Today’s Bible Verse: "Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ." - Galatians 1:10

Galatians 1:10 gets straight to the heart of motivation. Paul challenges the tension between seeking approval from people and living to please God. It’s a question that cuts deep—because it exposes how easily our decisions, words, and identity can be shaped by the opinions of others.

Unworthy but Welcome: God's Grace at the Lord's Table (1 Corinthians 11:27)

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/5e27a451-e6e6-4c51-aa03-a7370003783c/clips/611c41f4-6883-4f44-b0bc-b42b002e2697/transcript

If you have ever felt trapped by your body, your limits or a season you didn’t choose, this
conversation will meet you where you are. In this bonus episode from The Unbound Podcast, Dr. Tony Evans sits down with Dr. Dan Wallace, one of the world’s leading Greek scholars and a lifelong student of the New Testament.

Dan is best known for his work in textual criticism and for founding the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts, which has helped digitize thousands of ancient biblical manuscripts
around the world. But this conversation centers on a chapter of his life that few people know.


After contracting encephalitis, Dan lost much of his strength, mobility and even his grasp of
Greek, the language he had devoted his life to studying and teaching. He shares what it was
like to relearn Greek from scratch, using the very textbook he had written himself, while
navigating years of uncertainty, pain and physical limitations.


This is not a technical discussion and not a polished testimony. It is an honest conversation
about chronic illness, suffering without clear answers and what faith looks like when progress is
slow and control is gone. Together, they talk about what Scripture actually teaches about
suffering, how endurance is formed over time and why God’s presence often shows up through
people rather than quick solutions.


If you are carrying pain, fatigue or unanswered questions, this episode offers clarity without
clichés and hope without pretending everything is fine.

The Unbound Podcast is a weekly conversation with Dr. Tony Evans about what it means to live
free of what binds us, including fear, pressure, shame and the need to perform strength. New
episodes release weekly.
