In this episode, we’re unpacking MORE THAN JUST the growing trend of Torah-keeping, feast day observance, and dietary codes among modern believers. Our returning guest, Dr. R.L. Solberg, takes us deep into his new book The Law, The Christ, The Promise—a verse-by-verse apologetic study of Galatians that lays out the dangers of blending Old Covenant rituals with New Covenant freedom. From practical theology to table fellowship, from legalism to love, this conversation is rich, nuanced, and deeply encouraging for anyone wrestling with law, liberty, and living out their faith in Christ.Grab the book here-->https://amzn.to/3SDCcmhDr. R.L.
