12 Resources to Empower You in Holiness

At OneLove women’s conference, Author and Bible teacher, Jackie Hill Perry will be addressing the theme “Made for More: Created to be Holy”. To get us thinking about the topic, we have curated a list of 12 resources that will empower you in holiness. With articles, podcasts, songs and videos on offer, there’s something here for everyone!  ​

Articles 

The Doctrine of Holiness 

“OK, I get that God is holy. I'm not entirely sure how to define his holiness, but the Bible declares it to be true. So, what's next? How does this big doctrine impact my real life?" 

In this article, Paul Tripp explains the ‘mind-blowing grandeur’ of God’s holiness, how it impacts us, and why it’s worthy of celebration. 

Attributes of God | He is Holy

“We may hear the phrase, God is holy, and even nod our heads in agreement, but do we know what it means? Have we stopped and asked ourselves what exactly makes God holy?” 

In this article, Lauren Chandler reflects on God’s holiness and asks us to pause to consider the weight that word holds. 

Yes, Actually, God Does Demand Perfection 
 
“...when we lower God’s expectations for his people, and de-emphasize the seriousness of his command for holiness, we actually cheapen his grace and lose sight of his spectacular promise.”  
 
In this article, Kristen Wetherell encourages believers to take holiness seriously as it is a spiritual pursuit that magnifies God’s promises to us in Jesus.  

Videos 

Holy, Holy, Holy: A Quick Talk on The Holiness of God 

How do we pursue holiness in the world that cares nothing about it and why should we be holy? In this 15 minute video, Jackie Hill Perry talks about the holiness of God and how we live in light of that.  ​

The Bible Project: Holiness

This short video explores the paradox that God’s holiness presents to human beings. God is the unique and set-apart Creator of all reality and the author of all goodness. However, that goodness can become dangerous to humans who are mortal and morally corrupt. Ultimately, this paradox is resolved by Jesus, who embodies God’s holiness that comes to heal His creation. ​

Jen Wilkin on Holiness 

In this 2-minute video, Jen Wilkin gives a quick summary on what God means when he says that we are to ‘be holy as God is holy’. ​

The Beatitudes: Blessed are the Pure in Heart with Mal Gill 
​
In The Beatitudes, Jesus powerfully reminds us of the blessed life that God has called us to. Watch Day 6 of KCC’s video devotional series on The Beatitudes on the KCC One app. In this devotion, Mal Gill talks about how in a society of impurity, God sets apart his people to live in holiness and purity as they walk in step with the Holy Spirit. 

Music

Podcasts 

Let’s Talk: The Holiness of God 

Let’s Talk is a podcast for women from The Gospel Coalition Podcast Network. Join Jackie Hill Perry, Melissa Kruger, and Jasmine Holmes in this episode as they discuss our complicated relationship with holiness, and that if we fail to appreciate God’s holiness, we fail to know God as He really is. 

Journeywomen: How Can We Image God? 

What are some of the attributes of God that we should seek to take on? How has God instructed us to do that? What enables us to do that? In this episode, Journeywomen chats to Jackie Hill Perry about God’s holiness and His communicable attributes, specifically focusing on how we can reflect God’s character. 

Risen Motherhood: Let’s Reset 

Even when it seems like you've done everything right as a mum, inevitably, things won’t go as planned, leaving us wondering if there’s any point in trying. In this Risen Motherhood episode, Emily and Laura shares how our identity in Christ empowers us to continue pursuing holiness, even in our sin or when circumstances aren’t ideal.
