Feeling stuck?
You’re not alone. A lot of us hit points in life where we wonder: Why am I still like this?
Whether it’s a short fuse, a distracted heart, or a low-grade grumpiness that won’t quit… we start asking: “How do I actually change?” Do we just grit our teeth and try harder? Buy another book? Download a productivity app? Yell affirmations into the mirror?
This summer, we’re inviting you into a different way of thinking about growth—one that doesn’t start with hustle or self-help. It starts with the Holy Spirit.
For 9 weeks we’ll explore the fruit of the Spirit from Galatians 5—love, joy, peace, patience, and more. We’ll ask honest questions, listen for good news, and discover how these traits actually grow in our real lives.
Together we’ll see that change is less about strain and will power, and more about staying connected to the source. Because the fruit of the Spirit is not a checklist to perform, but a picture of what Jesus is like.
“The main thing God gets out of your life is not the achievements you accomplish. It’s the person you become.”
