As we wander through Lent, let's unravel the deep roots of our faith and the ways they intertwine with the Fruits of the Spirit. This season offers more than just a time for reflection; it's an opportunity to enrich our souls with virtues like love, joy, and peace. I share a childhood melody that traces these qualities back to Galatians, where we're called to embrace a life aligned with spiritual, not physical, desires. We will navigate how these virtues foster community love and embody the essence of a faith-driven existence.

Imagine a life where discipline and joy coexist harmoniously. That's the journey we embark on as we consider Jesus's role beyond being a profound thought leader. The Fruits of the Spirit are more than just lofty ideals; they're attainable qualities that, with Jesus's guidance, can mold our very nature. We'll unravel what true freedom in Christ means, moving past societal definitions to discover the liberty of making life-affirming choices. Personal stories of struggle and triumph will illuminate this path, showcasing the genuine happiness that blooms from righteous decisions.

The melodies of "Father Abraham" and "Kumbaya" might evoke a smile or a nostalgic tear, but they carry a profound significance that resonates through our spiritual journey. We reminisce about these childhood hymns, reflecting on how they've woven a thread of community and belief that sustains us to this day. Faith isn't just about what we say; it's reflected in our actions and our approach to life. As a former school teacher and pastor, I've seen firsthand the transformative power of living a Christ-centered life and the impact it has on those we touch, from students to parents. Join us as we celebrate the rich tapestry of faith that these songs and our shared experiences have created.
