Welcome

“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” — Psalm 119:105

Hey Y’all,
Welcome to our official blog written by Mrs. Scruffy and podcast by Mr. Scruffy hub! We are thrilled to begin this journey of exploring God’s Word together through the lens of Nazarene theology, which emphasizes the transformative power of holiness, grace, and Christian living.

This blog accompanies the Scruffy Nazarene, a biblical teaching and discussion podcast rooted in the Wesleyan-Holiness tradition of the Church of the Nazarene.  Whether you are a longtime Nazarene, a new believer, or just curious about what it means to live a life fully surrendered to Christ, you are in the right place.

Here is what you can expect from this space:

• 📖 Scripture-centered reflections with bi-weekly podcast highlights
• 🎙️ Guest interviews with pastors, scholars, and lay leaders in the Nazarene community
• 🛠️ Practical discipleship tools grounded in holiness teaching
• 🙏 Opportunities to engage with questions, comments, and prayer requests

This is more than a podcast. It is a place for community, spiritual growth, and deepening our walk with Jesus.

As we launch this new ministry, we invite you to subscribe, share, and most importantly, pray with us. May this space become a small part of God’s larger work in your life.
You can send your prayer requests to info@scruffynaz.com

Grace and peace,
Mrs. Scruffy Nazarene

Called to Holiness Preview

Looking for a different Vacation Bible School Curriculum that is as versatile as your church?! Do you serve ten children or two hundred children in ministry? This curriculum is created to be adaptable.  Pray first and do not get overwhelmed! AVAILABLE TO DOWNLOAD by July 15th!  

KEY MEMORY VERSE: “You must be holy because I, the Lord, am Holy.” Leviticus 20:26”

• Day 1: Introduction to Holiness – Children will be learning that God has called them to be “set apart” and do not be afraid. Using Isaiah 41:10, crafts, and songs, they will learn about being set apart for God’s purpose.
  
• Day 2: Living a Holy Life – This day will focus on practical ways to live a holy life. Children will participate in activities that demonstrate how to make holy choices, show kindness, and serve others. On Day Two, we will focus on Isaiah 40:31, using games, crafts, and songs to praise His name and gain courage like eagles through stories from the Old and New Testament of the Holy Bible. Students will learn to find strength through God and how holiness in their everyday walk affects their actions and decisions arounds them.
  
• Day 3: Celebrating Holiness – “Go & Tell!” Matthew 28:19-20 – Discipleship! We learn how we can Go & Tell others the Good News of Jesus and what he is doing in our lives along with being disciples of Jesus. Note: Day-Three Games is a Huge Relay Race like from the ninety’s. Children will engage in a special worship service, sharing what they have learned and committing to live a holy life. Crafts are optional as families participate in giant rally games such as 3-legged race, egg-spoon race, crab walk, and more.
