Purpose of the Fruits of the Spirit Videos
Our purpose is to give the older family members the knowledge and tools to pass along the information to their younger members in a way that engages them. Teaching young children about the Holy Spirit is important and the relationship a child develops with the Holy Spirit can bear amazing fruit in their lives. Therefore, we want to give you brief insights into the Fruits, and provide accompanying podcast-length discussions with each. To that end, each video is accompanied with links to an episode of On the Road to Perfection, Beth and Kristofer’s weekly podcast, where in each of the specific episodes they dive deeper into that particular fruit.

We are called to be perfect, as we discussed last week.
So, what does being on the road to perfection look like?
If Jesus was “finished” and his ministry was “completed,” as it means when He said, “It is done,” by saying, “It is perfected” just before He died on the Cross, He must have walked a road to perfection.
And so must we.
In this episode we discuss that concept, in terms of what we are doing and how we respond to the call for our life.
It’s a simple concept, and a difficult task, but we have the example of Our Lord which, from the proper perspective, is not an impossible example to follow and exemplify.
