| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to the Brilliant Perspectives Podcast, where learning is powered by the heart. |
| 0:07.3 | I'm your host, Jalen Bowden, and it is always a pleasure to have you here with us. |
| 0:13.4 | I am so thrilled to dive into this month's new theme together, because we're going to be spending |
| 0:18.6 | some time exploring one specific fruit of the spirit, patience. You know, when I first came to |
| 0:24.9 | Brilliant, I was so eager to start this new way of learning with God that I really couldn't |
| 0:30.1 | decide where to dive in first. And so during my very first week with the team, I was chatting with |
| 0:35.7 | Graham and I mentioned that I had just gotten started with the prophetic equipping series, |
| 0:40.5 | which by the way, those are incredible books. And when I told Graham that that's where I had |
| 0:45.6 | decided to start, he actually paused for a moment. Then he laughed lightly and smiled at me. |
| 0:53.6 | Before he finally said, you know, I think a great place for you to start is with the fruit of |

| 1:11.4 | about the fruit that way. Immediately after, I started listening to cultivating the fruit of the |
| 1:17.1 | spirit, and I kept coming back to it again and again for over an entire year. And Graham was |
| 1:24.8 | completely right. Not only did I start to understand more about the nature of God and what his |
| 1:29.7 | voice is like, but I also began to understand more about who I get to be in the middle of difficult |
| 1:36.1 | circumstances. Because our identity in Christ means that we get to practice responding to life |
| 1:42.3 | situations just like Jesus would. So today, Graham is going to give us an introduction to the fruit |
| 1:49.3 | of patience. Let's dive in as we discover the empowering space that patience creates for us |
| 1:55.9 | in the middle of our circumstances. I remember one of my mentors saying to me, Graham, whatever |
| 2:04.4 | you do, never, never, ever ask the Lord for patience. And many of you may feel the same way. |
| 2:12.3 | I believe for a long time that patience was to be avoided in favor of something better, like |
