Episode 7: Abiding in Christ: Transforming Your Christian Walk

In this episode of the People Growth Discipleship Podcast, host Kendra Dublin discusses the importance of growing spiritually by developing the fruits of the Spirit as outlined in Galatians 5.   She elaborates on each fruit—love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control—emphasizing their roots in the Holy Spirit and their connection to Jesus and God. Kendra uses John 15 to illustrate the necessity of remaining connected to Christ to bear fruit and contrasts the fruits of the Spirit with the acts of the flesh.   She shares her personal testimony of overcoming alcoholism by remaining in Christ and encourages listeners to engage in prayer, meditation, Bible study, and fellowship to foster their spiritual growth and sanctification.   Key Topics 00:00 Introduction to People Growth Discipleship 00:27 Exploring the Fruits of the Spirit 02:46 The True Vine and Bearing Fruit 08:17 Acts of the Flesh vs. Fruits of the Spirit 10:28 Personal Testimony and Redemption 18:19 Remaining in God and Spiritual Practices 29:51 Conclusion and Call to Action   Resources for Church Leaders 1-Year Discipleship Funnel: https://www.kendradublin.com/funnel Pathway to Patience Book for Small Groups: https://www.kendradublin.com/patience   Resources for Individuals People Growth Discipleship Workbook: https://www.kendradublin.com/funnel Pathway to Patience Book: https://www.kendradublin.com/patience God’s Perspective for Me® Volume 1: https://www.amazon.com/Gods-Perspective-Me-Kendra-Dublin/dp/153952616X God’s Perspective for Me® Volume 2: https://www.amazon.com/Gods-Perspective-Me-Vol-2-ebook/dp/B079RFT4N7   Social Media Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@kendradublin/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kendradublin/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/iamkendradublin/   Guest Opportunity and Contact Information Want to be a guest on our next season?
