Podcasts about fruit of the spirit

Jesus offers a powerful spiritual insight to help us see into the heart by the fruitfulness of daily life. (Lectionary #373) June 25, 2025 - Cathedral Rectory - Superior, WI Fr. Andrew Ricci - www.studyprayserve.com  

Pastor Parker delves deep into the nature of patience, revealing it as not just a passive waiting but an active trust in God's character. Drawing on biblical stories, he emphasizes that patience, or "Macrothymia," is about steadfastness and perseverance during life's prolonged challenges—reminding us that even in waiting, we are being shaped for greater things. He connects this idea to our own lives, acknowledging that life tests our patience through mundane annoyances and significant adversities alike. Pastor Parker encourages the church to lean into these trials, assuring them that their suffering holds purpose and that God is working through their pain to cultivate spiritual growth. He invites everyone to actively pursue patience as a fruit of the Spirit, reflecting God's kindness and love to others, especially those who challenge us the most. 

What does it mean to be patient? What is long-suffering? What is so great about waiting anyway?

PEACE | Nathan Benger

What if the “peace” you're protecting in your marriage… is actually costing you real connection?In this episode, we're unpacking how passivity can disguise itself as love—especially in Christian marriages. We've seen it in our own relationship: moments when silence looked like patience, but it was actually fear. Times when we avoided conflict, convinced we were being kind or godly, but bitterness was the fruit.We explore:Why passivity is not the same as peacekeepingHow we can accidentally mislabel people-pleasing & call it love Why stuffing your voice for the sake of love can slowly erode intimacy3  self-reflection questions :

In her sermon, Shari uses the metaphor of the Camino de Santiago—a long spiritual pilgrimage—to illustrate the Christian journey of moving continually toward peace and away from chaos. She reflects on her own experience walking the Camino, emphasizing that the daily, intentional choices made on the trail mirror the spiritual decisions we make in life. Life, like the Camino, is not static. Everything is always in motion—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Shari ties this constant movement to the second law of thermodynamics, highlighting humanity's natural tendency toward disorder unless we intentionally choose otherwise. Spiritually, we're always moving toward either peace (shalom: wholeness, well-being, safety) or chaos (slavery, disorder, retaliation). Shari contrasts biblical peace with today's culture of “my truth” and ethical relativism, which echo the times of the Judges when "everyone did what was right in their own eyes." She argues that freedom in Christ means intentionally choosing the path that leads to peace, even when it is counterintuitive or difficult. The lie from the Garden of Eden—that we are the exception to the rule—still misleads us today. We often believe we can harbor resentment, avoid forgiveness, or justify sin without consequences. Shari emphasizes that choosing chaos—like revenge, bitterness, and pride—leads us back into spiritual slavery. Through examples from both Scripture (Gideon, the Exodus, Judges) and literature (Nietzsche's philosophy, Crime and Punishment, Macbeth, Hamlet, East of Eden), she shows how refusing to forgive, holding onto bitterness, or believing ourselves exempt from consequences always results in suffering. Forgiveness, though often seen as illogical or undeserved, is the path to freedom. She tells real-life stories—like her friend Bob who justifies meanness because “they started it”—to show how childish and harmful these justifications are. True peace begins with us, not with others. We often claim we want peace but refuse to let go of pride, pain, or perceived justice to get it. Shari closes by urging the congregation to choose the fruit of the Spirit—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control—as the “good fruit” in contrast to Adam and Eve's wrong choice. Like the biblical figures and literary characters she referenced, we too stand at a crossroads daily: toward peace and freedom in Christ, or chaos and slavery in sin. The Gospel gives us the power through the Holy Spirit to undo our wrong choices and walk “The Way” that leads to true peace. Discussion Questions Shari says we often believe “we are the exception to the rule.” How have you seen that idea play out in your own life or culture? What does the word “shalom” (biblical peace) mean to you? How is it different from simply not fighting or being calm? Are there any areas in your life where you are choosing chaos (bitterness, revenge, pride) instead of peace? What would it look like to choose differently? Who is someone in your life that you feel “started it”? What would it take for you to forgive them anyway? Which of the fruits of the Spirit do you most need to grow in right now to walk in peace? What's one practical way you could pursue it this week?

This message explores the Fruit of the Spirit: Kindness—not as cultural niceness, but as Spirit-led, transformational love.

Through the life of Jesus, we see that true kindness doesn't avoid hard truth—it leads people into repentance, freedom, and wholeness.

Pastor Nick expressed gratitude for the opportunity to share his journey as a father and husband while emphasizing the importance of peace in our lives. He described biblical peace as not being the absence of conflict but the presence of Jesus, who provides wholeness and inner rest despite life's challenges. Pastor Nick encouraged the church to seek peace over security and comfort, reminding them that true peace can only be found in a relationship with Christ.

Have you ever felt stuck—spiritually dry, emotionally exhausted, or like you're running in circles trying to grow but not seeing any lasting change? In this week's episode of OneChurch Podcast, Pastor Ken Senchal reveals a truth that could unlock your next breakthrough: change doesn't come from trying harder—it comes from staying connected to Christ. Rooted in Ephesians 1 and John 15, this message explores what it really means to live “in Christ”—and why so many believers never experience the fullness of that identity. Pastor Ken also shares how spiritual disciplines like daily prayer aren't religious rituals—they're lifelines that keep us aligned with God's voice and power.

Friends, this is the great feast of Pentecost, the feast of the Holy Spirit. In the First Reading, the Spirit manifests himself as a strong driving wind, and while you can't see the wind directly, you can see its effects. The text I want to reflect on today is not in the readings but is one of my favorites: Galatians 5:22–26, when St. Paul talks about “the fruit of the Spirit.” And it's precisely to this same point: What are the signs that the Holy Spirit is operative in us?
