109 | Holy Oils and Holy Faith: Finding Peace Amid Life Changes

Find the full episode here >>> LivingOnPurposeInChrist.com/blogChange can feel like standing on moving ground, but we don’t have to face it untethered. We share a simple, embodied way to stay anchored in Christ through Scripture, prayer, and the biblical practice of sacred oils—tools designed for wholeness that engage your senses, settle your mind, and open your heart to God’s steady presence. From the seminary mornings that ran on grace instead of perfection to the small practices that transform a rushed day into a sacred rhythm, this conversation offers a path from anxiety to alignment.We walk through the rich history and meaning behind myrrh, cinnamon, calamus, cassia, and olive oil, and we unpack the holy incense—onycha, galbanum, and frankincense—as a sensory liturgy that invites focus and calm. Along the way, we address the skepticism around essential oils and re-center them as humble aids, not replacements for faith. Paired with worship and the Word, these gifts become anchors: a cue to breathe, to be still, and to remember that Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever.Grounded in Hebrews 13:8, Psalm 46:10, Psalm 34:18, and stories of Abraham, Esther, Israel, and Peter, we explore how trust grows when we release control and keep our eyes on Christ through every season. You’ll leave with practical steps—short prayers, breath-and-verse pauses, journaling prompts, and aroma cues—to cultivate stillness, build resilience, and find clarity when life shifts. If you’re craving a slower, Spirit-led rhythm that holds you steady, this one’s for you.If this helped you breathe easier, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs encouragement, and leave a review so others can find it.
