The Harvest Sarasota: Sermons for Deconstructing and Challenging Traditional Faith with Pastor Dan Minor
Holiness Has Been Hijacked
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Let’s be honest—“holiness” has been weaponized.
For years, it’s been used to divide, exclude, and label people as “clean” or “unclean.” But what if we’ve been getting it wrong the whole time?
In this bold message, we flip the script.
Jesus didn’t define holiness by who you avoid—He defined it by how you love. And that changes everything.
Walking through Mark 7 and Acts 10, we confront a hard truth: holiness isn’t about distance from “those people.” It’s about refusing to become the kind of person who harms others.
This episode dives into:
- Why “unclean” was never about categories of people
- How Scripture has been misused to justify harm
- What holiness actually looks like in real life (hint: it’s not behavior control)
- Why love—not fear, not rules—is the clearest evidence of God in you
If your version of holiness creates division, shame, or harm… it might not be holiness at all.
This is a call to something better.
A faith that looks like Jesus.
A holiness that actually heals.
