Podcasts about Galatians

What does it actually mean to be faithful to God—especially when you're waiting, discouraged, or life isn't going according to plan? In this episode of our Fruit of the Spirit series, we're talking about faithfulness and what the Bible teaches about trusting God in every season. We'll unpack God's faithfulness, how to stay consistent in your Christian faith when your feelings change, and why being faithful in the small things matters more than we realize. If you've been struggling to trust God, waiting for an answered prayer, or wanting to grow deeper in your relationship with Jesus, this episode will encourage you to keep showing up, keep obeying, and remember that God is faithful—even when you can't see what He's doing yet.

Pastor Richard Caldwell and Dr. Josh Philpot open Galatians 6:1-5 on bearing one another's burdens: how to restore a fallen brother in a spirit of gentleness, why true spirituality produces humility instead of legalism, and why every believer must also bear his own load before the Lord.

Raised in a Christian home in Nashville, Jess spent 15 years as a prodigal living as a gay man in London—pursuing drama school, intense same-sex relationships, the party scene, drugs, Pride celebrations, and even occult practices—before hitting rock bottom and rediscovering the Bible. This raw, honest conversation explores his journey from the LGBTQ lifestyle to freedom in Jesus Christ, the conflict between flesh and Spirit from Galatians 5, leaving behind a life of bondage, and why he now boldly declares that "being gay is a colossal waste of time." Warning: some moments get graphic and spicy, but the story of transformation, reconciliation, and eternal hope will leave you inspired. Don't miss this life-changing ex-gay testimony!

Uncle Si lets slip the very Si-like thing he says whenever he catches his reflection in the mirror. Jase, Al, and Gordon happily promote Si to elder statesman of the Robertson clan while they trace James' warning about gossip, slander, bitterness, and the unruly tongue. Gordon recalls the church hurt that consumed him until the Lord's Prayer forced him to reconsider forgiveness and the way he viewed the man who wounded him. The guys discover how remembering that every person bears God's image can transform relationships, unite unlikely people in Jesus, and replace the fear of death with real freedom.

Can I tell you something that took me a long time to see in my own life? That voice telling you to push harder, do better, keep going - the one that sounds like it's helping you? It might not be encouragement at all. In this episode, I'm starting a two-part conversation about shame, self-criticism, and why being so hard on yourself is actually keeping you stuck rather than moving you forward. I'm going to talk about the difference between guilt and shame, how shame quietly fuels the patterns you can't seem to break, and what Galatians 5 showed me about the internal war so many of us feel while we're healing.  Also, don't forget!

You can be surrounded by problems and still be called to rejoice, not because you're ignoring reality, but because God has already written victory into your story. We open with Psalm 92 and a simple challenge: be glad, give thanks, and sing for joy at the works of God's hands. If you've been carrying pressure in your career, health, finances, or relationships, this message is a reset for your mind and your faith.We talk about what changes when you say yes to Jesus: the Holy Spirit comes to live within you, and you gain a new identity and authority in Christ. That means you don't have to live cowered by fear or pushed into passivity. We unpack why the enemy targets your confidence, how doubt and unbelief try to get an “open door,” and why remembering God's past faithfulness is one of the most practical ways to strengthen your trust right now.Scripture anchors every step, including 1 John 5:4 on faith overcoming the world and Galatians 2:20 on Christ living in us. We also share a powerful testimony tied to 2 Chronicles 20:17, a reminder that some battles are won by standing firm, praising first, and watching God move. You'll leave with clear encouragement to see the victory by faith, speak God's promises out loud, and worship from a place of confidence.Please share it with a friend who needs courage today.Send Tony a Texthttps://www.seldicompany.com/

Who Can You Trust Online? In a world where social media can make anyone an overnight authority, how do we know who's teaching biblical truth and who's simply gaining influence?In this episode, I am joined by Rod Smith of Millenial Mustard Seed podcast, we discuss why Scripture commands believers to test every spirit, examine every teacher, and measure every message against God's Word—not popularity, charisma, or compelling testimonies.We cover:Why social media has changed who influences the Church.The rise of ex-occult and New Age influencers—and why testimony alone isn't enough.Red flags to watch for in pastors, podcasters, and Christian influencers.How to develop biblical discernment instead of following personalities.Why this conversation is more important now than ever as deception increases.Key Scriptures: 1 John 4:1, Acts 17:11, Matthew 7:15-23, Galatians 1:8-9, 2 Timothy 4:3-4If this episode encouraged you, please follow the podcast, leave a review, and share.-------------------------------Amy is a Christian counselor - book an appointment:https://www.biblicalguidancecounseling.com/appointmentsAmy's online Bible studies:https://rumble.com/c/BibleStudywithEyesontheright?e9s=src_v1_cmdInstagram: @eyesontherightpodcast@eyesontheright-------------------Follow Rod- https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/rodney-jay/

How do you follow Jesus in a world that does not always share your values? In Exiles, we study Daniel 1-6 and learn how to live with integrity, courage, wisdom, and prayer when God's faithfulness is costly. God's people do not have to withdraw or blend in, we can live faithfully because God is present and sovereign, even in Babylon. Key Verses: Daniel 1:1-6, Gen 11:4, Gen 11:9, Daniel 4:4-5, 22, 25-37, Galatians 4:7, Isaiah 55: 7-9 Copper Hills Church exists to help each other increasingly Be With, Think Like, & Be Mistaken For Jesus. Find out more: www.copperhills.org

When you feel weak, forgotten, or ready to quit, Jesus does not measure your life by its headlines. He calls you to hold fast, trust His authority, and stay faithful.In this message, you'll explore Jesus' encouragement to a church that had little worldly strength but refused to abandon its faith. The message confronts our instinct to force doors open, control outcomes, and measure success by influence, while pointing us back to dependence on Christ.  Jesus is the One who opens doors, strengthens the weak, and gives His people an identity that cannot be shaken.Whether you're discouraged in your marriage, parenting, work, ministry, or calling, this message speaks to the part of you wondering whether you can keep going. If prayer feels unanswered or life feels unstable, discover how faithfulness in your current assignment can become an act of trust.In this message you'll discover:— Why Jesus' authority matters when you are trying to force doors open.— How God works through dependence and weakness rather than self-sufficiency.— Why your neighborhood, workplace, family, and current season are not accidents but assignments.— How to stop fighting every critic, hold fast to Jesus, and keep going when quitting feels easier.Key Scriptures: Revelation 3:7–13, Isaiah 22:22, John 10:9, Matthew 5:3, Galatians 6:9, Romans 12:19, Psalm 59:16

To God, the greatest tragedy isn't giving your life for others; it's a life lived only for yourself. In this episode, Pastor Phil Hopper unpacks Galatians 6:10-18 and what it means to follow Jesus and bear His marks in a world that avoids suffering. You'll learn why the Apostle Paul pointed to his scars from persecution as evidence of authentic faith, and why we're consecrated to whatever we're willing to die for; until we're willing to die for Christ, we'll never fully live for Him. Discover the four marks of a crucified, consecrated life: Dangerous Faith, Suffering Faith, Sacrificing Faith, and Holy Faith, and why the crucified life, not a comfortable one, is the only way to experience the abundant life.

What happens when one apostle publicly confronts another? In Galatians 2:11–21, Peter knows that Jews and Gentiles are one in Christ—but fear causes his actions to contradict his beliefs. Paul refuses to remain silent because the truth of the gospel is at stake. Matt and Todd explore why Paul confronted Peter publicly, how even mature believers can stumble, and why loving confrontation is sometimes necessary. Along the way, they uncover the life-changing truth at the heart of Paul's correction: We are made right with God through faith in Jesus Christ, not through religious performance.

Full Transcript Below: When You Don’t Know Why You’re Anxious By Jennifer Slattery Bible Reading:Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting (Psalm 139:23-24, NIV). I’ve experienced chronic anxiety for as long as I can remember. Until about five years ago, I assumed this was mostly biological, with a few uncomfortable scenarios sprinkled in. And while there may have been some truth to that, I’ve since learned a lot more occurred beneath the surface than I realized. That was a problem, because it’s hard to manage something with roots below conscious awareness. But one day, as I read Psalm 139, a thought hit. The lord knows me better than I know myself. He sees things in my soul that I don’t, and He lovingly shines His healing light into all those spaces where lies and unprocessed hurts reside. From that day on, I began praying today’s passage, asking God to reveal everything within me that weakened my relationship with Him and hindered my peace. David, ancient Israel’s second king who penned Psalm 139, began with a declaration of a truth I find comforting. “You have searched me, Lord, and you know me” (v.1). Not because God needed increased information. The Lord knew everything about him, since before he took his first breath. He then expanded on this in verses 2-4, saying, “You know when I sit and when I rise;you perceive my thoughts from afar.You discern my going out and my lying down;you are familiar with all my ways.Before a word is on my tongueyou, Lord, know it completely.” David was saying, “You know every thought, concern and motive.” The same is true for us. The Lord knows every task weighing heavily on our hearts, every frustration we’ll encounter, and each moment that might challenge our peace and self-control. He sees the pits ahead of us and the detours we’ll feel tempted to take. Some find this depth of knowledge intimidating, maybe because they don’t understand God’s heart. The One who probes the deepest places within us is the same God who gave us His Son, that we might live. David understood this grace. In 1 Samuel 25, he became enraged and nearly annihilated an entire household because of one man’s offense. But the Lord used a wise woman named Abigail to stop him. Later, when David should have been out commanding his army (2 Samuel 11:1), he instead remained home, casually ambling upon the palace rooftop, which was designed to allow kings a bird’s eye view of their land, including the people they ruled. While there, he happened to see a married woman in the land below performing her post-menstrual ritual, per Jewish law. David lusted after and used his authority and royal officials to take her. In modern days, this would’ve fallen well within the #me too movement, because I highly doubt, in this patriarchal society where men often treated women as property, that Bathsheba had the ability, not to mention courage, to refuse the “request” of royal officials or the advances of a king. Then, as if that wasn’t atrocious enough, upon learning his victim was pregnant, he had her husband killed—to hide his sin. Yet, although he did experience consequences, he also received grace (Ps. 51), considering the extent of his sin, extreme grace. Because that’s the promise God made. When we confess our sins, every and any sin, He is faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us of all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). He never searches our souls to condemn us. Rather, He probes and illuminates to cover our biggest faults with mercy and undeserved favor. Everything He does and allows flows from these two motives: One is to bring us flourishing life characterized by love, joy, and peace (Galatians 5:22-23). His second is to reveal His glory, which is another way of saying who He is in all His attributes. His goal? To awaken our awareness of His greatness so that we would turn to and depend more fully on Him, which is the only way to experience the thriving life Jesus promised in John 10:10. Intersecting Life & Faith: The more we grasp Christ’s heart and ways, the more we want him to reveal those things that are keeping us stuck—in anxiety, fear, anger, bitterness, rage. Whatever distorts our perspective and causes us to behave in ways contrary to who we truly are. Let me read today’s passage again, and perhaps make this your prayer: Search me, God, and know my heart. To the ancient Hebrews, the heart was the source of our motivations, thoughts, and will, including our subconscious. “Test me, Lord.” Look beyond our external behavior to examine those thoughts, motives, and patterns, conscious or not, triggering our anxiety. But here’s the beautiful part. God reveals what’s harmful within us in order to lead us one step further on His path to thriving, everlasting life. The fact that the Lord preserved this prayer in Scripture indicates He intends for us to actively pursue this level of transformation. To invite Him to reveal whatever is keeping us from full, thriving life. That’s a powerful step toward living free.

If you are searching, "why do I keep sabotaging my business" or "how do I stop self-sabotage as a Christian entrepreneur", then this episode is for you as it directly answers that question. Is your business starting to work and you're somehow finding ways to slow it down, derail it, or talk yourself out of it?  Friend, you are not broken. But you do have a pattern that needs a name. In this episode, I break down the spiritual root of self-sabotage and why strategy alone will never fix it. Welcome to The S.A.F.E. Trap, Four faces of self-sabotage every Christian woman entrepreneur falls into: Shrinking when God said expand, Abandoning when it gets hard, Flooding your focus with comparison, and Escaping into endless preparation. Each one is grounded in Scripture, including Numbers 14:2-3, 1 Peter 5:8, Galatians 6:9, Proverbs 16:3, and Philippians 1:6. You'll learn why the Israelites in the wilderness are the original self-sabotage story and why every premature pivot resets the harvest you were about to see. This action plan gives you four concrete steps: identify your default S.A.F.E. Trap, make a 30-day no-pivot commitment, mute your comparison triggers for one week, and pray a specific prayer of repentance and recommitment over your calling. God did not give you this calling so you could talk yourself out of it every six weeks. The business He gave you hasn't expired and it has not been reassigned. It just needs your consistent, committed obedience.  I pray this episode is the one that finally makes it click.   Ready to Make Consistent Income From a Podcast?

Dark seasons don't have to be the end of the story. Chuck shares how one difficult situation became an opportunity to bring hope to someone else. Sometimes the greatest thing we can offer isn't advice or answers, it's simply being a friend. A kind word, a listening ear, and choosing to walk alongside someone can make more of a difference than we realize. As followers of Christ, we're called to love others well, even when life is hard. You never know how God might use your willingness to simply be there. "Carry one another's burdens; in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ." — Galatians 6:2

Share a commentGetting slapped in public is the kind of moment that reveals what is really in us. Stephen Davy opens with a story from his teen years: a stranger strikes his father, and instead of striking back, his father answers with calm control. That single response becomes a window into a biblical word most of us misunderstand, because meekness is not weakness. It is strength under control, guided by a heart submitted to the Holy Spirit.We step away from Exodus for a focused look at the one quality Scripture uniquely highlights in only two men: Moses and Jesus Christ. Walking through key passages in Galatians 5, Colossians 3, Psalms 25, and 1 Peter 3, we trace meekness as both fruit and virtue, something God calls “precious” and something we intentionally “put on” as we mature. Then we watch it play out in real life: Moses facing family criticism in Numbers 12 without self-defense, and Jesus inviting the weary to His yoke in Matthew 11 with gentle authority that brings true spiritual rest.The second half turns into a practical meekness test for everyday relationships: how we correct people who oppose us (2 Timothy 2), live with an unbelieving spouse (1 Peter 3), speak to skeptics with gentleness and reverence, receive hard truth from Scripture (James 1), restore someone caught in sin (Galatians 6), protect church unity (Ephesians 4), and respond to an antagonistic culture with consideration (Titus 3). If you want a Christian perspective on conflict resolution, spiritual maturity, and Christlike character, this teaching will recalibrate your tone and your instincts.Subscribe for more, share this with a friend who needs calmer courage, and leave a review so more listeners can find Wisdom for the Heart.Learn more about twenty-five years of global impact, and reserve tickets to our gala. https://www.wisdomonline.org/mp/25 Learn more: https://www.wisdomonline.org/Support the show

“What joy for the nation whose God is the Lord, whose people he has chosen as his inheritance.” (Psalm 33:12 NLT) A few decades ago, the 75th anniversary issue of Forbes magazine featured a theme that still resonates today: “Why do we feel so bad when we have it so good?” The magazine noted that most Americans live better than almost any other people on the planet, yet many people in our culture struggle with depression and an unfavorable outlook on life. Editor James Michaels wrote, “Why is this nation that marched so proudly into the 20th century slouching so dejectedly toward the third millennium?” The article went on to cite the alarming loss of values, absolutes, and meaning in contemporary life. What’s gone wrong? The person on the lowest rung of the economic ladder in America still has it better than most other people in the world today. We enjoy things that citizens of other countries can only dream about, yet we still have a sense of emptiness. Why? I think Abraham Lincoln answered that question well when he said, “We have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious hand which preserved us in peace and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us, and we have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own.” President Lincoln was right. We have forgotten God. And it’s even truer today than it was when he made that proclamation in 1863. We’ve tried to push God out of the courtroom, out of the classroom, and, for all practical purposes, out of our culture. As a result, we’ve lost the joy, fulfillment, and sense of purpose that come from remembering, celebrating, and obeying our heavenly Father. The psalmist wrote, “What joy for the nation whose God is the Lord, whose people he has chosen as his inheritance” (Psalm 33:12 NLT). The flip side of that would be, “What misery for the nation whose God is not the Lord, whose people have rejected His inheritance.” And that’s where we find ourselves today. Will good ever prevail over evil? Or are we simply doomed to failure? The answer to America’s problems isn’t political; it’s spiritual. We need to turn back to God. We need to take Him at His Word. In 2 Chronicles 7:14, the Lord said, “Then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land” (NLT). Therefore, it is my belief that our country has two choices before it. One is judgment. The apostle Paul wrote, “Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap” (Galatians 6:7 NKJV). That goes for nations as well. The other option is the one we’ve been focusing on this month: a spiritual awakening or revival. And that’s what we need to pray for today in the United States of America.

Share a commentGetting slapped in public is the kind of moment that reveals what is really in us. Stephen Davy opens with a story from his teen years: a stranger strikes his father, and instead of striking back, his father answers with calm control. That single response becomes a window into a biblical word most of us misunderstand, because meekness is not weakness. It is strength under control, guided by a heart submitted to the Holy Spirit.We step away from Exodus for a focused look at the one quality Scripture uniquely highlights in only two men: Moses and Jesus Christ. Walking through key passages in Galatians 5, Colossians 3, Psalms 25, and 1 Peter 3, we trace meekness as both fruit and virtue, something God calls “precious” and something we intentionally “put on” as we mature. Then we watch it play out in real life: Moses facing family criticism in Numbers 12 without self-defense, and Jesus inviting the weary to His yoke in Matthew 11 with gentle authority that brings true spiritual rest.The second half turns into a practical meekness test for everyday relationships: how we correct people who oppose us (2 Timothy 2), live with an unbelieving spouse (1 Peter 3), speak to skeptics with gentleness and reverence, receive hard truth from Scripture (James 1), restore someone caught in sin (Galatians 6), protect church unity (Ephesians 4), and respond to an antagonistic culture with consideration (Titus 3). If you want a Christian perspective on conflict resolution, spiritual maturity, and Christlike character, this teaching will recalibrate your tone and your instincts.Subscribe for more, share this with a friend who needs calmer courage, and leave a review so more listeners can find Wisdom for the Heart.Learn more about twenty-five years of global impact, and reserve tickets to our gala. https://www.wisdomonline.org/mp/25 Learn more: https://www.wisdomonline.org/Support the show

Today on the Daily Nugget, Mike reflects on Galatians 5:7–12, where Paul reminds us that the Christian life is a race worth running—but only when it is centered on the gospel and a growing relationship with Jesus Christ rather than ourselves or a relationship with the law. Anything that shifts our focus from Christ to our own performance hinders our spiritual progress, but the gospel keeps us grounded in God's grace, empowers us to walk in freedom, and enables us to persevere with joy as we keep our eyes fixed on the One who has already won the victory for us.

In this message, Pastor Alex continues the Set Free series by exploring Galatians 2:11-21 and reminding us that the Gospel doesn't just change what we believe, it transforms the way we live. Through Paul's confrontation with Peter, we see the dangers of living for the approval of people instead of God and the freedom that comes through justification by faith in Christ alone. This message encourages us to reject performance-based Christianity, embrace our new identity in Jesus, and live each day by faith in the One who loved us and gave Himself for us.Scriptures:Galatians 2:11-21Galatians 1:10Acts 10Galatians 2:14Galatians 2:15-162 Corinthians 5:21Galatians 2:17-20Our Links:calvarymd.comcalvarymd.com/givefacebook.com/calvaryfrederick

It is easy to fall asleep when you are comfortable. But spiritual complacency can leave you vulnerable before you even realize you are drifting.In this message from the SEVEN LETTERS series, we examine Jesus' warning to the church in Sardis—a church with a reputation for being alive but a spiritual condition that told a different story. Sardis was conquered twice by stealth, and its history gives us a vivid picture of what happens when comfort replaces vigilance.Whether your faith feels routine, your relationships feel like maintenance, or you are simply going through the motions, this message challenges you to wake up and strengthen what remains. The Holy Spirit is the one who gives life, but we are called to respond with intentional faith.In this message you'll discover:— Why comfort can quietly lead to spiritual complacency— How resistance may reveal that you are moving in the right direction— What it means to remember, guard, and repent— Five practical ways to wake up your faith: gather purposefully, serve selflessly, connect deeply, influence daily, and give generouslyKey Scriptures: Revelation 3:1-6, John 16:33, Luke 6:26, Hebrews 10:24, Galatians 5:13, Proverbs 18:24, Matthew 5:14-16, 2 Corinthians 8:2-3

Have you ever struggled to open your Bible or felt disconnected from God? In today's Crosswalk Devotional, we reflect on Galatians 6:9 and discover that spiritual weariness doesn't mean your faith has failed. Even the most faithful believers experience seasons of exhaustion, discouragement, and spiritual dryness—but God invites us to keep taking small, faithful steps instead of giving up. Rather than striving for the perfect quiet time, God calls us to remain faithful in the little things. One verse, one prayer, or one quiet moment in His presence can become the beginning of renewed strength. Even when you can't see it, God is working beneath the surface, producing spiritual growth that will bear fruit in His perfect timing. Highlights: Discover why spiritual weariness is a normal part of the Christian journey—not a sign of failed faith. Learn what Galatians 6:9 teaches about perseverance when you feel spiritually exhausted. Be encouraged that faithfulness matters more than feelings or motivation. Find practical ways to reconnect with God through small, consistent daily habits. Understand how seasons of dryness often become places where God develops deeper spiritual maturity. Rest in the promise that God is producing a harvest, even when you can't yet see the fruit. Join the Conversation Have you ever gone through a spiritually dry season? What simple habit or Scripture has helped you reconnect with God when your motivation was low? We'd love to hear your story in the comments.

Full Transcript Below: What to Do When You Feel Spiritually Unmotivated By Sarah Frazer Bible Reading:“And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.” - Galatians 6:9 (ESV) I didn’t want to read my Bible. That is something that is hard to admit, especially since I’ve been a Christian for over twenty-five years. Of course, it hasn’t always been this way. Many mornings, I wake up ready to open up God’s Word and dive in. On other days, I’ve woken up late, or weary, or both. The Bible sits on the table next to my favorite chair unopened for the day. The guilt washes over me, and I wonder if tomorrow will be better. Only tomorrow isn’t better, and my life spirals into a pattern of being spiritually unmotivated. How do we keep going, keep having faith, and keep trusting God when our spiritual life feels empty? After a while, I’ve missed more than just a day, but a routine. After neglecting my time with God, I’ve seen a shift in my heart. Something is just… off. Many spiritual leaders, teachers, and authors talk about these seasons. They often call this time in our lives the “wilderness” season. This metaphor comes from the stories in the Bible when God would lead people into a physical wilderness, with little water, food, or shelter. It is a spot where maybe God’s blessings seem nonexistent. Our wilderness season isn’t something we rush through, muster through, or a time to abandon our faith. The hardest thing for me in a season of deep hardship, whether that is physically, spiritually, or emotionally, is that my motivation for the spiritual disciplines comes and goes. Our faith doesn’t feel vibrant, but dry. Let me offer some encouragement right here: a lack of enthusiasm doesn’t mean a lack of faith; it just means you are human. Paul writes in Galatians 6:9 to the believers: “Let us not grow weary in doing good…” Paul acknowledged the possibility and likelihood of being weary. In fact, Paul also included himself in that category. He said, “Let us…” It was even possible and probably that Paul would grow tired. Even faithful believers get exhausted! The answer Paul offers is not, “try harder…” but “don’t give up.” I’ll admit that in the middle of feeling fatigued, I always imagined God telling me to try harder, do better, and just move forward. In the middle of my messes and mistakes, God instead invites me to explore maybe why I’m so tired. Some simple self-reflection with the help of God's Spirit can help us pinpoint a reason for our wilderness season. Maybe it is because of physical exhaustion. Life is full, and many times we enter a period of time where we can get very little sleep, and our bodies are just tired. Emotional heaviness can also cause stress and discouragement. Carrying the weight of emotional hurt and heartache, whether that is our own or others’, leaves us fatigued. The dry seasons of life, especially our spiritual life, can sometimes be because of the repetitive nature of our lives. Getting up, doing the same thing, and repeating our days week after week, month after month, can wear us out. When we find ourselves in this type of routine, we might also place unrealistic expectations on what a quiet time with God “should” look like. What do we do when we wake up each morning unable to motivate ourselves spiritually? First, we keep it simple and small. Read one verse. Write a verse on a card and keep it by your bed or in your bathroom. Take one moment of your morning and turn towards God. As you do this, remove the pressure to have the “perfect” quiet time. Or, better yet, don’t try to copy or emulate what your time with God used to be like. Our faith is a growing faith, which means it changes. Paul’s answer to weariness was not to work harder, but not to give up. Showing up imperfectly is better than not showing up at all. Faithfulness goes much deeper than simple motivation. Paul says we will feel weary, but the harvest is coming. He says we will “reap,” which means there will be growth and fruit! If you feel unmotivated today, you’re not alone. And you don’t have to have it all together to keep going. God simply invites you not to give up. To take one small step. To trust that even in this season, He is growing something you cannot yet see. Intersecting Faith & Life: When you feel spiritually unmotivated, what is one small, simple way you can turn your attention back to God today? Try simply to read a verse, or say one prayer on your way to work this morning. Put your Bible in a place where you drink your coffee or get ready. The audio version of the Bible is also a great way to connect with God on the go.

Pastor Davey Collins unpacks Galatians 2, revealing how the gospel of grace gives us a new identity in Christ. Discover why grace—not legalism—is the foundation of our freedom and salvation.

Discover what it means to grow into spiritual maturity through the lives of two very different followers of Jesus: John Mark, who failed and found restoration, and Timothy, who faithfully grew into a leader. Walking through key passages from Acts, 1 & 2 Timothy, Colossians, Philemon, 1 Peter, and Galatians, this message explores how God uses discipleship, grace, and community to shape us into people who make disciples. Whether you've stumbled in your faith or you're looking to help others grow, this sermon offers biblical encouragement and practical wisdom for moving forward with Christ.

A listener named Chris pushes back on Dr. Craig's video "What About Baptism?", where Craig said baptism "is not a cardinal doctrine that need divide us." Chris argues that Galatians teaches only one true gospel — so if baptismal regeneration (the belief that baptism is necessary for salvation) is wrong, its proponents are preaching a false gospel, making fellowship with them untenable. Dr. Craig responds that Chris has misread the sacramentalist position: those who hold to baptismal regeneration don't see baptism as a meritorious work, but as one more means of grace, like preaching or Scripture reading. Craig explains why he can disagree with fellow baptized Christians on this point without treating them as false brethren.

Under the direction of the Spirit and his inner influence, you live DIFFERENT. Absolutely nothing changes a person like the Spirit of God. This is change from within, change at the very core of who you are. It is lasting change that makes you into a radically new person. The Holy Spirit leaves nothing untouched, nothing undone, nothing unchanged. Gradually and continually God’s presence within you reshapes your heart, renews your mind, and aligns your life with his purposes. As cliche as it may sound, it’s true – JESUS WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE! The old self is made new. You receive a new way of thinking, new desires, new priorities, and a new perspective on life. What once controlled you no longer defines you. 2 Corinthians 5:17, “Anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!”” Yeah – that’s real!!!! As this transformation takes place, different fruit naturally begins to appear in your life. You are no longer producing the works of the flesh; instead, the life of Jesus is begins flowing through you. And that’s really what we’ve been studying – It’s less of you and more of Him. That’s what FRUIT is. Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. And the beautiful thing, it all happens so naturally. This isn’t a matter of your extreme effort to try and be better – this is all because of the Holy Spirit at work within you. The fruit of the Spirit is the visible evidence of an invisible presence. It is proof that God is changing you from the inside out. You are simply not who you once were, and the fruit your life now produces shows it. Remember when we began this study all the way back in episode #2141? We created two columns. On the left was the column labeled “Without the Holy Spirit” from Galatians 5:19-21. On the right was the column labeled “With the Holy Spirit” from Galatians 5:22-23. That left column was the list of yuck. It’s what naturally grows in our lives when we’re left to ourselves. When we follow our own desires, allow the world to become our primary influence, and ignore the leading of God, we drift to the left. We don’t have to strive for it. We don’t have to work at it. The acts of the flesh come naturally because they flow from our fallen nature. The list was difficult to study because it’s painfully familiar. We’ve seen it in our own lives. We’ve watched it unfold in the lives of people we care about. We’ve witnessed the damage it causes. Deep down, we know Paul wasn’t describing “those people.” He was describing what happens to ALL people apart from the transforming work of the Holy Spirit. All people, including us. There’s an inward battle taking place, and eventually that inward reality produces outward evidence. That’s why Paul begins with sexual immorality, impurity, and lustful pleasures. How many homes have been broken, marriages destroyed, and lives derailed by those acts of the flesh? Good people become entangled in destructive choices. They didn’t wake up one morning intending to wreck everything. It happened gradually. The seeds were planted, watered, and allowed to grow because they followed the desires of the flesh instead of the direction of the Spirit. That’s life on the left side of the page—life without the Holy Spirit’s influence. Then Paul moves to idolatry and sorcery—our pursuit of meaning, security, answers, and power apart from God. We take the sacred place in our hearts that belongs to God alone and fill it with substitutes. We trust things more than God. We seek things before God. We look to people, possessions, experiences, success, or substances to satisfy needs only God can meet. No one has to teach us how to do that. Our flesh naturally gravitates in that direction. We self-medicate. We chase escapes. We look for shortcuts. And before long, what we thought we controlled begins to control us. We arouse the ugly demon of addiction and end up with a life that looks a whole lot like hell. My friends, that’s life without the Holy Spirit. That’s where the flesh leads. That’s life on the wrong side of the page. That’s life in the yuck. But Paul isn’t finished. The list continues with hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension, division, envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other sins like these. Notice how much of this list destroys relationships. The flesh doesn’t just corrupt us personally—it fractures families, divides churches, ruins friendships, and turns people against one another. Wherever the flesh is leading, unity suffers and people get hurt. And perhaps the most gut wrenching truth of all is this: None of these things require effort. Left to ourselves, this is the direction we naturally drift. The works of the flesh are not learned behaviors as much as they are revealed behaviors. They expose what happens when self sits on the throne and God is pushed aside. Hell’s marketing strategy is to make the left side of the page look more fun, more free, and more desirable. But the truth is, life without the direction of the Holy Spirit is hell on Earth. It’s not freedom, it’s bondage. All that looked desirable quickly turns to destruction. This proven reality we’ve seen play out in countless lives makes the right side of the page in contrast so beautiful. Life WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT. Life under the influence of God. Galatians 5:22-23 shows us what happens when the Holy Spirit takes His rightful place in our lives. Instead of the works of the flesh, there is the fruit of the Spirit. Instead of destruction, there is transformation. And it looks like this: Love Joy Peace Patience Kindness Goodness Faithfulness Gentleness Self-Control That’s MORE JESUS flowing through us. Less flesh. Less world. Less “left side” and more “right side.” The Holy Spirit is steadily, faithfully producing something new in us. These qualities begin to grow naturally as we walk with Him, changing not only what we do, but who we are becoming. The works of the flesh are things we do because of who we are apart from God. The fruit of the Spirit is what grows because of who God is within us. Fruit is evidence of life. An apple tree doesn’t strain to produce apples. It produces apples because that’s its nature. In the same way, when the Holy Spirit is alive and active in us, spiritual fruit begins to appear. Not perfectly. Not overnight. But steadily. Consistently. Supernaturally. Love starts replacing selfishness. Joy starts overcoming despair. Peace starts calming anxiety. Patience starts slowing anger. Kindness starts softening harshness. Goodness starts reshaping motives. Faithfulness starts creating consistency. Gentleness starts replacing forcefulness. Self-control starts winning battles that once seemed impossible. This is what the Spirit does. This is the miracle of transformation. He doesn’t just change our destination; He changes our character. He doesn’t simply forgive us and leave us as we are. He renews us from the inside out. Now let’s look at the final sentence in Paul’s teaching on the fruit of the Spirit. After listing all these qualities, he says: “There is no law against these things!” At first glance, that almost sounds unnecessary. Well, of course there isn’t a law against love. Of course there isn’t a law against kindness or goodness or self-control. Why would Paul even need to say that? Because throughout the book of Galatians, Paul has been addressing people who were obsessed with rules, regulations, and religious performance. They believed spiritual maturity came through keeping laws. They thought holiness could be achieved by trying harder, performing better, and following more rules. Paul is making a point. You will never legally work your way into the fruit of the Spirit. No law can make you loving. No rule can make you joyful. No regulation can produce peace. No amount of external pressure can create genuine patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, or self-control. Laws can restrain behavior, but only the Holy Spirit can transform the heart. The law can tell you what is right, but it cannot give you the power to live right. The law can expose sin, but it cannot produce fruit. Only the Spirit can do that. And when the Spirit produces these qualities in a person’s life, no law is needed because the very purpose of the law is already being fulfilled. A person walking in love doesn’t need a law telling them not to harm their neighbor. A person walking in self-control doesn’t need a law warning them against excess. A person walking in goodness, faithfulness, and gentleness is already living in a way that honors God and blesses others. Paul’s point is that the Spirit accomplishes what the law never could. This life of following Jesus is not primarily about trying harder to be better. It is about surrendering more deeply to the One who can actually change us. And that’s really the lesson of the fruit of the Spirit. The goal was never to memorize a list. The goal was never to grit our teeth and manufacture more patience or force ourselves to be more loving. The goal is to stay connected to Jesus, yield to the Holy Spirit, and allow Him to produce in us what we could never produce on our own. Because when the Spirit has His way, the flesh loses its grip. The old life begins to fade. And little by little, day by day, the life of Jesus becomes visible in us.

Jase drops the news that Phil and Miss Kay's legacy of serving the homeless inspires local doctors to honor their work by transforming the site of their former ministry into a new community clinic.
