In Part 2 of our walk through Galatians 5:22–23, we get into the “middle fruit” that shows up where real life hurts: joy, peace, patience, kindness, and goodness. We talk about why joy isn’t the same thing as happiness, how peace can show up in the worst moments (even cancer and funerals), and why patience is often just the Spirit giving you that split-second pause before you clap back. Then we bring it down to street level: your witness rises or falls on how you treat people—especially the ones who can’t give you anything back. Bottom line: you can’t manufacture this fruit with willpower. Abide in Christ (John 15), and the Spirit grows what you can’t fake. #FruitOfTheSpirit #Galatians522 #AbideInChrist

In this episode, we camp out in Galatians 5:22–23 and talk about the fruit of the Spirit—not as a cute “be nicer” list, but as the Spirit’s evidence that Jesus is actually running your life. We break down what love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control look like in the real world—especially when you’re stressed, triggered, tempted, or tired. Because this isn’t behavior management… it’s heart transformation—and the fruit shows up when you stop white-knuckling holiness and start walking with the Spirit.

Ed & Jay put your emotions on the witness stand: “Rejoice always” and “In everything give thanks.” Not the cheesy, fake-smile version—Paul’s midnight-in-prison, scars-and-songs kind of joy (Acts 16:25). We talk about how real joy isn’t personality or circumstance… it’s union with Jesus and the Spirit’s fruit that shows up when life doesn’t. Then we tackle the hard line: you don’t thank God for evil—but you can thank Him in it, because He’s present, He’s working, and He’s still in control (Rom. 8:28). If your gratitude has conditions, this episode is your intervention. #RejoiceAlways #GiveThanksAnyway #BiblePodcast
