Ever watched a strong team drift off course without anyone noticing until it’s miles from shore? We dig into Galatians as a live case study in mission fidelity, showing how small compromises can compound into culture change and how leaders can steer back with clarity, courage, and grace. With Tim Lansford, Dr. Dean Posey, and guest Elisa, the conversation blends biblical insight with practical leadership moves you can use this week.

We start by reframing Galatians: shorter does not mean softer. Paul confronts a creeping belief that belonging requires rule-keeping, and we connect that to modern organizations that smuggle in extra “requirements” to earn trust. Faith as gift, not performance, becomes a leadership principle: build systems that serve the mission without choking people. From there, we examine accountability through Paul’s challenge to Peter—consistency across rooms is credibility. You’ll hear how to set rhythms that align teams, create space for honest feedback, and avoid the slow erosion of values.

Then we turn the Fruit of the Spirit into a culture dashboard: love in hard conversations, joy that lifts teams, peace under pressure, patience in development, kindness in critique, goodness in decisions, faithfulness to commitments, gentleness with power, and self-control when stakes are high. These traits aren’t for private polish; like fruit on a tree, they’re meant to feed others. Finally, we talk sustainable leadership: not growing weary, counting consequences before choices, and embracing grace as the engine of long-term impact. Expect candid stories, a few dad jokes, and clear takeaways you can put into practice.

If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who leads, and leave a quick review to help more people find these conversations. What “fruit” does your team need most right now? Tell us and join the dialogue.
