63. Why Holiness Isn’t About Trying Harder ft. Tasha Calvert

What if holiness isn’t restrictive… but freeing?
In this episode of No Matter What, Hanna sits down with author and women’s minister Tasha Calvert to talk about one of the most misunderstood—and avoided—topics in the Christian life: holiness.
Tasha shares why holiness isn’t about perfection or performance, but about surrender. Together, they unpack what it really means to live “set apart” in a culture that pulls us in every direction—and how that identity changes everything from our habits to our relationships to how we walk through suffering.
If you’ve ever felt like following Jesus is just a checklist… or wondered why your faith feels stagnant… this conversation will challenge and encourage you.
✨ You’ll walk away with a fresh perspective on:
-What holiness actually means (and what it doesn’t)
-Why striving fails—but surrender transforms
-How to trust God in hard seasons
-The connection between holiness and everyday life
-Why Christian community is essential for growth
