Fruitful Faith
from Connect Church Longview Podcast Hosted by Connect Church Longview
Send us Fan Mail If your life is producing fruit you don’t like, the problem might not be your circumstances. It might be your seed. We get honest about the gap between public church behavior and private devotion, and we challenge the idea that faith is real if it never turns into action when nobody is watching. We walk through Genesis 1:11–12 and the “growth law” God built into creation: every seed reproduces after its own kind. That principle applies straight to spiritual growth, Christian discipleship, and the habits we keep feeding. Anger multiplies anger. Complaining multiplies complaining. Lust, jealousy, and old wounds don’t stay small when they’re watered. We also talk about the modern “feed” and why what you scroll becomes what you crave, and eventually what you speak and live. Then we zoom out to what our fruit communicates to the world. John 15:16 reminds us God chooses us and appoints us to produce lasting fruit, and Matthew 7 makes it plain that a tree is known by what it bears. People who can’t see God will often decide what they think about Him by watching us, which is why the fruit of the Spirit (love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control) is not optional. If your soil needs a reset, we also talk about “scorching the earth” and letting God rebuild from ashes through repentance and surrender. If this challenges you, share it with a friend, subscribe for more, and leave a review. What fruit are you asking God to grow in you next? Ending Support the show
