We trace Paul’s story from zealot to apostle and set the scene for Galatians 1. The core warning lands hard: salvation is by grace through faith, not “Jesus plus” our works, and real freedom only comes from the finished work of Christ. • Paul’s background as Saul and his Damascus road conversion • Why Paul’s authority comes from Jesus, not human approval • The planting of the Galatian churches and early growth • The rise of the Judaizers and the false gospel of “Jesus plus” • Grace alone versus works-based righteousness • Signs you may be drifting into legalism • An invitation to study Galatians for deeper freedom Before you go, if you want to help equip other men for the fight, share this podcast around and leave us a five star rating and review Support the show Want to connect?
