Will God give us more than we can handle? What does biblical self-control actually look like in everyday life?

In this Christ-centered Bible study for women, we continue our journey through the Fruit of the Spirit by focusing on self-control — the powerful evidence of walking by the Spirit found in Galatians 5:22–23.

In a world that feels like it’s spiraling out of control, Christian women are called to something radically different — Spirit-led discipline, intentional obedience, and victory over the flesh.

If you’re a busy Christian woman longing to:

• Conquer fleshly desires

• Overcome sin patterns

• Build a Biblical game plan for obedience

• Grow in spiritual maturity

• Respond to temptation with confidence

This episode will equip you with practical application rooted in Scripture.

We explore powerful truths from:

• Romans 8:13

• 1 Corinthians 10:13

You’ll learn:

• Why we lack self-control

• Whether God gives us more than we can handle

• How temptation is a spiritual battle

• How the Holy Spirit guides us in tempting moments

• How to build a Biblical game plan for self-control

Self-control isn’t about willpower — it’s about surrender.

What does Biblical gentleness really look like in everyday life?

In this Fruit of the Spirit Bible study for women, we continue our Christ-centered journey by exploring the powerful yet often misunderstood fruit of gentleness.

In a world filled with pressure, distractions, bitterness, and constant demands, Christian women are called to something radically different — to take on the gentle and humble yoke of Christ (Matthew 11:29). But how do we actually live that out in our homes, marriages, friendships, and ministries?

If you're a busy Christian woman longing to:

• Love your family well
• Speak with kindness instead of reacting in frustration
• Serve God with humility
• Grow spiritually through sanctification
• Become more like Jesus in your daily life

This episode will give you biblical encouragement and practical application rooted in Scripture.

Gentleness isn’t weakness. It’s strength under control. And it grows as we become more like Christ.

In This Episode, We Discuss:

• Why gentleness is a fruit that develops over time
• How sanctification shapes a gentle spirit
• Why gentleness matters more to God than many outward achievements
• How God cares deeply about how we treat others
• How God cares about how we treat ourselves
• The gentle character of Jesus and how to imitate Him
• Why our words and tone matter
• Serving God with our hands and hearts
• The seriousness of avoiding harshness and physical abuse

In this Fruits of the Spirit Bible study for women, we continue our Christ-centered study by talking honestly about patience — and how difficult it can be to practice in a fast-paced, demanding world.

As busy women, we often get so wrapped up in our to-do lists that impatience shows up in subtle but damaging ways — with our children, our husbands, our coworkers, our goals, and even ourselves.

In this episode, we reflect on how God shows us patience, and how His example teaches us to respond without outbursts of anger, to extend understanding, and to slow our hearts even when life feels rushed. Together, we explore how impatience is often rooted in control, expectations, and exhaustion — and how the Holy Spirit helps us grow in this fruit.

Whether you're feeling stretched thin or simply longing to respond more gently, this episode offers biblical encouragement, honest reflection, and practical ways to practice patience today.

✨In this episode, we discuss:

• What worldly situations test our patience
• Everyday areas where impatience shows up
• Scripture on patience and God’s example toward us
• Practical ways to respond with patience in the moment
• How to manage anger and extend grace in hard seasons

In this Fruits of the Spirit Bible study for women, we continue our Christ-centered study by talking honestly about biblical peace versus worldly peace.

As busy women, we often expect peace to come from quiet schedules, full cups, or perfect circumstances. But true spiritual peace doesn’t come from scrolling, escaping, or controlling our environment — it comes from prayer and walking closely with Christ.

In this episode, we reflect on how Jesus modeled peace, especially in vital and overwhelming moments. When He went away to be alone, it wasn’t to disconnect — it was to pray. Through His example, we learn how to pursue peace even in hardship, mental heaviness, and seasons that feel anything but calm.

Together, we ask:

• How do we have peace in the midst of hardship?
• What circumstances challenge our peace the most?
• How have we unknowingly resisted peace?
• How do the desires of the flesh rob us of the peace God offers?

Whether you are in a peaceful season or walking through difficulty, this episode offers biblical encouragement, honest reflection, and practical ways to live out spiritual peace today.

✨In this episode, we discuss:

• Biblical peace versus worldly peace
• What Jesus did when He withdrew to be alone
• Key moments when Jesus sought solitude and prayer
• The example of peace Christ displayed
• How we can live out true spiritual peace today
• How fleshly desires steal our peace

How Do We Protect Our Joy & Mental Health? | Fruits of the Spirit Bible Study for Women

In this Fruits of the Spirit Bible study for women, we continue Week 6 of our Christ-centered study by talking honestly about mental health, anxiety, postpartum depression, and protecting the gift of joy God has given us.

How do we guard our joy in busy seasons?

What is the difference between joy and happiness?

And how do we walk with Christ when mental health feels heavy?

As Christian women, it’s easy to let daily responsibilities, physical health struggles, and spiritual discouragement steal our joy. In this episode, we gently examine how Scripture calls us to protect our joy while also acknowledging the real and valid struggles of anxiety and depression.

We also walk through Proverbs 17:22, discuss personal testimony of postpartum depression, and talk about how biblical joy fuels effective discipleship.

In this Foundations of Faith Bible study for women, we continue Week 6 of our Christ-centered Bible study by walking through 1 Corinthians 13 and asking an honest heart question: Can we love others better?

As busy women, it’s easy to miss the everyday behaviors that reflect selfishness rather than Christ-like love. In this episode, we gently examine how the flesh shows up in our thoughts, words, and habits—and how God calls us to something deeper.

Together, we’ll reflect on how our behaviors align with God’s truth, why selfishness is the opposite of love, and what it looks like to grow in love as friends, wives, mothers, and women of faith.

Whether you’re new to Bible study or continuing to deepen your walk with Christ, this episode offers biblical encouragement, gentle conviction, and practical reflection you can apply to everyday life.

✨In this episode, we discuss:

• 1 Corinthians 13 explained in a practical, relatable way

Which Desires of the Flesh Do I Need to Do Away With? | Fruits of the Spirit Bible Study for Women

In this Fruits of the Spirit Bible study for women, we continue Week 6 of our Christ-centered Bible study by walking through Galatians 5:16–26 and asking an important heart question: Which desires of the flesh do I need to do away with?

As busy women, it’s easy to overlook the subtle ways the flesh shows up in our thoughts, words, and daily habits. In this episode, we talk honestly about identifying the works of the flesh, staying in step with the Holy Spirit, and allowing God to shape our hearts so we can bear lasting spiritual fruit.

Together, we’ll reflect on how to keep the words of our mouths and the desires of our hearts aligned with God’s truth—and how the fruit of the Spirit becomes visible when we walk by faith, not by flesh.
