Welcome to today's podcast episode. We are in a series called "A Fruit-Filled Life." This series takes us on a journey to develop the fruit of the Spirit into our everyday lives. In this episode, we're talking about how the development of the fruit of the Spirit in our lives is directly connected to our effectiveness when it comes to our God-given assignments. How do we know this? Our assignments are connected to people and interacting with people should point them to Jesus. As you listen to today's episode, think about which fruit of the Spirit you need to focus on developing.

Highlights of this episode:
