In this episode, we consider together faithfulness as an aspect of the fruit of the Spirit. Not only do we get to ponder the faithfulness of God in our lives - his faithfulness to us - but also his transforming power to make us into a people of faithfulness. We lean in to look at our lives, everything we have been given - through the lens of God's faithfulness. We ask the question, "how can I be faithful today with what I...

In this episode, we take a few minutes to bring to our minds what scripture says about joy. We hold space to ponder joy - both related to earthly circumstances and eternal ones.  Joy we find easily and joy we find ourselves hoping for, waiting for - looking ahead to. What does joy look like in sorrow, in grief, in loss? What does joy look like in the midst of the little, everyday things? What does God's joy look like? Together...

In this episode, we take a few minutes for a simple reflection on love as the fruit of the Spirit. Our hope is to lean into each of our own individual relationships with God, becoming presently aware of his love for us - that we might be compelled to pursue loving others today.

this is what love says:
You are precious.
You are made with purpose.
You are worthwhile.

In this episode, we settle back in and set the scene for the next few weeks of thinking on purpose about the fruit of the Spirit from Galatians 5. Our main priority is to posture ourselves to ponder the fruit of the Spirit in such a way that we are not striving, but instead we're leaning toward Jesus - letting his heart rub off on ours through abiding communion with him  - in his transforming mercy.
So glad you're he...

In this episode, we make space to both prayerfully look at our inner spiritual life as it is today, as well as consider how we might intentionally posture ourselves toward the peace of God as we move forward through our lives. Together we look at Proverbs 4:26  which says, “Ponder the path of your feet, And let all your ways be established.”

In this episode, we remember together that God created and owns both day and night, both summer and winter. We take heart by remembering that whatever we're walking through in this soul season, it belongs to God. He is trustworthy to hold the beginnings, endings, and middles of our lives. Every story line. There is no season where he is not looking upon his children with love. He does not slumber, but he cares for us always. I...
