I have fruitful conversation with Pastor of Believe Church Global, Andrew Kubala. Andrew has been in ministry for over 30 years as a healing evangelist and has witnessed first hand the miracles of God. Speaking honestly about how to grow the fruit of Self- Control, Andrew opens up and shares the first step is humility. Travelling the world for many years, Andrew realised he'd become swept up in the grandeur of greens rooms and admits he lost himself. Then suddenly COVID lockdowns hit, which meant Andrew couldn't travel. Sitting at the beach, it was just him, a rock, and God. Andrew felt this wake up call was needed. Not only to help save him (again) but to save his ministry. "Give God the thing that's broken for Him to heal it." If you're struggling with growing the fruit of Self- Control, this episode is for you.

This episode is a fruitful conversation about how to grow the fruit of patience, with my good friend and publisher, Elizabeth Chapman. As a stay at home mum, writer of several books, and currently studying her Doctor of Professional Practice, Elizabeth has learned the hard way by trying to grow this fruit in her own strength. Apart from feeling exhausted from juggling the tasks of managing a home and caring for two small children, as well as study time, meant stolen moments were Elizabeth's only outlet with God. Comparing others 'highlight' reel on socials, Elizabeth felt she could never reach an impossible standard set by others. That was until she decided, if she was going to grow the fruit of patience and be a little kinder to her family (and herself), she needed to spend regular, purposeful time with God each day so she could draw on His reservoir of strength.

Pastor of Believe Church, Founder of Believe Ministries and Esther's Voice, Janine Kubala, shares in this episode how geniune kindness from a friend transformed and fortified her spirit to become a better leader and pastor. Now years later, this solid foundation has brought her something she now values and holds for others in her ministry. The strength found in choosing kindness has helped Janine to measure the fruit of the Spirit in someone's life rather than the gifts. If the fruit does not pass the "sniff test" then Janine questions if the person is truly representing God? Janine's wisdom and kindness will help you to not buy into the lie of allowing other people's behaviour or opinions inform your identity and how life experiences do not change our identity or the purpose God has for our lives.
