This week’s conversation on self-control with Somer Phoebus got real, real fast… because well… it was what is rarely said but needed to be said. Biblical self-control is often reduced to be similar to willpower, but in reality, the attitudes and actions of the two are completely different.

Members, the full class is up in the member group and the member portal, but if you can’t watch immediately and still want to dig into this, read through Galatians 5:19-23.

So often, we skip straight to the fruits of the Spirit and in doing so, we skip over the works of the flesh. These verses bring incredible clarity in how to see the difference between living in the flesh vs. living by the Spirit.

Just look:

works of the flesh:

sexual immorality
impurity
sensuality
idolatry
sorcery
enmity
strife
jealousy
fits of anger
rivalries
dissensions
divisions
envy
drunkenness
orgies

fruits of the Spirit:

love
joy
peace
patience
kindness
goodness
faithfulness
gentleness
self-control
