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.
