Living the Mystery with Encountering Ministries is a podcast developed to wrestle with the deeper questions of the Christian faith. These questions are too often explained in either heavy theological words, which is rarely helpful, or reduced to common cliches that don’t effectively provide insight and discovery. Many of these questions and topics are entrenched in mystery, which by definition means something that is beyond human understanding. And so that is our goal - to grow in the understanding of things that are beyond our full understanding - to grow in our knowledge of God.

    Ep 19: Living the Law of Life(Galatians 5)

    The fifth chapter of Galatians introduces us to the fruits of the Spirit, as an essential outpouring of this life in Christ. In this episode, we look at what it means to have the internal law written on our hearts, and how it affects our walk with God each and every day. We evaluate the works of the flesh that are tied to the sinful nature, versus the fruits of the Spirit that are tied to the nature of Christ in us.

    Ep 18: For Freedom’s Sake(Galatians 4)

    In the fourth chapter of Galatians, Paul outlines the practical implications of being a new creation in Christ. His focus is on what it means to truly be spiritually free. In this episode, we will look at the idea of being a servant to Christ as the truest form of freedom. Something is going to master you, the question is what or who? Our discussion will find us revisiting the mystery of Christ in us!

    Ep 17: The Family of God(Galatians 3)

    In this episode, we will look at the conclusion of Paul’s understanding of the relationship between the old and new covenants and the implications of the ultimate promises to Abraham. What exactly has Christ fulfilled? And what does it mean for our lives? Join us as we discuss the understanding of spiritual family, relational identity, and inclusion in the family of God Website: encounteringministries.com Facebook: facebook.com/EncounteringMinistries Instagram: instagram.com/encounteringministries TikTok: tiktok.com/@encounteringministries **The into & outro music is an original work created by Ryan Bradley specifically for “Living the Mystery” by Encountering Ministries and is not subject to any third-party copyright claims.  All rights reserved.**

    Ep 16: The Cut Away(Galatians 2)

    In this episode, we look at the relationship between the Old and New Covenants and evaluate what it means for our lives going forward. For Paul, circumcision, as the marker of the Old Covenant people of God, has turned into something deeper and far more profound. There is a new “cutting away” of the flesh that has lasting ramifications for this life and the next. Explore the mystery with us!

    Ep 15: The Sinner and The Savior(Galatians 1)

    As we dive into the book of Galatians, we begin to see how and why Paul understands the new covenant in Christ as the fulfillment of the old covenant and the beginning of something new. With this new direction comes challenge and confrontation. It becomes abundantly clear that many of the problems Paul faced in the early church have found new ways to surface today. Like Jesus, Paul brings faith back to a matter of the heart.

    Ep 14: Godliness With Contentment (Joy on the Narrow Path - Part 4)

    In our culture today, it seems like contentment is escaping us more and more. We live in a world where everything is updated and replaced before we even settle in with what we have. Some have chosen to detach from the world completely, while others have engrained almost entirely into it. The need for the latest and greatest has crept even into the Church. How do we walk in the tension of caring deeply about the world, but not finding our contentment from it? Tune in for this important discussion!

    Ep 13: Reconciliation (Joy on the Narrow Path - Part 3)

    How does reconciliation relate to worship? As we unpack this topic using the scriptures, it becomes evident that reconciliation is a priority in the type of life that God desires. Reconciliation has the power to bring people together and heal divisions, but as we will see it also liberates the heart and leads to joy…even as it challenges us to grow!
