In this episode of Subtext, we dive deep into our new 8-week message series called "Bear Fruit." We explore the powerful truth that we can't produce spiritual fruit through self-improvement or our own strength. Instead, we unpack how the Holy Spirit—God's empowering presence within us—is the true source of transformation.

We break down the difference between seeing Christianity as just another self-help program versus understanding the genuine partnership we have with the Holy Spirit. You'll discover why Jesus said He was leaving us with something even better than His physical presence, and how that changes everything.

From breakthrough growth to seasonal development, we examine what it means to abide in Christ and create space for the Spirit to work. The truth is, you're only responsible for 20% of the fruit-bearing process—preparing your soul, staying connected to community, and practicing spiritual disciplines. The Spirit handles the other 80%!

Join us as we tackle the "fruit gap" in our lives and challenge the exhausting cycle of trying to level up on our own. This is more than just becoming a better person—it's about letting God produce His fruit through you.
