The Artist Behind the Art: Unveiling Masterful Living

November 23, 2023

In the “Anchored & Reaching” podcast’s new series, “Masterful Living,” host Kevin Minoia delves into the concept of living a holy life. This episode serves as an introduction to the series, exploring what holiness truly means and challenging common misconceptions. Kevin emphasizes that holiness is not about adhering to rules, doctrines, or specific lifestyles. Instead, it’s about reflecting the nature of God, who is inherently holy. He uses the metaphor of smelling like what we eat to illustrate how internalizing God’s nature leads us to naturally exhibit His holiness in our actions and life. The series aims to make the concept of holiness more accessible and relatable, moving away from legalistic interpretations and focusing on a relational, descriptive, and centered approach to faith and life.
