Episode 217: Rob Harding - Authenticity, Authority & Anointing - The Modern Misunderstanding of Anointing - 17th May 2026

What does “anointing” actually mean? And have we misunderstood it?

In this episode, Rob traces the story of anointing from the Old Testament kings of Israel through exile, expectation, and finally to Jesus — the Anointed One who completely redefined power, victory, and the Kingdom of God.

Rob explores the expectation of the “Messiah,” challenges modern ideas about anointing as an elite spiritual status, and asks what the Bible really says about who is anointed — and why.

This is a conversation about anointing, authority, obedience, abiding, and what it truly means to remain in Christ through the Holy Spirit.
