In Day 2 of the Truth Over Tradition Devotional Series: Week on the Fruit of the Spirit, we focus on the foundation of every other spiritual fruit: love.

Galatians 5:22 begins the list of Spirit-produced fruit withlove because love is not simply one quality among many. It is the root from which joy, peace, patience, kindness, and every other fruit grows. Without love, spiritual maturity becomes shallow and forced. With love rooted in Christ, growth becomes natural and life-giving.

This devotional explores how biblical love begins with God,grows through abiding rather than striving, and quietly shapes our character through ordinary faithfulness. If you desire lasting transformation rather than temporary effort, this episode will help reorient your heart toward the love that only the Holy Spirit can produce.

In this opening episode of the Truth Over TraditionDevotional Series: Week on the Fruit of the Spirit, we begin where spiritual growth truly starts — not with behavior, but with surrender.

Before the fruit of the Spirit can grow, our lives must berooted in the daily guidance of the Holy Spirit. Drawing from Galatians 5:16, this devotional explores what it means to walk by the Spirit rather than striving in our own strength.

Walking by the Spirit is not about perfection orperformance. It is about relationship, dependence, and learning to live under God’s leadership one step at a time. If you’ve ever felt discouraged by spiritual striving or exhausted by trying harder, this episode invites you into a freer, Spirit-led way of living where real transformation begins.

In this final episode of the Truth Over TraditionDevotional Series: Week on Love, we explore one of the most powerful attributes of Christlike love: perseverance.

1 Corinthians 13:7–8 tells us that real love “bears allthings… endures all things… [and] never ends.” This is not a fragile or conditional love. It is a courageous, resilient, God-empowered love that stands firm through pressure, disappointment, hardship, and seasons of waiting.

This devotional will encourage your heart to remain steadfast in trials, to lean on the faithfulness of Christ, and to trust that His love at work in you is stronger than every storm you face. If you’ve ever felt tired, stretched, or tempted to give up, this message will remind you that God’s love never quits, and neither should ours.
