This episode covers why the fruit of the Spirit cannot be understood apart from its source, the Holy Spirit. Galatians 5 contrasts the destructive works of the flesh with the transforming power of the Spirit, reminding us that if there is no Spirit, there is no fruit. We unpack how this passage has often been sanitized, reducing love, joy, peace, and kindness to surface-level niceness, instead of seeing them defined by the life of Jesus Himself. The conversation presses into the grit of Paul’s words—crucifying the flesh, walking in step with the Spirit, and resisting the temptation to return to law or self-reliance. Ultimately, we’re called to live Spirit-empowered lives marked by clarity, courage, conviction, compassion, and a love for the lost.Website: jasonshepperd.com Audio Devotionals: startwith7.com Have Conversations Toward Salvation: goodgodgospel.com Church Project Network: churchprojectnetwork.com Good City: goodcity.org“A Church of House Churches: An Articulated and Applied Ecclesiology”: https://a.co/d/0vgpSjV
