It’s great to have you with me again as we continue our time studying Paul’s letter to the Galatians. In Galatians 2:1–10, Paul takes us behind the scenes of one of the most important meetings in early church history. This is the moment when the apostles — the pillars of the church — gather in Jerusalem to answer a question that would shape the future of Christianity: Is the gospel really enough?So, let’s step into this extraordinary moment when the early church stood shoulder to shoulder and affirmed the freedom we now enjoy in Christ. Let’s begin….Support the showFollow and support me on Patreon.Jeremy McCandless | Creating Podcasts and Bible Study Resources | PatreonTo receive my weekly newsletter and keep up to date with all five of my podcasts, subscribe at:Jeremy McCandless | SubstackCheck out my other Podcasts.The Bible Project: https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.comHistory of the Christian Church: https://thehistoryofthechristianchurch.buzzsprout.comThe L.I.F.E.

Paul wasn’t whispering, was he?Today, though, the tone shifts. Not because Paul has calmed down — he hasn’t — but because he’s about to tell a story. His story. And it’s dramatic, it’s surprising, and it’s wonderfully encouraging.Because in today's passage, Paul wants us to know something vital: The gospel he preached didn’t come to him from a Rabbi or via a religious committee, or some clever theological insight; it came from God Himself. And the proof? His life was turned upside down in a way no human could have orchestrated.So today we are going to explore: How Paul received the gospel, why he didn’t need human approval to preach it, and how his past has now become a platform to demonstrate God’s grace. It also tells us why transformation matters in our story as well. And also, along the way, we’ll see that God has a remarkable habit of choosing the least likely people to carry His message.Which means if you feel unqualified, unprepared, or just a bit of a mess, then this should be wonderfully reassuring.Support the showFollow and support me on Patreon.Jeremy McCandless | Creating Podcasts and Bible Study Resources | PatreonTo receive my weekly newsletter and keep up to date with all five of my podcasts, subscribe at:Jeremy McCandless | SubstackCheck out my other Podcasts.The Bible Project: https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.comHistory of the Christian Church: https://thehistoryofthechristianchurch.buzzsprout.comThe L.I.F.E.

Send us Fan MailWelcome back, friends. Today, we step into one of the most startling moments in all of Paul’s writings. If the opening verses of Galatians introduced us to the apostle’s authority and the beauty of the gospel, then verses 6–10 teach us the reason for the urgency felt in this entire letter.“I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you…” This is not irritation. This is not impatience. This is the voice of a spiritual father watching his children wander toward danger. And in these verses, Paul will confront a reality that is as relevant today as it was in the first century: The fact that the gospel can be distorted, and believers can drift away from the truth. Galatians 1:6–10 is Paul grabbing the church by the metaphorical shoulders and shaking them and saying, “Don’t move away from the gospel.” “Don’t trade grace for performance.” And don’t let anyone  redefine what Christ has accomplished.” To receive my weekly newsletter with updates on all five of my podcasts: subscribe on Substack.Jeremy McCandless | SubstackSupport the showFollow and support me on Patreon.Jeremy McCandless | Creating Podcasts and Bible Study Resources | PatreonTo receive my weekly newsletter and keep up to date with all five of my podcasts, subscribe at:Jeremy McCandless | SubstackCheck out my other Podcasts.The Bible Project: https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.comHistory of the Christian Church: https://thehistoryofthechristianchurch.buzzsprout.comThe L.I.F.E.

Send us Fan MailHave you ever been told you must follow some sort of rule to be right with God? For some, this means observing the Sabbath, for others, it’s vegetarianism or keeping Old Testament feasts or adhering to a strict Calendar of events and Christian practices. Such beliefs are often deeply held, but their dogmatic implementation by some can be both imprisoning and confusing.If God gave the law, does ignoring them mean we’re lawless, or are we free to act as we please? To explore this, we'll study Galatians—a book dealing directly with whether rule-keeping is necessary for salvation….Support the showFollow and support me on Patreon.Jeremy McCandless | Creating Podcasts and Bible Study Resources | PatreonTo receive my weekly newsletter and keep up to date with all five of my podcasts, subscribe at:Jeremy McCandless | SubstackCheck out my other Podcasts.The Bible Project: https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.comHistory of the Christian Church: https://thehistoryofthechristianchurch.buzzsprout.comThe L.I.F.E.

Send us Fan MailHang on at the end for my answer to a Listener's Question....Paul's letter to the Galatians has often been called “the Magna Carta of spiritual emancipation.” For many believers, it reads like a charter of Christian freedom. In just a few short chapters, Paul delivers one of the most condensed, passionate, and powerful arguments ever written about the freedom believers have received in Christ. Support the showFollow and support me on Patreon.Jeremy McCandless | Creating Podcasts and Bible Study Resources | PatreonTo receive my weekly newsletter and keep up to date with all five of my podcasts, subscribe at:Jeremy McCandless | SubstackCheck out my other Podcasts.The Bible Project: https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.comHistory of the Christian Church: https://thehistoryofthechristianchurch.buzzsprout.comThe L.I.F.E.

Send us Fan MailThis is the fourth of five bonus episodes I shall be releasing this week. This is the latest episode of My 'History of the Christian Church' Podcast.When Gregory the Great became bishop of Rome at the end of the sixth century, the Western world was pretty much in ruins and standing on the edge of an era that would become known as the Dark Ages. The Roman Empire in the West had collapsed. Cities were crumbling. Plagues swept through the population. Invasions came not in isolation, but in waves. Civil authority was weak, unreliable, and sometimes absent altogether. And into that chaos stepped Gregory. He never sought power. Gregory preferred the quiet life of a monk to the burden of public leadership. Yet history would remember him as one of the most influential figures of the early medieval Church—the man who more than any other bridged the ancient world and the medieval West.To subscribe and listen to the entire series for free.

Send us Fan MailThis is the third of five bonus episodes I shall be releasing this week. This is the third episode in my brand new podcast launched on 1st of January 2026. "The Classic Literature Podcast'.Oliver Twist is not just a novel—it’s a cry. A cry against cruelty, against hypocrisy, against a society that punishes the vulnerable and rewards the corrupt. But it’s also a cry of hope. Because even in the darkest alley, Dickens insists that light can break through. That grace can find the lost. In this episode, we’ll explore how Oliver Twist and we’ll meet characters who embody both sin and salvation. We’ll trace the spiritual arc of a boy who begins with nothing but a name—and ends with a family, a future, and the hope of redemption.Support the showFollow and support me on Patreon.Jeremy McCandless | Creating Podcasts and Bible Study Resources | PatreonTo receive my weekly newsletter and keep up to date with all five of my podcasts, subscribe at:Jeremy McCandless | SubstackCheck out my other Podcasts.The Bible Project: https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.comHistory of the Christian Church: https://thehistoryofthechristianchurch.buzzsprout.comThe L.I.F.E.
