If you’re a true believer, you know that Christianity is war. And the war can be incredibly fierce at times, but don’t lose heart, because God has shown us how to win. In Galatians 5, Paul says, “Walk by the spirit, and you will not fulfill the lusts of the flesh.” That’s the key to victory.
The key to victory is learning to "walk by the Spirit." Join us for Part 2 of our discussion on Galatians.

In this bonus segment, Josh Rowand talks with Nate and explains how he uses the Bible to connect with God in a meaningful way.
The disciples of Jesus knew that He had big plans for them. They were called to stand for truth in a world that loved lies. They were called to preach the Word of God in a world that hated the Message and the messenger. How would they find the strength to fulfill their calling? There was only one way... by abiding in the Vine.
How will we ever find the strength to bear good fruit in a wicked world? There's only one way. By abiding in the Vine.
So, maybe you’re a fairly new believer in Jesus. You know you've been called to live a noble life, full of wisdom and good fruit. But you just aren’t quite sure how to attain to that. And what’s worse, everyone around you seems to have an opinion about what it takes to get there. And now you're confused. If you can relate to some of these feelings, this episode is for you.

There is no way we can live an overcoming Christian life without the (real) grace of God and love of God. So maybe that’s why the apostles gave really strong warnings about things that sounded like grace and love, but were nothing less than demonic counterfeits that destroyed people’s lives.
Without the (real) grace and love of God, it's impossible to live the Christian life. The counterfeits are worthless.
