Closing Call to Action

These gifts aren't earned; they're given by a good Father to His sons and daughters. If you're hungry, simply ask, surrender, and receive. Share this episode with a friend or leader who needs it, and connect with us at gospelmissionnetwork.org. We'd love to walk this journey with you.

You were never meant to fight your old nature with willpower. If you've been going to church but still can't seem to change — still stuck in the same anger, the same anxiety, the same patterns you swore you'd leave behind — this episode shows you why striving was never the plan. There is a cure, and the cure isn't a technique. It's a Person.

Episode Summary

In part two of the Bible Speak series, Pastor Steve Hannett and three house church leaders open Galatians 5 to unpack the works of the flesh versus the fruit of the Spirit. They explore what it means to "walk in the Spirit," why transformation isn't produced by human effort, and why the cross — not willpower — is the entry point to lasting change. Real testimony of freedom from addiction and trauma brings it to life. Press play and discover the fruit only the Spirit can grow in you.

Topics Covered:

• Introduction & the Bible Speak series on the Holy Spirit
• What "walk in the Spirit" means (Galatians 5:16-17)
• Works of the flesh — and why they feel "normal" (Galatians 5:19-21)
• Our inherited nature from Adam and the need for new life
• Testimony: Jeff Palomaro's journey from addiction and false identity to Christ

Faith & Mission Podcast Episode 3 | Everyone is talking about freedom — but almost no one truly has it. In the wealthiest, most politically free nations on earth, depression, anxiety, and suicide are surging. No government, education system, or amount of money has solved it — because the root of every chain is spiritual, not political.

Recorded live at Times Square during America's semi-quincentennial — five Jubilees — Pastor Steve Hannett delivers one of the most urgent and grace-filled messages of the Faith & Mission Podcast. Anchored in John 8:31-36, this episode exposes why political and civil liberty alone can never satisfy the soul, and why true freedom is always internal, spiritual, and rooted in the person of Jesus Christ. Sin is the root of every form of bondage — and the Son of God alone has the legal authority to set you completely free. Wherever you are, this message is for you.

In This Episode:

• [00:00] Introduction & Welcome — Live from Times Square, NYC
• [Timestamp TBD] Why Political Freedom Isn't Enough — The Real State of the Nation
• [Timestamp TBD] What Is True Freedom? — John 8:31-36
• [Timestamp TBD] Sin as the Root of All Bondage — Romans 3:23
• [Timestamp TBD] The Cross: God's Answer to the Sin Problem — Romans 6:14
• [Timestamp TBD] Pastor Steve's Personal Testimony — Cancer Healed
• [Timestamp TBD] Salvation Call & Prayer

Key Scriptures:

• John 8:31-32 — Abiding in Jesus' Word reveals truth that sets us free
• John 8:34-36 — Sin makes us slaves; if the Son sets you free, you are free indeed
• John 14:6 — Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life — truth is a Person, not a concept
• John 8:24 — Those who don't believe in Him will die in their sins
• Romans 3:23 — All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God
• Romans 6:14 — Sin shall not have dominion over you; you are under grace, not law
• James 2:10 — Breaking even one point of the law renders a person guilty of all
• Matthew 11:28 — "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden" (NKJV)

Episode 2 | Bible Speak: Controversial Topics Of The Holy Spirit?

Hosted by: Pastor Steve Hannett

Featuring: Yari Aleman, Michael Hernandez, Pastor Carlos Reyes, and Steve Paul

EPISODE SUMMARY

Millions of believers worldwide are asking the same critical questions: Who exactly is the Holy Spirit? What does He actually do in my life? And how do I move from intellectual agreement to genuine supernatural power? The answers you find will either liberate you into the fullness of Christ's promise or leave you settling for a Christianity far smaller than God intended.

Pastor Steve and a team of diverse believers unpack three transformative truths from Scripture: the Holy Spirit is God Himself—not a force or feeling, but a Person dwelling within you; His ministry is to teach, comfort, guide, and empower believers into all truth; and His power is available to anyone who has repented and surrendered to Christ's Lordship.
