Episode Synopsis

In what is thought to be his first letter, Paul writes to the church of Galatia, addressing the issue of false teaching—primarily this argument that you can obtain victory through sole human effort. This is an important lesson for us modern day hustlers—the ones who strive and grind, with the mindset that all we need to do is…well more. Work harder. Faster. And we will get better. The problem is that within this mindset lies a lot of truth. Sowing and reaping. You get out what you put in. Hard work does pay off. The problem is we aren’t just looking for human results. We want supernatural, quantum leaps, into our calling and purpose—we want transformed lives. And that will never be accomplished by being “good” enough. That is God Work. That’s what the Holy Spirit does. And every time we fall into the trap of thinking that we can do it on our own—whatever it is—we set ourselves up to not only spin our wheels in exhaustion, but fall prey to pride—and you know what happens then—a fall. But that doesn’t have to be us. As we start tonight’s study of Galatians, we are going to explore the authenticity of a real relationship with Jesus and the confidence that comes from this closeness, which equips us to reject false teaching and embrace truth! If you’re ready to go to the next level it begins with a sure foundation. So what’s your relationship status? You don’t want to miss this one.
