& There They Both Will Sing // THE BETTER SONG 27:24

1+ y ago27:24

27:24

At the heart of the "song of all songs", and in the center of the Gospel of the Kingdom, is the city of Jerusalem. Your destiny is woven in with her destiny—but everything hinges on the day she sings again "as in the days of her youth," the very day when God Himself will rejoice with singing over her. In the meantime, this "song" protects your hear…

God & the Better Wine // THE BETTER SONG 34:37

1+ y ago34:37

34:37

Perhaps the crux of the story, and certainly a critical feature of the Song of Solomon, is learning to believe what God says about you—to quit arguing with Him about it. If we can receive the better word that washes us, we'll live more like we're meant to. Listen to "God & the Better Wine," Episode 5 of THE BETTER SONG with Jeff & Steph now.…

33:52

Perhaps the most audacious lyric in BALLADS OF THE SONG OF SOLOMON, "Jesus, we are gonna dance or fight tonight" raised more than a few eyebrows.

The Abject Fatigue of Good Fruit (Gal. 6:6-10) // THE BETTER FREEDOM 26:33

2+ y ago26:33

26:33

We finish riding Paul's train of thought in this passage and reflect upon the fatigue of doing good works, and bearing good fruit—why it is tiresome, and why we should keep going anyway. Join Jeff and Steph for this week's conversation in Galatians, for one of the final episodes of THE BETTER FREEDOM. Listen to "The Abject Fatigue of Good Fruit (Ga…

You Cannot Reap What You Do Not Sow (Gal. 6:6-10) // THE BETTER FREEDOM 29:54

2+ y ago29:54

29:54

As we near the end of Paul's letter to the churches of Galatia, this week's text includes 6:6-10. Jeff and Steph discuss the individual and corporate imperative to live with generosity, and the broader principle of reaping what you sow—and the inability to reap what you haven't sown then demonstrating God's invincibility. "He cannot be mocked." But…

Check Yourself Before You Wreck Yourself (Gal. 6:3-5) // THE BETTER FREEDOM 26:06

2+ y ago26:06

26:06

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 w…

The Beauty of Burden-Bearing (Gal. 6:1-2) // THE BETTER FREEDOM 28:25

2+ y ago28:25

28:25

"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 Gentle Hand of Restoration (Gal. 6:1--3) // THE BETTER FREEDOM 32:04

2+ y ago32:04

32:04

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 thes…

Fruit & Steph's Crippling Fear of Heights (Gal. 5:22-26) // THE BETTER FREEDOM 39:01

2+ y ago39:01

39:01

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…

The Wide Road Way of the Flesh (Gal. 5:19-21) // THE BETTER FREEDOM 34:14

2+ y ago34:14

34:14

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…

2+ y ago35:45

35:45

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.By Jeff Henderson, Stephanie Quick

Brothers & Neighbors (Gal. 5:13-15) // THE BETTER FREEDOM 40:01

2+ y ago40:01

40:01

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…

Lest We Bite & Devour (Gal. 5:13-15) // THE BETTER FREEDOM 34:25

"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 liv…

Crash & Burns Off the Narrow Road (Gal. 7-12) // THE BETTER FREEDOM 34:07

2+ y ago34:07

34:07

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 …

To Not Go the Way of Cain (Gal. 5:4-6) // THE BETTER FREEDOM 36:08

2+ y ago36:08

36:08

This week's passage is a collision and contrast between the path of self-righteous severing, its real-time implications on your relationship with Jesus, true fellowship with Him, and the faith-wrought work of the Spirit to save you from your own conniving ego. Jeff and Steph discuss Galatians 5:4-6 in this week's edition of THE BETTER FREEDOM. List…

Justification & Jesus (Gal. 5:4) // THE BETTER FREEDOM 33:09

2+ y ago33:09

33:09

"You have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace." What does it mean to "fall from grace," or be estranged from Jesus? It is no accident these issues bookend justification within this one verse. Join Jeff & Steph as we mine out the issue of justification, how Jesus approaches it, and what it…

The Entire Enchilada (Gal. 5:3) // THE BETTER FREEDOM 24:21

2+ y ago24:21

24:21

THE BETTER BEAUTIFUL returns from our little hiatus with a Jeff & Jeff episode sitting in Galatians 5:3, which reads: "And I testify again to every man who becomes circumcised that he is a debtor to keep the whole law." The whole law. Some might even say, "the whole enchilada." Jeff unpacks the implications and consequences of this in this week's e…

The Confidence of a Kid with a Smiling Dad (Gal. 5:2) // THE BETTER FREEDOM 34:12

2+ y ago34:12

34:12

Last week, we asked, "What is freedom?" This week, as we park in Galatians 5:2, it distills down to this simplicity: The freedom Jesus set you free for is the confidence of a kid who can feel their Dad smiling upon them. Meditate on this with Jeff and Steph in this week's episode of THE BETTER FREEDOM, available now here in the FAI App.…

For Sake of Free Freedom (Gal. 5:1) // THE BETTER FREEDOM 34:54

2+ y ago34:54

34:54

THE BETTER BEAUTIFUL // If the book of Galatians could be summarized in one verse, it is chapter five verse one: "It is for freedom's sake Christ has set you free—therefore do not be entangled again in a yoke of bondage." In this week's episode of THE BETTER FREEDOM, Jeff and Steph discuss the implications of this explosive verse which we hold so d…

Castaways & Brotherhood (Gal. 4:28-31) // THE BETTER FREEDOM 33:58

2+ y ago33:58

33:58

In Episode 32 of THE BETTER FREEDOM, we come to the end of chapter four in Paul's letter to the churches of Galatia: "Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are children of promise. But, as he who was born according to the flesh then persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, even so it is now. Nevertheless what does the Scripture say? 'Cast out…

Law, Legality, & Liberty (Gal. 4:24-27) // THE BETTER FREEDOM 34:01

3y ago34:01

34:01

Somehow, God deals with our unrighteousness in a way that makes Him "both just and the Justifier" of all who have faith in Him; of all who "trust" in Him. Paul had exceptional clarity to communicate the nuts and bolts of this profound message, and it is apparent throughout his letters in addition to the points he makes at the end of this Galatian c…

Isaacs, Ishmaels, & Rabbit Trails (Gal. 4:22-23) // THE BETTER FREEDOM 37:20

37:20

"For it is written that Abraham had two sons: the one by a bondwoman, the other by a freewoman. But he who was of the bondwoman was born according to the flesh, and he of the freewoman through promise...." These are two simple verses, in theory. But we got lost in them—good and deep. Join Jeff & Steph for the latest conversation in THE BETTER FREED…

So, Tell Me.... (Gal. 4:21) // THE BETTER FREEDOM 34:17

3y ago34:17

34:17

The One Wherein Jeff & Steph Park in a Singular Seventeen-Word Verse For a Whole Episode "Tell me, you who desire the law, do you not listen to the law?" Galatians puts the collision between our desires, identities, and owners (yes, what/who owns you) under a microscope, and even this short little verse sifts the human heart and exposes intentions …

Fatherhood & Full Formation (Gal. 4:17-20) // THE BETTER BEAUTIFUL 40:56

3y ago40:56

40:56

As a father in the faith, Paul was concerned for the Galatians. He was jealous for the Galatians. He was burdened for the Galatians. Yet he was, in his own words, "perplexed" by the Galatians. What can we learn and glean from this man who developed out of his own immaturity to give his life to shepherding others out of theirs? Listen to "Fatherhood…

Humility, Humanity, and a Heartfelt Plea (Gal. 4:10-16) // THE BETTER FREEDOM 35:09

3y ago35:09

35:09

Paul's tone begins to pivot in Galatians 4:10-16, and we hear him in humility, in his humanity, as he makes a heartfelt plea to the believers in Galatia. Jeff & Steph discuss these verses in this week's episode of THE BETTER FREEDOM, our (long) season exclusively devoted to Paul's letter to the churches of Galatia. Listen now in the FAI App.…

When Paul & Jeff Take No Prisoners (Gal. 4:8-9) // THE BETTER FREEDOM 30:20

3y ago30:20

30:20

An abiding law of the universe is this: You are a slave to that which you obey, and you obey that which you desire. This is why loving Jesus is synonymous with obedience (John 15), and why Paul so often refers to himself as a bondservant. But say you break beyond the fence line of obedience; you are not then "free" from the constraints of His comma…

The Generosity of Jesus (Gal. 4:5-7) // THE BETTER FREEDOM 41:23

3y ago41:23

41:23

When the fullness of time had come, God sent forth His Son "to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons—and because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, 'Abba, Father!' Therefore you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son, then an heir of God through Chris…

Why Karma is a Load of Crock (Gal. 4:1-4) // THE BETTER FREEDOM 42:08

3y ago42:08

42:08

Now firmly in the second half of the year, we are also finally getting into the second half of Galatians: sonship, slavery, and the sovereignty of God displayed in the revelation of the Son in the "fullness of time"—in your life, Paul's life, and in the nations. For Stephanie, a marked moment of "fullness" in her life involved Cutco knives and the …

Unity, Diversity, and Distinction (Gal. 3:28-29) // THE BETTER FREEDOM 32:07

All-In Under the Waters of Baptism (Gal. 3:27) // THE BETTER FREEDOM 33:55

3y ago33:55

33:55

Or, "The One Where Jeff Became a Grandpa." In Episode 22 of THE BETTER FREEDOM, we meditate on Galatians 3:27: "For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ." In this regard, there is no other way but to be fully immersed—but what happens if we, like the Crusaders of old, withhold something above the water line? What in your l…

Abiding on the Path of Promise // THE BETTER FREEDOM 37:13

3y ago37:13

37:13

We're in the meat of Galatians 3, with substantial themes to chew on: law, faith, grace, promise, slavery, sonship, and the means of reckoning against the righteousness of God. It's not for the faint of heart—but it'll lead you to the One who is "meek and lowly" inviting you to abide in Him all your days. Grab a coffee and your Bible, and maybe boo…

Believing His Promise // THE BETTER FREEDOM 38:10

"What is covenant?" For as heady and meaty as the issues in this passage can be, ultimately the faith comes down to a very simple issue: children believing the promise of their trustworthy Father. Join Jeff & Steph for episode 20 of THE BETTER FREEDOM, which also happens to be the 100th episode of THE BETTER BEAUTIFUL. Thank you for spending the la…

God Became a Curse 'For Us' // THE BETTER FREEDOM 39:17

3y ago39:17

39:17

The most offensive elements of the Good News are the best ones. The most precious truths are the ones we most resist, most despise. Galatians 3:14 is among these; join Jeff and Steph for a meditation on the Cross as we wade into the doctrinal depths of Paul's letter to the Galatian churches.By Jeff Henderson, Stephanie Quick

Finishing with First Love // DANA CANDLER PT. 2 51:02

3y ago51:02

51:02

Our second of two conversations with Dana Candler (IHOPKC) gets real about what to do when you don't love Jesus like you used to. If you cross the finish line without love, did you really run the race to begin with? What do you do when you test the worth of Jesus, and the worth of Jesus turns around and tests you back?
