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.

In a world that often confuses approval with love, thisScripture brings us back to God’s heart. Real love doesn’t celebrate what harms, deceives, or destroys — it rejoices in what brings freedom, healing, and righteousness.

This devotional helps us understand how truth and love work together, how Jesus modeled compassion without compromising holiness, and how we can stand for truth with gentleness and grace. If you desire a deeper, more Christlike love that reflects both grace and conviction, this episode will encourage and equip your heart.

In this episode of the Truth Over Tradition Devotional Series, we look at one of the most radical acts of love—forgiveness. 1 Corinthians 13:5 reminds us that real love “keeps no record of wrongs.”

True love refuses to keep score. It releases offenses, cancels debts, and mirrors the grace of Christ. This devotional explores how bitterness chains us to the past, how God’s forgiveness sets us free, and how we can extend that same mercy to others.

If you’ve struggled to let go of hurt or resentment, this episode will remind you that the love of God is strong enough to heal every wound and write a new story of grace.

In this episode of the Truth Over Tradition DevotionalSeries, we continue our journey through 1 Corinthians 13 and discover how pride and rudeness distort genuine love. While the world often equates strength with arrogance or bluntness, Scripture shows that true love expresses itselfthrough humility and honor.

Learn how pride isolates while humility connects, how harshness breaks but gentleness heals, and how Christ modeledperfect love by choosing meekness over might. This devotional invites us to follow Jesus’ example—to replace pride with grace, rudeness with reverence, and self-promotion with service.

In this episode of the Truth Over Tradition DevotionalSeries, we explore how envy and boasting—two sides of the same coin—undermine the purity of love. Where envy resents the blessings of others, boasting seeks to elevate self. Both miss the mark of Christlike humility.

Through Scripture, reflection, and practical application, welearn that genuine love finds freedom from comparison by rooting its identity in God’s grace. Love doesn’t compete for attention or validation; it celebrates others and gives glory to God.

Join us as we discover how the love that “does not envy orboast” liberates our hearts to live content, humble, and confident in Christ alone.

In this episode of the Truth Over Tradition Devotional Series, we continue our journey through 1 Corinthians 13 by exploring what it truly means that love is kind. While patience endures, kindness acts. It moves beyond emotion to compassion in motion—meeting real needs with grace and gentleness.

Through Scripture and reflection, we discover that kindness begins in the heart of God and becomes a powerful witness in our daily lives. From the Good Samaritan’s compassion to Christ’s mercy at the cross, this devotional reminds us that even the smallest act of kindness can reveal the very heart of Jesus.

Join us as we discover how Spirit-filled kindness transforms hearts, heals wounds, and shines the light of Christ in a dark and unkind world.
