Your child is talking to you.

Your phone dings.

And almost without thinking, you reach for it.

It seems like such a small moment—but what if that’s exactly where self-control begins?

In this episode of the GOD Says So™ Podcast, we’re finishing our Fruit of the Spirit series with self-control and looking at Proverbs 25:28 (NLT):

“A person without self-control is like a city with broken-down walls.”

Self-control isn’t simply about having more discipline, stronger willpower, or trying harder.

It’s about allowing the Holy Spirit to work in us so that every impulse or reaction doesn’t automatically get to decide what we do next.

In this episode, we’ll talk about:

• What Proverbs 25:28 teaches us about self-control
• Why self-control is more than willpower
• How the Holy Spirit helps us pause before we react
• What self-control can look like in very ordinary moments
• Why our children don’t need a perfect mom—they need to see a mom who is following Jesus and growing
• One simple prayer to use when you want to react immediately
