Today on the Shepnaz Podcast, Pastor Zack hosts Pastor Rob Paugh as they unpack Galatians 6:7–10 and a powerful biblical truth: you reap what you sow.

This conversation dives into the spiritual law that governs our lives—what we plant through our thoughts, actions, and choices will ultimately shape our future. Pastor Rob explains how sowing to the Spirit leads to life, while sowing to the flesh leads to destruction—and why the consequences often don’t show up right away.

If you’ve ever struggled with temptation, delayed consequences, or staying consistent in your faith, this episode will challenge and encourage you to stay rooted in Christ.
