Welcome to Week 9 — the final week of Fruitful Girl Summer! 🌸 This week, we’re tackling a fruit of the Spirit that can be one of the hardest to master — self-control.
The world often tells us to “follow our feelings,” but God calls us to live led by the Spirit, not by our impulses. 💪 In this episode, I’m sharing what the Bible says about self-control, how it protects your purpose, and why it’s a key to living in freedom rather than bondage.
✨ We’ll dig into scriptures like Galatians 5:19-21 and Titus 2:11-12, and talk about how self-control impacts everything from your thoughts and words to your habits and relationships. You’ll discover how it’s not about willpower alone, but about relying on the Holy Spirit to help you choose what’s best over what’s easy.
👀 PLUS: I’m giving you this week’s self-control challenge and reflection questions to help you put what you learn into action — so you don’t just hear the Word, but live it.
Whether you’re working on breaking unhealthy patterns, creating new routines, or guarding your heart and mind, this episode will give you practical tools and spiritual encouragement to walk in discipline and grace. 💛
🎧 Tune in, share with your girl gang, and let’s finish Fruitful Girl Summer strong — becoming the women God has called us to be, from the inside out.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
