Holiness & Our Witness

The Women's Cast is the podcast of the Women’s Ministry at The Austin Stone. This year we’re focussing on the theme of holiness. In this episode of the series we focus on holiness and our witness. How can the experience of our own encounter with the holiness of God catalyze us to be witnesses to our friends, family, and neighbors who need Jesus? In this episode we discuss how God’s holiness both compels and enables us to tell the people in our lives about this God who is worthy of our worship. We talk about why personal holiness makes us a more reliable witness for Jesus and what this might look like in our everyday lives. Annette Haralson, the former Equipping and Women’s Director for our North congregation, leads the discussion with two deacons from North: Jessie Daub and Lauren Fischer.
