In this episode of Unfiltered Faith, we finish our journey through Galatians by reading chapters 5–6 and talking through what it really looks like to live in the freedom Christ has given us.

Paul reminds us that following Jesus isn’t about earning our way to God through rules or religion—it’s about a life transformed by the Holy Spirit. We talk about walking by the Spirit, the battle between the flesh and the Spirit, the Fruit of the Spirit, carrying one another’s burdens, and what it means to sow into the things of God.

As we close out Galatians, the challenge is simple: If Christ has truly set us free, does the way we live reflect that freedom?

In this episode of Unfiltered Faith, we continue our journey through Galatians by diving into chapters 3 and 4. Paul challenges the Galatians—and us—to remember that we are made right with God through faith in Jesus, not by our own works or ability to follow the law.

We talk about what it means to be children of God, the freedom we have through Christ, and why it can be so easy to fall back into trying to earn something that Jesus has already freely given us.

We also dig into the supremacy of God—His authority, His sovereignty, and the reality that His plan is greater than our own. From God's promises to Abraham to our adoption as sons and daughters through Christ, Galatians 3–4 reminds us that the story has always been about God's faithfulness, not ours.

Grab your Bible, turn to Galatians 3, and join us as we read, discuss, ask questions, and work through what these chapters mean for our lives today.

What do the names of God actually mean—and why do they matter?

In this first episode of our new series, The Names of God, we explore five of the foundational names God reveals about Himself in Scripture: Elohim, Yahweh (YHWH), Adonai, El Shaddai, and El Elyon. Each name reveals a different aspect of God's character, showing us that He is far more than a distant Creator—He is the eternal, unchanging, all-powerful Lord who reigns over everything.

Join us as we unpack the biblical meaning behind each name, discuss what these truths mean for our everyday lives, and discover how knowing God's names helps us know God Himself more deeply.

Scriptures: Genesis 1:1, Exodus 3:13–15, Psalm 8:1, Genesis 17:1, Genesis 14:18–20.

What if Satan's greatest weapon isn't fear, temptation, or suffering—but deception?

In this episode of Unfiltered Faith, we dive into one of Scripture's clearest descriptions of the enemy: the father of lies. We unpack how Satan twists God's truth, attacks our identity, and uses subtle deception to pull us away from Christ. From the Garden of Eden to our everyday lives, we explore the lies believers still struggle with today and compare them with what the Bible actually says.

Whether you've wrestled with doubt, shame, fear, or the feeling that you're "not enough," this conversation will challenge you to recognize the enemy's tactics and stand firm in God's truth.

Join us as we expose the lies, embrace the truth, and grow in a faith that isn't afraid to ask hard questions.

In this episode of Unfiltered Faith, we're diving into one of the most important foundations for understanding the Bible: context. We unpack the seven contexts that surround Scripture—historical, cultural, geographical, literary, biblical, linguistic, and theological—and explain why they matter when studying God's Word.

Whether you're new to reading the Bible or have been studying it for years, this conversation will help you approach Scripture with greater confidence and clarity. It's a practical introduction that lays the groundwork for many of the conversations we'll have in future episodes as we continue exploring faith, theology, and the Bible together.
