Babushka Training | A Comedic Bible Devotional on Galatians 6:2

Galatians 6:2 tells believers to bear one another’s burdens, reminding the church that following Jesus often means carrying weight that is not our own. In this comedic Bible devotional, we explore what spiritual strength looks like when someone else needs help climbing the stairs.

For some of us, that burden is spiritual. For others, it is more literal. Think carrying Babushka and a sheep bladder through a subzero stairwell.

You do not get spiritual muscle by watching others climb. You build it by hauling someone else’s burdens up the stairs, even when they keep shouting, “Faster. Jesus carried the cross. You carry me.”

Carrying others does not make you weak. It makes you strong enough to keep going when no one carries you. And one day, when you are the Babushka, you will be thankful someone else trained for it.

Questions for the Week and Strong:

1. Are you building character or just upper body frustration?

2. Are you bearing one another’s burdens or quietly hoping theirs gets lighter soon?

3. Are you strengthening your faith or your ability to complain creatively?

This Week in Prayer and Soviet Strength:

Jesus, I said yes before I knew how many stairs were involved. Please give me strength, patience, and a lower center of gravity. Amen.
