In this episode, we dive deeper into what real spiritual growth looks like especially when it’s uncomfortable. We’re talking about the Fruit of the Spirit and how it shows up in our lives when God calls us to shift, surrender, and grow beyond who we used to be. From unlearning old habits to embracing transformation, this conversation is all about the fruit we’re working on and the personal pivots we’ve had to make along the way. If you’re in a season of stretching, shifting, or surrendering this one’s for you.Upcoming Live Show:Dallas – July 26:https://concerts.livenation.com/your-favorite-aunties-podcast-18-event-dallas-texas-07-26-2025/event/0C00624DA4D82B52Dallas VIP Add-On – July 26:https://concerts.livenation.com/vip-meet-greet-add-on-your-dallas-texas-07-26-2025/event/0C00624DFE213929⸻Are you loving our skin?

The Fruit of the Spirit is the same for all of us love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control but how each one grows, shows up, and stretches us is real personal. In this episode we unpack what it looks like to walk those nine traits out in real life, from seasons of strength to moments of struggle. We get honest about working through weak spots, letting the Holy Spirit shape us from the inside out, and recognizing that not all fruit ripens at once. Whether you’re flourishing or still figuring it out, this convo reminds you that growth may look different for every journey, but the goal is still good fruit and it’s always possible.Dallas – July 26:https://concerts.livenation.com/your-favorite-aunties-podcast-18-event-dallas-texas-07-26-2025/event/0C00624DA4D82B52Dallas VIP Add-On – July 26:https://concerts.livenation.com/vip-meet-greet-add-on-your-dallas-texas-07-26-2025/event/0C00624DFE213929⸻Are you loving our skin?

This week, we’re joined by Apostle Karey Thomas of Ambition of Christ Restoration Center for a deep dive into the language of the church and how it’s shaped how we see ourselves, our convictions, and even our callings. We’re breaking down “Christianese,” separating personal convictions from sin, and revisiting what the standard of God actually is. Plus, we explore how God still calls, equips, and uses people fully aware of their humanity. Whether you’re a seasoned saint or new to the faith, this convo will challenge you to rethink the labels, the lingo, and what it really means to live set apart.
