Back to EpisodesEP#393: Self-Control Isn't a Willpower Problem - Fruit That Grows in Freedom
Description
From Today’s Episode
In today’s episode, we talk about self-control without the self-pressure.
Do you feel like self-control depends entirely on how hard you try? In this faith-based reflection, we look at why willpower alone leaves us worn out, and how God's Spirit actually empowers the self-control we've been striving for on our own. If you're tired of white-knuckling your way through spiritual growth, this Christian encouragement will help you learn how to hear from God about the one area where you need Him to step in today.
Our Good God talks with us and we're created for life with Him, so let's experience more of it!
Verse
Titus 2:11-12
"For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age."
Question
God, where's an area of my life where I lack self-control, and what do you want to empower me to walk in instead by your Spirit?
