In Week 2 of "Distracted", Intern Zach Milner emphasizes the critical difference between a "counterfeit gospel" and the true gospel, which offers an abundant life through Jesus Christ. He explains that while many people try to earn God's love and salvation through good deeds or religious practices, this leads to an empty, counterfeit life. This mirrors the early church in Galatia, who, despite initially understanding the true gospel, began to drift back into trying to earn God's favor through adherence to the law. Milner highlights that Jesus' sacrifice was not merely to make "bad people good," but to transform "dead people alive" by adopting them as sons and daughters, granting them a secure and unearned relationship with God.

Zach stresses that this adoption is final and unchangeable, meaning believers are no longer slaves to sin, guilt, or insecurity. Instead, they are heirs to God's promises, loved unconditionally regardless of their imperfections. He challenges listeners to examine if they are living like "spiritual orphans" trying to earn what has already been freely given, urging them to embrace the freedom and joy that comes from understanding their true identity as beloved children of God. The ultimate message is to receive God's grace and love rather than striving for it, leading to a life of relationship and intimacy with the Father.
