Rest in Jesus, Not Your Résumé | The Well Podcast S9E10
Are you caught in the performance trap—measuring your worth by what you do or achieve? In this episode of The Well Podcast, Pastor Chad Glover and host Les Norman unpack freedom in Christ, exploring why so many of us feel pressured to earn acceptance, both from others and from God. The conversation invites you to break free from the cycle of striving and embrace the gift of grace. Using the biblical story of Isaac and Ishmael, they contrast life by the law and life by grace. Listeners are encouraged to truly rest in Jesus rather than falling into religious rule-keeping. If you want to move from striving to abiding, join us for practical encouragement to enjoy the freedom Jesus offers, embrace rhythms of rest, and let go of the pressure to perform. 📌 Supplemental Resources: This Week’s Sermon: https://www.youtube.com/live/TwoA1Y-xR-0?si=LXI-FeK3NHG0QQUj Galatians Sermon Series: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLR50sV854C2hERqKwKXCfBdI-88g3mxoS&si=A6yNEW2_0vBrFfA5 Connect with us on Social Media ↴ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/abundantlifels/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/abundantlifels Learn more about the A-Life Discipleship Journey: https://alife.livingproof.co/ More information on our sermons: https://abundant-life.com/resources/sermons/ Do you want to see your life changed by Jesus?

Galatians, Circumcision, and the Formation of the Biblical Canon | The Well Podcast S9E09
How did the early church decide which books belong in the Bible? Why was circumcision such a dividing issue for the Galatians? In this episode of The Well Podcast, Pastor Phil Hopper tackles these two big questions and others about the early church. Pastor Phil Hopper unpacks the cultural and doctrinal tensions of the early church, showing how Old Testament signs pointed to New Testament realities—especially the “circumcision of the heart.” He also walks through how the biblical canon was formed, what standards were used to recognize Scripture, and why some writings were excluded or labeled apocryphal. Whether you’re new to the Bible or have followed Jesus for years, this conversation will clarify confusing debates, deepen your confidence in Scripture, and strengthen your walk with God. 📌 Supplemental Resources: This Week’s Sermon: https://www.youtube.com/live/y4Md1wD2cRo?si=9_wg7G0WGCfriwI3 Galatians Sermon Series: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLR50sV854C2hERqKwKXCfBdI-88g3mxoS&si=A6yNEW2_0vBrFfA5 Connect with us on Social Media ↴ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/abundantlifels/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/abundantlifels Connect with Pastor Phil ↴ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PhilHopperKC Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/philhopper_kc Books & Resources: abundant-life.com/resources Learn more about the A-Life Discipleship Journey: https://alife.livingproof.co/ More information on our sermons: https://abundant-life.com/resources/sermons/ Do you want to see your life changed by Jesus?

Navigating Faith Deconstruction and Doubt with Biblical Wisdom | The Well Podcast S9E04
When your faith feels like it’s cracking, what do you do with your questions? In this episode of The Well Podcast, Pastors Chad Glover and Jonathan Clark talk honestly about faith deconstruction, Christian doubt, spiritual questions, and church hurt. They explore why so many young adults are walking away from church, how events like 9/11 and COVID-19 have intensified faith crises, and why simply suppressing doubt doesn’t work. They invite you to bring your hardest questions to God and His word. Drawing from Galatians, they explain how we sometimes need to “lose faith” in legalism and deconstruct what is false so we can rebuild a real, experiential faith in Christ. You’ll hear practical tools for processing doubt in community and developing a more honest walk with Jesus. 📌 Episode Mentions: Scripture: Mark 9:23-25 From Bondage to Abundance Sermon Series: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLR50sV854C2jJ7VKI1R8An6tTJdSlYQyF&si=h3whLV18V0bT3ZDM The Reason for God by Tim Keller: https://timothykeller.com/books/the-reason-for-god How Does Jesus Respond to Someone Who Is Deconstructing Sermon: https://www.youtube.com/live/GVsRp-7zM6Q?si=xLMmZtkzxBi36qKg 📌 Supplemental Resources: This Week’s Sermon: https://www.youtube.com/live/cukkkBNarC0?si=7TLlJbY7Q_rRpwAy Galatians Sermon Series: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLR50sV854C2hERqKwKXCfBdI-88g3mxoS&si=A6yNEW2_0vBrFfA5 Connect with us on Social Media ↴ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/abundantlifels/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/abundantlifels Connect with Pastor Phil ↴ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PhilHopperKC Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/philhopper_kc Books & Resources: abundant-life.com/resources Learn more about the A-Life Discipleship Journey: https://alife.livingproof.co/ More information on our sermons: https://abundant-life.com/resources/sermons/ Do you want to see your life changed by Jesus?

Is Your Faith Religious or Real? | The Well Podcast S9E03
Religion complicates what God made simple. In this episode of The Well Podcast, Pastor Phil Hopper and Les Norman walk through Galatians to show why God hates religion but loves redemption. They unpack how legalism and modern-day Judaizers add rules, rituals, and lists to the work of Christ, pulling believers back under a yoke of bondage. You’ll hear how to spot religious hypocrisy, why so many are deconstructing religion rather than Christianity, and how to take honest spiritual inventory in your own life. Pastor Phil also answers listener questions on just war, Matthew 26:32, and whether today’s tensions with Iran and Israel carry end-times significance. If you’re weary of religion but hungry for biblical truth and real freedom in Christ, this conversation is for you. 📌 Episode Mentions: Scripture: Acts 15; Galatians 2:20, 5:1; 2 Thessalonians 2 Regen Recovery Ministry: https://abundant-life.com/recovery/ 📌 Supplemental Resources: This Week’s Sermon: https://www.youtube.com/live/QZfrdbfaKWw?si=coYyZEdhTBV1wyNv&t=1698 Galatians Sermon Series: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLR50sV854C2hERqKwKXCfBdI-88g3mxoS&si=qfBS5wmqeN-qClWV Connect with us on Social Media ↴ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/abundantlifels/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/abundantlifels Connect with Pastor Phil ↴ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PhilHopperKC Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/philhopper_kc Books & Resources: abundant-life.com/resources Learn more about the A-Life Discipleship Journey: https://alife.livingproof.co/ More information on our sermons: https://abundant-life.com/resources/sermons/ Do you want to see your life changed by Jesus?
