In this episode of the Salty Saints podcast, Randy and I kick off an exciting new series focused on virtues!
We begin by discussing how they can be seen as character qualities that we can learn and develop over time. We explore various lists of virtues found in both the New Testament and ancient philosophy, including Plato's cardinal virtues: prudence, justice, fortitude, and temperance.
We also touch on the influence of Greek philosophy on early Christian thought, referencing the Wisdom of Solomon and 4 Maccabees, which echo these cardinal virtues. As we transition into the New Testament, we highlight five key passages that outline virtues, including the well-known fruit of the Spirit from Galatians 5, and how these virtues are essential for all believers, not just church leaders.
Throughout the episode, we emphasize the importance of self-assessment and the transformative power of the Holy Spirit in cultivating these virtues in our lives. We encourage listeners to reflect on their own character and strive to embody these qualities, ultimately aiming to become more like Jesus.
As always, we appreciate your support and encourage you to check out more content at saltysaintspodcast.com and lifeaudio.com.
Until next time, stay salty!
