This week, we're wrapping up our season of the Fruit of the Spirit with a conversation with

my friend and this show's podcast editor, Angie Elkins. We talk about what it looks like to live a

fruitful life, and we share personal stories from our own journeys with Jesus, as well as a few stories from listeners like you.

And yes, of course, we will also be spending time praying as well.

This week, Angie prays with me through John Chapter 15, and we meditate on how the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit all work together to bear fruit in our lives.

So I invite you to listen in to our conversation at the start of this episode and then toward the end, spend 10 minutes with us praying for God to work the fruit of His Spirit in our lives as we recite God's goodness,

express our neediness, seek his stillness, and trust his faithfulness. But now to get started,

Angie, I am so excited that we get to do this together. You have been laboring behind the

scenes to make this podcast sound

great. And I'm so excited to introduce you to our listeners. Would you start by just telling us

of the fruit of the spirit, which one has been most challenging to you this season?

You're just going right for it, right?

Let's do it.

Just like, let's just jump in and go for the hard stuff.

Yes.

Well, I mean, I would say it's not just this season, but probably my entire life.

There are probably two, I think, that pop up the most.

I would say gentleness and self-control are probably the two that I feel don't come as naturally to me.

Not that any of them really are natural, but those are the two that I find myself stumbling over, probably more than the others.

What about you?

Yeah.

Self-control would be at the top.
