As humans, it can be difficult to choose the route of obedience, especially when it tests our own comfort or desire. In this episode, Tabitha Caplinger chats with Lauren Earls and Ricky & Nikki Farney about the importance of self-control and how this fruit partners with the others we've been learning about through the series! They each share great insight into how the Holy Spirit helps lead & guide us to what is best for us, even when it's difficult to follow. But, when we trust God, we'll experience the goodness He has promised us! 

Ricky & Nikki help lead Celebrate Recovery, a group that helps anyone dealing with hurts, habits, or hangups. To learn more about Celebrate Recovery at Faith Community, visit FaithCommunity.co/groups.
