Why Your Own Willpower Won’t Result In True Sanctification

About this episode

You can be disciplined, successful, and still enslaved to sin without true biblical self-control. Scripture reveals why willpower, routines, and external discipline cannot produce real sanctification apart from the Holy Spirit. Discover how Spirit-empowered self-control transforms your fight against sin and fuels lasting spiritual growth. Transformed Podcast Episode 166 | March 12, 2026 ___ Thanks for listening!
