The seventh fruit of the Spirit is “faithfulness”. In this episode, Brian discusses what’s involved in cultivating greater faith on a personal level. It can be a difficult process marked by intimidating hurdles, but God gives us all we need to grow into the faithful men and women He’s called us to be.

Jesus once said, “There is only one who is good.” It seems fair to say our society has lost its sense of what constitutes goodness. God is the perfect representation of it, and expect His people to be as well. Brian continues his journey through the fruits of the Spirit in this episode on goodness.

It’s rare to see a genuine act of kindness—that is, doing good without any expectation of reciprocation. Kindness is inconvenient, but maybe that’s the point. In this episode, Brian breaks down the role of kindness in faith.

In such a fast-paced, high-pressure society, it’s very difficult to be patient. Nevertheless, patience is a critical quality God calls His people to exhibit as evidence of God’s power and presence. In this episode, Brian reflects on the necessity for and path to greater patience.

Peace is the centerpiece of the biblical message. The Old Testament, New Testament—the entire Gospel is all about achieving peace for God’s creation. Listen to learn how you can attain it. This episode continues Brian’s series on the fruits of the Spirit.

Happiness plays a massive role in modern society. Many, even if they never verbalize it, have made happiness (or rather, the pursuit of it) the center of their livelihood. Happiness though often proves elusive and is not, surprisingly, at the center of the Gospel. A more worthwhile pursuit is joy, the product of encountering the Gospel.

Brian kicks off his series on spiritual fruitfulness by talking about love, perhaps the most important yet perplexing characteristics of God. Love is not just something Christians associate with God’s character, though—it is a lifestyle we are all called to emulate as people created in His image!
