175 Discussion | Are You Foolish?

Are you foolish like the Galatians? I know I have been foolish far too often in my Christian journey. The Galatians started well, and they put aside the gift of the Holy Spirit and decided to try and become right with God through their own effort.

Story Episode
Galatians 3:1-14

Questions

  1. What is a temptation you struggle with?
  2. Now that you have shared about a temptation, what has been your response to this temptation? 
  3. The Holy Spirit lives in every Christian and is there to guide and help you through life. How has the Holy Spirit protected and led you away from temptations?

174 I No Longer Live

Bradon: Have you ever wondered, “how do I actually live as a Christian?” 

Jon: When I try to live as a Christian should, I constantly fall short. I am a hypocrite.

Bradon: Today, we see how Paul approaches living the Christian life.

174 Discussion | I No Longer Live

We learned that we can never earn our way to being good in God’s sight. Rather Christ lives through us and makes us whole.

Story Episode
Galatians 2:1-21

Questions

  1. How are you living as a hypocrite? What are you doing that doesn’t align with a perfect and righteous life? 
  2. How would Christ respond to your situation, and how can you grow to respond in the same way?
  3. Reword Galatians 2:20 and make it a prayer. It says, ‘My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.’

173 We all can be Transformed by Christ

Bradon: Okay, I have shared on the podcast before; I really enjoy New Year’s Resolutions!
Jon: I enjoy them too! I can try to be more fun and make more jokes, but I set the bar pretty high already…
Bradon: Well, in our next episode, we learn that it isn’t us who sets the bar… or even makes the change.

173 Discussion | We all can be Transformed by Christ

We read through Galatians 1:11-24. Really it’s just Paul kind of sitting, talking about his past, I think allowing the people in the letters to Galatia to kind of understand him better and then specifically pointing out his transformation through God that is this massive difference from who he was.

Story Episode
Galatians 1:11-24

Questions

  1. If you looked back on a road behind you, your past, what would you see? Life, destruction?
  2. What is one small step you can take to start or continue your transformation in Christ?
  3. Who is someone you would like to write a letter of encouragement to help grow them in their faith?

167 Discussion | What if I Don’t Think I Can?

Paul writes to the Galatian Churches and is challenging them not to lose sight of the core belief that he taught them – the good news! Like the Galatians, we may also feel pressure to fit in and allow the culture to shape us vs Jesus.

Story Episode
Galatians 1:1-10

Questions

  1. In Verse 4, Paul talks about his core belief and describes the world as evil. How does that description make you feel?
  2. Are there any specific challenges about the culture you live in that are at odds or in tension with the teachings of Jesus?
  3. It’s best that our core beliefs come from scripture. Describe what you want your habit of studying scripture to look like? Where might you need help with that?
