8. The Prayer Set | Walking in the Spirit & Living in Freedom (Galatians 5 & 6)

THE PRAYER SET | WALKING IN THE SPIRIT & LIVING IN FREEDOM (GALATIANS 5 & 6)

Episode Summary

In this Prayer Set, Emily and Courtney pray through Galatians 5–6, inviting listeners to step out of striving and into the freedom Jesus purchased. Together, they meditate on the call to live by the Spirit, crucify the flesh, and allow the fruit of the Spirit to be formed in us through intimacy—not effort.

These chapters confront the subtle drift back into self-effort, comparison, and religious performance. Through Scripture, prayer, and communion, this episode leads you into the freedom of the cross, the purity of love expressed through faith, and the joy of walking as a new creation.

If you need a moment to lay down control, repent of self-reliance, or simply return to the simplicity of loving Jesus with a clean heart, this Prayer Set is a gentle and powerful guide.
