What if the very things you do to find comfort are actually keeping you from the freedom Jesus promised?
This week on Off Script, Conor Hall joins Neil to wrap up the book of Galatians and look at what it practically means to live out Gospel freedom. They address the common struggle of entitlement, how feeling "deserving" of rest can quietly breed spiritual laziness and lead us to abandon daily disciplines. The conversation highlights the vital difference between the enemy's condemnation and the Holy Spirit's conviction, emphasizing that we destroy Satan's leverage over our lives the moment we stop hiding our messes and choose to carry each other's burdens in community.
