Free for the Fruit
Free for the Fruit is a podcast about how to live in the fullness of the Fruits of the Holy Spirit. All Christians are given the gift of the Holy Spirit in their baptism and should expect to see the fruits of His presence in their lives, but many don't. Why is that? Many Christians, without knowing it, will put up roadblocks to experiencing the Fruits of the Holy Spirit by edging God out, coming into agreement with lies, and relying on themselves. In this podcast we sort out those habits and beliefs we have developed that keep us from experiencing the presence of the Holy Spirit and instead craft lives that leave us Free for the Fruit.
