DEEDS OF THE FLESH VS. INDWELLING LIFE
Featuring Jonnie T. & Dr. Stephen Phinney
Series Title: “From Flesh to Flame: Exchanging Deeds for Divine Life”
Welcome to The Exchanged Life Podcast, where we confront the illusions of self-effort and awaken to the indwelling Life of Yeshua.
Today, we begin a two-part series that cuts to the core of Christian identity: the exchange of fleshly deeds for the indwelling power of Christ.
In this first episode, we’ll expose the subtle ways believers cling to performance-based righteousness—religious routines, moral checklists, and self-improvement strategies that masquerade as spiritual maturity. But the truth is clear: God never called us to improve the flesh. He called us to crucify it.
We’ll explore how the indwelling Life of Yeshua is not an enhancement to our humanity—it’s a replacement. His Life doesn’t partner with our deeds; it replaces them with divine fruit born of surrender.
🔹 What does it mean to truly exchange your life for His? 🔹 How do we recognize fleshly deeds dressed in religious language? 🔹 And what does the Spirit say to a Church still trying to earn what was meant to be received?
This is not a call to try harder—it’s a call to die deeper. So lean in, take notes, and prepare to be refined. The fire of transformation begins here. Let’s begin Part One: “Exchanging Flesh for Flame.”
In this podcast, Dr. Phinney recommends reading a chapter out of his book, "Busy Minds." Review the chapter HERE.
