What does Paul really mean when he calls Christians to be “a living sacrifice”?
Romans 12 challenges everything our culture says about identity, faith, and wholeness.

In Romans 12:1, the Apostle Paul calls believers to present their lives as a living sacrifice — but what does that actually mean?

In this teaching, we explore:

Why sacrifice originally meant death — and why Paul flips the meaning

The difference between sacred vs secular and sacred vs profane

How modern culture fragments our identity

Why Christianity isn’t religion, box-ticking, or Sunday-only faith

How the gospel offers wholeness, healing, and integration of life

This is not self-help.
This is not moralism.
This is the radical call of the gospel — all of life lived as worship.
