Today on the Shepnaz Podcast, Pastor Zack is joined by Pastor Rob Paugh as they unpack Galatians chapter 2 and the meetings that forever shaped the Christian faith.

What happens when church leaders must decide whether Jesus is truly enough? In this episode, we explore the Jerusalem Council (Acts 15) and how Paul, Peter, James, John, Barnabas, and Titus clarified the gospel: salvation comes by grace through faith in Jesus alone—not by religious rituals or works.This conversation explains why believers today don’t need to “earn” God’s love, while also addressing the common misunderstanding that grace is a license to live however we want.

👉 Key topics include:

• Why Galatians 2 is so critical for modern Christians
• The difference between ceremonial law and moral law
• How unity in the early church protected the gospel
• Why adding anything to Jesus undermines grace
