Lap 2
from ASCEND · host Justin Graham
What happens after you say yes to Jesus? Salvation is the starting line — sanctification is the second lap. In this episode, Pastor Carl and Pastor J unpack one of the most misunderstood “church words” in Christianity: sanctification. It’s not about religion, perfection, or rule-following. It’s the daily pursuit of becoming more like Christ — being set apart for God’s purpose and learning how to stay in the race. Through personal stories, Scripture, and honest conversation, this episode challenges listeners to embrace the process, press into truth, and understand that faith is not a sprint — it’s a lifelong journey. You’ll hear conversations around: What sanctification actually means Why Christianity was never meant to be easy The importance of truth, holiness, and spiritual growth How the Holy Spirit helps us endure the hard seasons Why finishing well matters just as much as starting well No matter where you are in your faith journey, there is always another step to take. Where do you need to start ascending?
