## Resource

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTyXdyIACrg&t=20s Copy and paste for video on Youtube.   In this episode the speaker (a pastor) preaches on "God of the Whole House," using a three-level house image (basement, main floor, upstairs) to explain how God redeems the whole person. He reads and reflects on Isaiah 63, Malachi 3, John, and 1 John, emphasizing God’s plans to refine and restore us—messy, painful, and purposeful. Topics include confession and honesty before God, the danger of stuffing dark parts of ourselves into the “basement,” a critique of modern Christian counseling and Freudian influences, testimonies of spiritual struggle, and the distinction between penal substitution and soul-healing. The sermon urges listeners to bring their real, unpolished selves to Christ for true integration and healing. Guests: none. Key points: God owns and redeems the whole person; true healing requires presenting darkness to God (not hiding it or outsourcing it to counselors alone); God refines and can transform what we surrender to Him.
