The Sanctified Mind
by The Sanctified Mind Podcast
The Sanctified Mind Podcast is the result of numerous, informal theological discussions that have occurred between three lifelong friends (Beau, Daniel, and Ryan). We found these discussions to be edifying and enjoyable. We came up with the idea to take our discussions to a Podcast format in order to share it with others and to record it for posterity (because what kid doesn’t want to listen to Grandpa’s old podcast). The discussion will be based off of an analysis and review of whatever book we are studying together. Listeners are welcome to read the book as well in order to follow along and participate in the discussion. We will seek to follow the Reformed, Puritan tradition of looking at doctrine and application. We plan to go through one book a month from our combined pool and discuss what we liked and didn’t like. What we agree and disagree with. Most importantly, how can this book help us to better love and glorify God in our lives.www.thesanctifiedmind.com
