat to holiness today isn’t sin — but self-righteousness?In Matthew 9 and 12, Jesus clashes with the Pharisees not because they lacked zeal, but because they tried to manage righteousness instead of receive it.

He begins with something reasonable. Attractive.

Advent Kingdom Hearts: Shoes Of Peace

Fire on the Mountain ·
