Ability or Dependability?

This week join Aaron with special guest Sean Butler as they unpack the Faithful fruit.

In Scripture, the concept of faith is often misunderstood as mere belief or mental agreement. However, a deeper look at both the Hebrew (אָמֵן – aman, H539) and Greek (πιστεύω – pisteuō, G4100) roots reveals a fuller picture: faith is trustworthiness, reliability, and dependability—not just belief in God, but faithfulness to God.

“The just shall live by his faith.” – Habakkuk 2:4

In both the Old and New Testaments, faith is consistently shown through action and loyalty. It’s not enough to acknowledge God’s existence; true faith manifests as consistent obedience and unwavering commitment to God’s ways. This is why Abraham was counted righteous—not because he believed God existed, but because he trusted and obeyed Him. Moses, too, is called faithful in all God's house—not because of what he believed, but because of how he lived.

Even Jesus commended individuals for their faith when He saw their actions—like the friends who lowered the paralytic through the roof (Matt. 9:2) or the Canaanite woman whose persistence led to her daughter’s healing (Matt. 15:28).

A faithful husband is not judged by his beliefs, but by his consistency, loyalty, and actions. Likewise, God calls His people to demonstrate faith by their dependability—by living lives that reflect His character.

Faithfulness is Dependability

This week’s fruit is Goodness, or beneficence if you want to sound fancy. Have you ever picked grapes from an orange tree? Or dates from a pomegranate tree? Of course not. Can you bear good fruit? Only if the goodness of messiah is in you. Aaron and Victoria discuss fruit today, good fruit. Did you notice Victoria’s finger? She was getting a bit carried away in the vineyard picking fruit and nearly gave herself an amputation. I might be exaggerating a bit. If you watch the video she’ll tell you all about it.

This week’s fruit is Kindness, and it’s a tough one. Most of us would consider ourselves kind, and usually we are. But what happens when we aren’t? Why do we stop being Kind? Randy Hilton is today’s guest, and he shares some very insightful knowledge about why we stop being kind, and just as importantly, how to grow the Kindness Fruit.

Aaron was so excited about today’s episode that he went and interviewed 2 of his favorite people so we went ahead and stuck those bonus interviews on the at the end. If you’re wondering what donut holes have to do with the Kindness Fruit, you’ll have to stick around until the end to hear Luke Hilton from the Israel Guys explain it.

This week’s fruit is Patience, or maybe more accurately, waiting with joy. It can also be translated long suffering. Patience sounds a lot easier than long suffering doesn’t it? Aaron is joined by special guest Britt Waller for this week as they delve into this muscle that we must exercise in order to work out our salvation. Aaron also shares 7 ways that growing our patience muscle will help us in our every day lives.

This week’s fruit is Peace. When we think of Israel, how often do we think of peace? It seems to be rather elusive over there, and yet, the city where God put his name - Jerusalem - bears witness to His plans to bring peace not only to this tiny nation, but to the entire world. It will only be through the Prince of Peace, Yeshua the messiah that this peace will even be possible.

But the greatest of these is LOVE. We know that we are requires to love like Yeshua loved. It’s easy to love the lovable, but what about “those” people who really seem unlovable? Aaron and Victoria cover this most important command from the Mountains of Israel.

As a bonus, if you can figure out what Shira Sue is saying to her brothers off-screen, Aaron will send you a free shirt.

This week’s fruit is Joy. Exceeding Joy! Listen and be inspired as Aaron shares about the fruit of the spirit. Joy is the defining characteristic of believers at the end of the end of the age. David, despite his many troubles, found great cause to rejoice. He called the Law of the LORD his delight. We must train our emotions to be one of joy, despite the circumstances that may surround us

Well based on the response last week, no one wanted a CD so maybe a t-shirt would be more enticing? Email [email protected] the time that you see our logo flash across the screen and if you are the second person with the correct time, we will mail you a shirt. Since this is the second video on the fruit of the spirit we figured the #2 person should get the shirt. If you’re married, we will not be sending you two shirts. You’ll have to joyfully work that out amongst y’allselves.

I like fruit. And God does too. He actually wants you to have more fruit in your life. So Aaron and Victoria are going to tell you about the delicious fruit “Self Control”.  As a warning though, just like natural fruit, it doesn’t always taste good while it’s developing, but once it’s ripe the sweetness lingers and refreshes you. 

We decided to change it up this week and we’re giving away a CD instead of a mug. We will send you a real one if you still have a CD player or we can send you a digital copy. Your choice. Email [email protected] the time that you see our logo flash across the screen. It’s pretty easy this week, unless you’re looking too hard for it.
