Welcome back to The Morality Lens Podcast! In this episode, we continue our “Fruits of the Spirit” series and explore what might be the most challenging and misunderstood fruit — self-control.

We’ll look at what true self-control is and why it’s so vital for every believer, how it connects to surrender and walking in the Holy Spirit, and what happens when we lack it. We’ll also talk about practical steps to strengthen self-control through prayer, Scripture, and community — and the spiritual rewards that follow when we live disciplined, Spirit-led lives.

This conversation isn’t about perfection — it’s about progress. God doesn’t expect performance; He desires surrender and growth. When we invite Him into our daily battles, He provides the strength to overcome temptation, anger, greed, and worldly desires — and leads us closer to His peace and purpose.
