The Morning Wake Up speaks with guest Frank Ritchie about the concept of anointing and its biblical roots in both the Old and New Testaments. Frank explains that anointing signifies being set apart by the Spirit of God for a particular purpose, and highlights the New Testament idea that all believers are anointed to serve God in their everyday lives.

Frank also discusses the continued significance of physical anointing with oil in some Christian traditions, such as during baptism or in the anointing of the sick. They explore how the word “anointing” is often used in church culture today, encouraging clearer language that honours church leaders without elevating them above others. Ultimately, the discussion points back to the biblical idea that all believers share in the priesthood and are equally anointed to serve God.
