When Working Harder Doesn't Work: Becoming a Truly Fruitful Marriage


Listen Later

Many Christians try to fix their marriage by "working harder" on their behavior, but as we discuss in this episode, that’s like stapling fruit to a dead tree. If you find yourself lacking patience, kindness, or self-control, the problem isn't your effort—it’s your root. We dive deep into the Greek definitions of the Fruit of the Spirit, the "tailpipe" diagnostic for your home, and the reality of what it means to truly be a regenerate believer. This breakdown offers the biblical roadmap to moving from fleshly "rotten fruit" to a life truly indwelled by the Spirit.
