### Episode Summary: Confrontation and Growth in Galatians 2:11-21
In this episode of *The Process of Recovery*, hosts John and Christine delve into Galatians 2:11-21, where Paul confronts Peter about his actions toward Gentile believers. They discuss the context of early church tensions and the implications of Peter's behavior, particularly how it could cause others to stumble in their faith.
The hosts reference several key scriptures that enrich the discussion:
- **Acts 10:26-28**: Highlights Peter's understanding of God's acceptance of Gentiles. - **Romans 14:13-23**: Discusses the importance of not causing others to stumble over personal convictions. - **Ephesians 2:3**: Reminds listeners of our shared human condition and need for grace. - **1 John 3:8**: Emphasizes the purpose of Christ’s coming to destroy the works of the devil. - **Romans 6:11 and 6:6**: Focus on our identity in Christ and the transformative power of the Gospel. - **Hebrews 7:11**: Reflects on the priesthood of Christ and the new covenant. - **2 Timothy 1:7**: Encourages believers not to be timid but to embrace the spirit of power, love, and self-discipline.
Additionally, they draw on insights from *A Crucified Life* by A.W. Tozer, discussing the necessity of self-denial and the call to live a life fully surrendered to Christ. Tozer’s reflections on the deeper spiritual life underscore the themes of accountability and integrity within the community.
John and Christine encourage listeners to reflect on their own experiences with conflict, the ripple effects of actions, and the importance of integrity in leadership. The episode wraps up with a recap of key points and a teaser for the next topic, promoting open dialogue and understanding within faith communities.
Join them as they unpack these significant verses and their relevance to today’s challenges in faith and community!
