LIVE DISCUSSION: A Fair Show (Part 1 of 4)
Manage episode 513551021 series 2796785
Ever wondered why good efforts sometimes seem to backfire while the shortcuts win the day? We open Galatians 6 and sit with Paul’s unflinching claim: you reap what you sow. From generous support of faithful teaching to the deeper motives behind our giving, we explore why “God is not mocked” is less a threat and more a promise that reality will match the seed—flesh yields corruption, the Spirit yields life. Along the way, we talk candidly about delay, disappointment, and the strange way that doing good can draw opposition, then frame those tensions with the hope of a “due season” that arrives on God’s clock, not ours.
You’ll hear a roundtable of voices wrestling with the grind of perseverance. We unpack how to keep going when results lag, why enduring trials can actually confirm spiritual growth, and how everyday choices—service, generosity, integrity—become seeds with futures baked in. We trade quick outcomes for slow formation, fast weeds for rooted grass, and instant meals for a slow, nourishing feast. A fresh look at David and Goliath reframes obstacles as opportunities to trust God’s deliverance, not our timelines, and challenges us to measure success by faithfulness. We also face a hard truth: hypocrisy has an expiration date. Time and fruit reveal what was really sown.
If you need courage to keep doing good, clarity about motives, or a steadier grip on hope when nothing seems to move, this conversation offers Scripture-rich guidance and practical encouragement. Press play, keep sowing to the Spirit, and trust the harvest you can’t yet see. If this resonates, subscribe, share it with a friend who’s weary, and leave a review to help others find the show.
