293. The Fruit Test: Discerning True Spiritual Growth in Men of Faith

How do you know if someone has real spiritual fruit in their life? In this episode of The Impossible Life Podcast, Garrett Unclebach and Nick Surface break down how to discern biblical fruit through a spiritual lens — and why this matters so much for men of faith, Christian men, and anyone pursuing God’s purpose.Jesus said, “You will know them by their fruit.” But what does that actually mean in real life? This conversation explores how to recognize the difference between true, Holy Spirit-produced fruit and the fake fruit people often mistake for spiritual maturity — things like image, wealth, influence, social media presence, appearance, or hype.Garrett and Nick walk through the biblical definition of fruit from Galatians 5, showing that real fruit comes from the Holy Spirit and is revealed through consistent love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. They also explain why faith and transformation in Christ allow you to recognize that same fruit in others.In this episode, you’ll learn:What biblical fruit actually isWhy false fruit is easy to mistake for the real thingHow social media, wealth, appearance, and status can mislead Christian menWhy words and behavior reveal what is really in a person’s heartHow relational fruit shows up in marriage, family, and close relationshipsWhy discipleship and multiplication are some of the clearest signs of mature faith and purposeHow men of faith can use discernment to choose mentors, leaders, and examples worth followingThis episode is a practical guide for Christian men who want to live with deeper faith, walk in greater purpose, and learn how to recognize the difference between appearance and authenticity.Because real fruit doesn’t just look good from a distance.
