    The Trap of Asceticism: When Self-Denial Becomes Pride | The Invitation

    Self-denial can look holy while still keeping our attention fixed on ourselves.In this episode of the SALT Podcast, Pastor Jessi Green sits down with Sav and Selah to examine asceticism—the practice of denying physical desires in pursuit of spiritual growth. Together, they explore fasting, consecration, wealth, social media, personal conviction, and the subtle ways religious pride can disguise itself as radical devotion.Through Colossians 2 and 1 Timothy 4, they confront the difference between biblical discipline and self-made religion. Holiness is not something we manufacture by rejecting everything enjoyable. Christ is the One who makes us holy. From that foundation, fasting, generosity, sacrifice, and self-denial become responses of love and obedience—not attempts to earn closeness with God.If this conversation challenges or encourages you, share it with someone learning how to live both consecrated and fully alive.HIGHLIGHTS0:00 – Can You Be Consecrated and Fully Alive?4:16 – Awakening God-Given Desire5:46 – What Is Asceticism?8:54 – Colossians 2 and Self-Made Religion14:34 – How Do We Actually Become Holy?19:18 – Does Asceticism Belong in Christianity?24:06 – Should Christians Fast?32:06 – Monasticism and Spiritual Perfection40:26 – Why You Fast Matters41:00 – Radical Devotion or Comfortable Christianity?49:53 – The Warning in 1 Timothy 455:25 – What Makes Something Holy?56:57 – Receiving God’s Gifts With Thanksgiving1:01:34 – Judging Christians Who Enjoy Good Things1:04:20 – Self-Denial Can Still Be Self-Focused1:08:51 – Living as a Good Soldier of Christ1:11:55 – Deleting Social Media Doesn’t Change Your Heart1:13:55 – A Mission Trip or a Luxury Hotel?1:18:57 – Gluttony, Fasting, and the American Church1:21:49 – Christ Sets Us Apart1:24:17 – Healthy Self-Denial and Personal Conviction1:27:57 – When Social Media Abstinence Becomes Pride1:30:16 – “God Told Me To Watch TV”1:34:34 – The Myth of Secret Spiritual Practices1:36:27 – The Pharisees Were “Separated Ones”1:42:21 – Learning To Receive Extravagant Gifts1:47:18 – “Jesus Didn’t Make Me Poor”1:49:02 – What the Rich Young Ruler Reveals1:50:30 – Prayer and Closing SCRIPTURES REFERENCEDNumbers 6 — The Nazarite vowPsalm 119:9 — Remaining pure through obedience to God’s WordColossians 1:22–23 — Made holy and blameless through ChristColossians 2:1–5, 16–23 — Christ versus self-made religionMatthew 6:16–18 — Jesus’ teaching about fastingMatthew 16:24 — Deny yourself and follow JesusMatthew 19:16–22 — The rich young ruler1 Timothy 4:1–16 — Receiving God’s creation with thanksgivingJohn 15 — Abiding in Christ2 Timothy 2:1–12 — Training and endurance in ChristGalatians 5:16–24 — The Spirit, the flesh, and self-controlEcclesiastes 5:19 — Receiving and enjoying God’s giftsRomans 14 — Personal conviction without judging others Plan Your Visit to SALT Church:https://www.saltchurches.com/Ways to Support the Ministry:https://www.saltchurches.com/givingConnect With SALT Church:  / saltchurches     / @saltchurchnc  Connect With Jessi Green:  / jessi.green  https://www.jessi-green.com/#asceticism #holiness #consecration #fasting #christianpodcast #biblestudy #saltchurch #jessigreen

    GOSPEL NIGHT | BRAVEHEART | Peter Louis, Aaron Tedeschi + Salt Church

    You were never meant to follow Jesus anonymously.Peter Louis of Braveheart Ministries teaches from Ephesians 2 about what it truly means to be the Church. Scripture describes God's people as a bride, a body, a temple, a witness, and a family. These are more than poetic descriptions; they reveal how Christians are called to live with Jesus and with one another.Through the blood of Christ, we are not only saved from sin—we are brought near to the Father and placed in His household. Peter challenges believers to surrender control, receive the peace of Jesus, move beyond spiritual consumption, and become people who are willing to be known, chosen, corrected, and carried.If you have felt alone, anonymous, anxious, or disconnected from the Church, this message is an invitation to come out of hiding and experience the family Jesus purchased for you.Plan Your Visit to SALT Church:https://www.saltchurches.com/Connect with Peter Louis and Braveheart Ministries:https://www.braveheart.run/

    The Fall Wasn't the End | Genesis 3 | Parker Green

    The fall of humanity was not the moment God lost control. It was the moment His plan of redemption began to unfold.Pastor Parker Green teaches from Genesis 3 and traces the story from Adam and Eve's rebellion to Jesus, the second Adam. What begins with shame, accusation, passivity, and exile becomes a revelation of a God who comes looking for His children, makes the first sacrifice, and ultimately gives Himself as the final sacrifice.Jesus entered a garden and chose the Father's will. He bore our shame on the cross, was pierced in His side, rose again in a garden, and restored the way to life. God does not merely want to be known as Creator; He wants you to know Him as Redeemer and Savior.Plan Your Visit to SALT Church:https://www.saltchurches.com/

    The Gospel Is the Power of God | Seth Prevatte at UNCW

    The gospel is not merely good information—it is the power of God to save and set people free.At UNCW, Seth Prevatte teaches from Psalm 23 and John 10 about Jesus, the Good Shepherd, who comes after us before we understand our need. Through personal testimony and a clear invitation to surrender, Seth shares how Jesus frees us from sin, anxiety, depression, and the burden of trying to lead our own lives.The Father's desire is not for you to stand outside looking in. Through the death and resurrection of Jesus, you are invited into His presence, His freedom, and His family.Plan Your Visit to SALT Church:https://www.saltchurches.com/Learn more about Saturate Global:https://www.saturateglobal.com/

    The Problem of Sin | The Way of Cain or the Way of Christ | Jessi Green

    Sin does more than break a rule—it distorts what we believe, clouds our vision, damages our relationships, and draws us away from the presence of God.In “The Problem of Sin,” Pastor Jessi Green teaches from Genesis 4 about the way of Cain and the way of Christ. Through Cain and Abel's story, she explains why emotions can expose the false beliefs ruling us, why repentance must produce a change of direction, and how the blood of Jesus speaks a better word than accusation, shame, and condemnation.You do not have to remain trapped in the same cycle. Through confession, surrender, the power of the Holy Spirit, and the finished work of Jesus, you can walk in genuine freedom and restored fellowship with God.Plan Your Visit to SALT Church:https://www.saltchurches.com/Connect with Jessi Green:https://www.jessi-green.com/

    Why God Made You for More Than Survival | Genesis Series | Parker Green

    God did not create us merely to survive. In Genesis 2, He gives humanity life, meaningful work, rest, relationship, and access to His presence. Even before the fall, the chapter points beyond Adam and Eve to the One who would bring us back to life.In this message, Pastor Parker Green teaches why God's rest is more than doing nothing, why His boundaries protect rather than deprive us, and how He often leads us through a process so we can recognize what we truly need. The message culminates in Jesus, the second Adam, whose pierced side gives birth to His bride and whose sacrifice opens the way back to God.If this message helps you see Jesus in Genesis, share it with someone who needs to know that God is acting on their behalf.HIGHLIGHTS0:00 – Prayer and the Gospel in Genesis 1:26 – You Are Not the Main Character 3:43 – God Brings Order Out of Chaos 5:51 – God's Joy in Creation 6:08 – The First Holy Day: Rest 7:15 – Rest Is More Than Doing Nothing 9:10 – The Sabbath and the Work of Life 12:49 – God Breathes Life Into Dust 15:06 – The Tree of Life and the Tree of Knowledge 16:56 – Ask Whether It Brings Life 18:17 – Life Flows Out of Eden 18:52 – Adam Is Given Work 20:24 – God Begins With Abundance, Not Prohibition 22:45 – God's Boundaries Keep Us From Dying 24:40 – Christ Perfects Our Relationship With God 25:40 – It Is Not Good for Man To Be Alone 27:02 – God Leads Adam Through a Process 28:40 – God Brings the Woman to the Man 30:01 – Adam's First Song 31:44 – Leave and Cleave 33:38 – Pursue Your Wife With Passion 34:25 – The Second Adam and His Bride 36:27 – Jesus Went to the Tree 37:54 – Scripture Without Jesus Cannot Save You 40:03 – An Invitation to Follow Jesus 42:04 – Prayer for Marriage and Communion SCRIPTURES REFERENCEDGenesis 1:1–31 — God creates and declares creation very good Genesis 2:1–3 — God blesses the seventh day and makes it holy Genesis 2:4–25 — Eden, Adam's work, the two trees, Eve, and one flesh Genesis 3:1–24 — The fall and loss of access to the tree of life John 15:1–11 — Abiding in Jesus Romans 8:32 — God, having given His Son, graciously gives with Him all things John 4:1–42 — Jesus and the woman at the well; living water John 20:19–29 — The risen Jesus shows His wounds and breathes the Holy Spirit on His disciples John 5:39–40 — Scripture points to Jesus, in whom there is life Hebrews 4:14–16 — Approach the throne of grace with confidence Ephesians 5:25–32 — Christ's love for the Church and the mystery of marriage 2 Corinthians 5:17 — A new creation in Christ Plan Your Visit to SALT Church:https://www.saltchurches.com/Ways to Support the Ministry:https://www.saltchurches.com/givingSubscribe:https://www.instagram.com/saltchurches/Subscribe @saltchurchNC Connect with Parker + Jessi Green:Instagram Parker / https://www.instagram.com/parkerrichardgreen/Instagram Jessi /https://www.instagram.com/jessi.green/Websites https://www.saltchurches.com/https://www.jessi-green.com/https://www.saturateglobal.com/#prayer #bible #biblestudy #saltchurch #revival #parkergreen #jessigreen

    We Took Communion to a College Campus—Then 70 People Met Jesus | The Invitation

    Communion was never meant to become a throwaway moment. After a powerful prayer meeting, we carried the Lord’s Table onto the campus of UNCW and more than 70 people came to know Jesus through public communion in one week.In this episode of The Invitation, Parker Green and Angel Barrientos share what happened on the UNCW campus, why communion is more than a symbol, and how the body and blood of Jesus brings believers back to the simple gospel. They explore communion as evangelism, the invitation to the marriage supper of the Lamb, healing, unity across denominations, and the faith required to meet Jesus at His table.If this conversation gives you a fresh revelation of communion, share it with someone and consider taking the Lord’s Supper with your family, small group, or church.CHAPTERS0:00 – Communion Revival at UNCW 1:08 – Leaving Prayer To Take Communion Public 3:43 – Five Salvations in Seven Minutes 4:19 – Why Communion Worked 6:34 – The Unexpected History of Welch’s Grape Juice 8:08 – Taking Communion Seriously 9:38 – Why Communion Became Central 10:01 – Acts 2:42 and the Breaking of Bread 12:52 – Communion as Evangelism 14:12 – The Marriage Supper and the Invitation 16:28 – Too Close to Revival To See It 18:13 – When Communion Becomes a Throwaway Moment 21:23 – Ninety Percent of Christianity Is Remembering 22:09 – Sharing the Gospel in Thirty Seconds 26:36 – The Bread of the Presence 29:33 – Healing Through Communion 30:49 – Jesus, the True Food 32:49 – Doing Evangelism Before It Looks Polished 34:17 – How Communion Creates Unity 36:28 – Tune Everything to Jesus 37:39 – What Communion Produces in Us 41:17 – Everything in Christianity Is By Faith 44:00 – The Bread Is Still Multiplying 44:50 – Prayer for a Communion Revival SCRIPTURE REFERENCEDActs 2:42 — The early church devoted itself to teaching, fellowship, prayer, and breaking bread 1 Corinthians 10:16–21 — Participation in the body and blood of Christ 1 Corinthians 11:23–30 — Remembering Jesus and discerning His body Luke 22:14–20 — Jesus institutes the Lord’s Supper Revelation 19:6–9 — The marriage supper of the Lamb Luke 14:15–24 — The invitation to the great banquet Luke 13:22–30 — The closed door and the urgency of responding John 6:22–59 — Jesus, the Bread of Life and true food John 4:1–42 — The woman at the well leaves her water jar to tell others about Jesus 1 Samuel 21:1–6 — David receives the consecrated bread Exodus 16 — Manna in the wilderness John 17:20–23 — Jesus prays that His people would be one Romans 1:17 — The righteous live by faith Plan Your Visit to SALT Church: https://www.saltchurches.com/Ways to Support the Ministry: https://www.saltchurches.com/givingConnect with SALT Church: https://www.instagram.com/saltchurches/ YouTube: @saltchurchNCConnect with Parker Green: https://www.instagram.com/parkerrichardgreen/Websites: https://www.saltchurches.com/ https://www.saturateglobal.com/#communion #revival #evangelism #gospel #Jesus #saltchurch #parkergreen
