S1-E14: Expressions of God’s Life

November 13, 2020 • 53 min

Notes:

We were made to contain and express God’s life. The Bible describes these expressions of God’s life the “fruit of the Spirit.” Galatians 5:22-23 describes this “fruit” as “love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.” On this podcast, Ross talks with Beau Brezina, Jamie Pharis Pyles and Mark Fields about the fruit of the Spirit and how we can glorify God by displaying his tasty fruit.
