In this episode, we dive into Galatians 4 and explore how culture shapes us—often without us even realizing it. Pastor Chris opens with a story about a $5 betta fish and how fish, unaware of the water they swim in, mirror the way we live immersed in culture. From what we value to how we think, culture defines “normal” in subtle but powerful ways.
But Paul’s message in Galatians is clear: we are no longer slaves to the elemental things of this world—we are sons and daughters of God. Culture is not neutral; it can deceive, distract, and enslave us. Through Scripture and stories—ancient and modern—we see how God calls His people not to blend in, but to stand out: to celebrate what’s good, confront what’s broken, create what’s missing, and restore what’s been lost.
Whether you’re wrestling with what it means to live faithfully in a confusing world or simply wondering how to raise your kids, do your work, or engage with your community with purpose—this episode will challenge and encourage you to think deeply, live boldly, and root your identity not in trends, but in truth.
