Episode 183 - Whispers of Grace Takeover, Part 3: Ministry

In this third takeover episode of Outside of Sunday, Julie Colbeth from Whispers of Grace continues her powerful teaching series - this time turning to the heart of ministry.

Drawing from the Old Testament priesthood and the ordination process in Exodus, Julie unpacks how ministry with God has always been rooted in something deeper than what we do - it flows from grace, and connection with God.

From the clothing of the priests to the anointing oil and sacrificial offerings, this episode beautifully reveals how these practices point forward to Jesus - and what it means for us now to be clothed in Christ and anointed by the Holy Spirit.

Julie reminds us that ministry isn’t sustained by striving or performance, but by surrender and fellowship with God. It’s not about building something for Him in our own strength - it’s about abiding in Him.
