Happy Star Wars day! May the fourth be with you. This week we’re discussing the Fruits of the Spirit, but laying the foundation for our pursuit of them through humility first.

What does the Bible have to say about it?

What behaviors do we exhibit that separate us from God?

What would it look like to build our habits around embodying and cultivating spiritual fruit?

SHOW NOTES

This episode’s reading is from Romans 12: 1-5; and Galatians 5: 19-22, taken from the NLT Study Bible. If you’d like to pick one of these up for yourself or someone you know, they can be found here:

Hello friends! Jo and Enriquez have officially entered into maternity leave, and have left you all in the somewhat questionable hands of producer Kyle. For the first guest host week we will be discussing anxiety and worry, and specifically hearing an excerpt from Jesus’s Sermon on the Mount.

-How do we respond to anxiety and worry as believers?

-Does our use of professional help and medication undermine God’s ultimate provision?

-How can we support others, both believers and non-believers?

SHOW NOTES

Today’s reading from the Sermon on the Mount is from the NLT Study Bible, and is found in Matthew 6:25-34. If you’d like to purchase one of these, they can be found here:

⚽⚽ Are soccer referees teaching us more about respect for authority than law school deans?! (Spoiler alert: YES.)

👨‍👶 We all have authority figures in our lives, and sometimes our relationships with them are complicated. Our faith weighs in. 

🌟 Authority can be a stabilizing force and guiding light in our life – and that’s GOOD.
