Today we’re continuing our Fruit of the Spirit series with faithfulness. We’ll look at three important parts of being faithful: honesty, dependability, and loyalty. Most importantly, we’ll look to God as our perfect example of faithfulness and be reminded of the promises He has made to us. So where do we stand, and what areas of faithfulness might God be calling us to grow in?

Welcome back to Mac and Cheese and What Else? Today we’re wrapping up Matthew 7 and the Sermon on the Mount! Jesus gives us a powerful picture of two houses—one built on rock and one built on sand. Storms will come, but what matters is the foundation we have built our lives upon. Join me as we talk about what it means to make Jesus our rock and why following His teachings gives us a firm foundation when life gets difficult.

Today we’re diving into a challenging and important section of Matthew 7 as Jesus talks about the narrow gate, false prophets, and the warning that not everyone who calls Him “Lord” truly knows Him. We’ll look at what it means to follow Jesus, recognize good fruit, and most importantly, examine our own hearts. Are we simply walking the walk on the outside, or do we truly know and trust our Savior?

Today we’re continuing our Fruit of the Spirit series by looking at kindness and goodness. What’s the difference between the two, and how can we actively grow these fruits in our everyday lives? We’ll talk about keeping our eyes on Christ, remembering the incredible kindness He showed us at the cross, and learning to lay our selfishness down to serve those around us. Let’s challenge ourselves to look for opportunities to do good and bring glory to God!

Today we’re talking about prayer again as we dive into Matthew 7:7-12. Jesus reminds us to ask, seek, and knock while trusting our Heavenly Father to give us what is truly good. We’ll talk about what it means to pray with a trusting heart, seek God through His Word, and remain persistent when the answer doesn’t come right away. We’ll also look at the Golden Rule and what it means to live it out from the foot of the cross.

Today we’re slowing down and diving deeper into Matthew 7:1-6, where Jesus teaches us about judgment, discernment, and the famous “speck and plank” passage. What does “do not judge” actually mean? How do we lovingly address sin without condemning others? And what does Jesus mean when He talks about dogs and pearls? Join me as we look at what these verses mean for how we treat others—and how we first need to examine our own hearts.

This Friday, we’re diving into the Fruit of the Spirit—Patience! 💛 We’ll talk about what it means to have patience with people, patience through suffering, and patience with God’s timing. Patience isn’t always easy, but God uses those difficult moments to shape us and help us look more like Him. Let’s slow down, trust His timing, and grow together!

Anxiety can have a grip on all of us, but Jesus reminds us that God has got us. ❤️ In today’s episode, we finish Matthew 6 by diving into Matthew 6:25-34 and talking about worry, God’s providence, prayer, and learning to trust Him with the things we can’t control. When we fix our eyes on Jesus, we can remember that the cross is greater than our fear, stress, and anxiety.

What has your heart? ❤️ In today’s episode of Mac and Cheese and What Else?, we dive into Matthew 6:16-24 and talk about fasting, earthly treasures, and what it means to truly make Jesus our greatest treasure. Where we place our focus reveals where our heart is. Let’s take a moment to check our hearts and ask: Who is truly our master?

We’re diving into the Fruit of the Spirit—PEACE! 🕊️ We’ll talk about what biblical peace looks like and how we can have peace with God, with others, and within ourselves. Life can easily steal our peace, but God calls us to lean into Him and let His peace rule in our hearts. Join me as we explore how peace and joy go hand in hand and what it means to live as a peacemaker.
