Feeding the Spirit: Navigating Family Life with Spiritual Strength
Are you feeding your spirit or your flesh? In this episode of the Family Life Podcast, we tackle the daily spiritual battles that come with managing family life and multiple church ministries. Frank leads us through his demanding schedule, especially as the new school year looms, and together we reflect on our previous discussion about the subtle and not-so-subtle attacks on the family by Satan. You’ll also hear about our Homefront video series and all the ways you can connect with us on social media.
Have you ever wondered how to measure your spiritual walk? We use a fascinating analogy of finding the density of elements to help us understand the concept of spiritual calibration. By comparing our consistency in displaying the fruits of the Spirit to a well-calibrated scale, we emphasize the importance of realigning ourselves with the gospel, especially in challenging environments like Frank's construction field. We dive into Galatians 5:17, discussing the inherent conflict between the flesh and the Spirit, and share personal stories that affirm the reliability of the Bible. Our conversation guides you on how to feed the spirit over the flesh, highlighting the need for daily commitment and obedience.
Could your family be missing out on joy, peace, and long-suffering? Frank and I explore the fruits of the Spirit, starting with love—examining its various Greek definitions and how it manifests in different relationships, especially in marriage. From there, we discuss maintaining joy and peace in both family and workplace settings, and the significance of long-suffering in the Christian journey. Through personal anecdotes and practical advice, we underscore the importance of embodying virtues like kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Join us as we wrap up with heartfelt appreciation for our listeners and a promise to bring more enriching discussions in future episodes.
