Full Episode Description: When you’re born, you look like your parents. When you die, you look like your decisions. In this episode, we explore the spiritual “cup” you are drinking from and how the choices you make shape your life, behavior, and identity.

Romans 7:18–25 shows us that while salvation changes our identity in Christ, sanctification transforms our behavior. Paul reminds us that sin may still live in us, but it does not define us—Jesus frees us from the life dominated by sin and death.

We’ll unpack the difference between:

  • The golden cup of compromise that promises freedom but delivers bondage (Revelation 17:4–6)

  • The cup of surrender that brings peace, purpose, and power when we die to ourselves like Jesus did (Luke 22:41–42, Psalms 116:13–14)

You’ll learn how to:

  • Identify the cup you are drinking from and its consequences

  • Recognize the allure of comfort, compromise, and temporary pleasure

  • Embrace Christ’s cup of surrender, which redeems, restores, and transforms

  • Live a life where your decisions reflect your true identity in Christ

If you want freedom from the habits, patterns, and sins that define others, it starts with the cup you choose to lift.

Scriptures Mentioned: Romans 7:18–25 · Revelation 17:4–6 · Luke 22:41–42 · Psalms 116:13–14

Key Quote:

“The golden cup says, ‘Live for yourself.’ The carpenter’s cup says, ‘Die to yourself.’ One destroys you; the other redeems you.”

Closing Call to Action: Decide today which cup you will drink from. Tune in and discover how surrendering to God’s will and walking in sanctification brings true freedom, peace, and redemption.
