If bearing the fruit of the Spirit looks like bearing the burden of someone "caught" or buckling, and doing so in a spirit of gentleness, the counter-attack of the flesh looks like your pride swelling with the ego of your good deeds. Paul effectively warns us to check ourselves before we wreck ourselves, and "stand alone together." Listen to this week's episode of THE BETTER FREEDOM with Jeff & St...

"Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ." This mighty admonition on the heels of last week's conversation on the "gentle hand of restoration" is not for the faint of heart, but is a beautiful privilege and burden of its own merit for everyone in the Body of Jesus. Jeff and Steph discuss Galatians 6:2 in this week's episode of THE BETTER FREEDOM, our ongoing season of THE BETT...

Perhaps the most offensive and beautiful passage in all of Galatians is the subject of this week's episode: what to do with a member of our faith family when they get "caught" in a transgression. "WWJD?" may well lead us all to scratch our heads in wonder, but "blessed is he who is not offended because of [Jesus]," and there is gold to mine in these hills.

The narrow way that leads to life is the path of the Spirit that bears the fruit of the Spirit in our interior lives. This week, Jeff and Steph push past the Sunday School familiarity with this passage and Stephanie shares how this always reminds her of the time she discovered she has a crippling fear of heights. Listen to the latest episode of THE BETTER FREEDOM now.

No one wants to spend an entire episode discussing things that are not holy, but that's just what we do this week. We have to. Let us see a life without the Spirit for what it is, where it leads us, and how easy this path is to find and walk down. Next week, we'll see the "more excellent way." Listen to "The Wide Road Way of the Flesh (Gal. 5:19-21)" with Jeff & Steph now in this week's episode of...

Jeff & Steph sit in Galatians 5:16-18 for a second week, discussing the broader theological and practical implications of "walking in the Spirit." Listen to "To Live Truly Free," our latest edition of our THE BETTER FREEDOM season in Galatians, now in the FAI App.

To "walk by the Spirit" and "not gratify the desires of the flesh" is less a list of "dos & don'ts" and more....a dance. Listen to "Dancing with the Spirit (Gal. 5:16-18)" with Jeff and Steph now, in the latest episode of THE BETTER FREEDOM, here in the FAI App.

Gabe talks with Farhad on location in Iraqi Kurdistan about the current state of the Yezidi people.

Living as "the freest Man alive" lived (and lives) has immediate implications on our relationships. In life, you have brothers (& sisters) and neighbors. How does your freedom in Jesus bear upon how to best relate to the people around you? Jeff Henderson returns for a second solo episode on Galatians 5:13-15. Listen to "Brothers and Neighbors," our latest episode in THE BETTER FREEDOM, now.

"For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' But if you bite and devour one another, beware lest you be consumed by one another!" We are not meant to live as cannibals. Join Jeff this week for a meditati...

We "have need of endurance" to "run the race set before us" "looking to Jesus, the Author and Perfector of our faith." No big deal. Life is hard. And finding the narrow road is difficult to do. It's even harder to stay on it. So imagine how devastating it would be to "run well" and yet allow a "hindrance" to keep you from "obeying the truth." It's one thing to trip; it's another thing to allow a "...

Forty-four days after the death of Masha Amini, street demonstrations and labor strikes continue in cities across Iran and abroad, even as the head of Iran’s notorious revolutionary guard corps issues a veiled threat against demonstrators.
