Self-control is more than discipline for its own sake. It is control with a purpose — to glorify God. Listen as we think about what makes Christian self-control unique, and how we should ask God's Spirit to produce it in us.

While we often think of gentleness in connection to actions, it is deeper than that. Paul describes gentleness with a word that encompasses both our attitudes and our actions. Listen in as we discuss how God's Spirit makes us humble so that we can be people marked by gentleness.

What does kindness look like in normal life? Though we can easily imagine being kind to people "out there in the world", kindness is meant to apply in our everyday relationships with our neighbors, families, fellow Christians, and even our employers, employees, and customers. Listen as we think about God's kindness to us — and how He helps us show the same kindness to others.
Being patient is more than keeping a smile on our faces when we’re stuck in the drive-through at Chick-Fil-A. It means continuing to trust God even when people irritate us, ignore us, or directly attack us. Join us as we consider how the Holy Spirit helps us be patient in every kind of circumstance.

Join us for a conversation with Daniel Rutt as we discuss what Anabaptists believe about salvation, exploring the early Anabaptist view of the gospel and identifying contemporary imbalances. We talk about what makes the Anabaptist view of salvation different from Catholic and Protestant views.

Join us for this engaging interview with Dean Taylor, president of Zollikon Institute, as we discuss how the early Anabaptists understood non-resistance, how their views aligned with those in the early church, and how views on non-resistance have developed since the Anabaptist beginnings in the 16th century.
