Today we're kicking off our study of the Fruit of the Spirit! We'll be basing this conversation in Scripture found in the book of Galatians in Chapter 5. Throughout this series, we are going to be talking about how we can live more like Jesus by abiding in Him and His ways. Today’s episode is an overview and will provide some context about what the Fruit of the Spirit is and what it means for our everyday lives.
No matter how you’re joining in today - whether you believe in Jesus or not - you’re welcome here.
If you do not have a Bible, you can access a digital version for free at Bible.com. You can also learn more about the Bible and find a variety of resources to help you learn more about Scripture (like how to read the Bible) at BibleProject.com.
