Galatians 6: Gentle Restoration, Personal Theology, and the Gospel of More

In this final episode of the Galatians series, Michael Thompson and SJ Jennings explore Paul's closing words in chapter 6—an invitation to live with gentleness, forgiveness, and mutual care. As they reflect on the early church's challenges, Michael and SJ draw parallels to today's world: pandemics, polarization, and the constant pull toward disunity.

At the heart of the conversation is the reminder that we were never meant to walk alone. Whether it's gently restoring a brother or bearing one another's burdens, Paul's charge is clear—live the gospel together. The hosts share personal stories of confrontation, accountability, and how grace multiplies when it's sown in kindness rather than control.

They also dive into the principle of sowing and reaping, using vivid metaphors (like boomerangs) to illustrate how our actions—good or harmful—have lasting impact. Listeners are invited to examine their "personal theology" and notice where they may be relying on a "Christ plus" mindset, instead of resting in Christ alone.

With reflection, prayer, and gratitude, this episode closes the Galatians journey by pointing back to the bigger truth: there is always more freedom, more love, and more grace available in the life God invites us into.
