How do we embody the teachings of Jesus in our lives, especially in a world often divided by politics and differing lifestyles? This episode is a deep reflection on how the fruit of the spirit—love, patience, joy, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, and gentleness—can manifest in our daily interactions and within our faith communities. We challenge the conventional boundaries of acceptance and inclusivity, urging listeners to contemplate the true essence of Christianity as a call to love and justice for all.
