Devotion | Fruit Of The Spirit
Summary:
In this short bible devo, Chip dives into Galatians 5 with some thoughts about the fruit of the Spirit.
Galatians 5:16-25 // NASB 1995
16 But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh. 17 For the flesh sets its desire against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, so that you may not do the things that you please. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the Law. 19 Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: immorality, impurity, sensuality, 20 idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions, 21 envying, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, of which I forewarn you, just as I have forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. 24 Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit.

Brokenness w/ Pro-Life Speaker Steventhen Holland
Friday Feb 12, 2021
Friday Feb 12, 2021
Ep. 106 | Guest: Steventhen Holland
Summary:
When a 16-year-old Georgia boy found a mentally challenged, 9-month-pregnant runaway living in a box behind a convenience store, he brought her home and asked his parents if “we could keep her.” They tried, but she ran away – again. The first time she ran away was to escape a scheduled abortion – to save the child she knew she wanted, but had no ability to care for. That child was Steventhen Holland.
In this episode of Plain-Spoken Grace, Chip and Steventhen unpack the story of this and other heros in Steventhen’s life – the foster family who adopts him after a fierce legal battle; they and the community that help raise him; finding his biological uncle who eventually reconnects him with his birth mother.
