The Fruit of the Spirit, Episode 7: Is there anything more refreshing than someone you can always count on to keep their word—or get back to you if they can’t? Easily the most frustrating part of my 40-year career has been people who repeatedly make promises they don’t keep. When they tell me what they’re going to do, I just don’t believe them anymore. I don’t trust them. To be honest, I cringe inside. They’ve proven to be unreliable, undependable, untrustworthy—in a word, unfaithful. It’s an integrity issue. Sure, we forgive and extend them grace. But here’s the thing—do you want to be that guy? The guy who’s just a windbag? The guy people don’t believe because you’re a serial disappointer? Join me, Patrick Morley, and cement your place among those who will hear, “Well done, good and faithful servant.” --------------------- Find Bible study video series at http://mimbiblestudy.com Help us to continue this vital ministry by partnering with us: http://maninthemirror.org/give Learn more about Man in the Mirror at http://maninthemirror.org

The Fruit of the Spirit, Episode 6: In this week’s study of the fruit of the Spirit, we look at goodness. This is maybe the hardest quality to define from the list. Many people have many ideas of what is actually good. Before we can define goodness, we will first determine what and who is truly good. We must ask ourselves, does anything good come from us? Are my works pleasing to God? And do our good deeds matter for today? For eternity? Knowing God and knowing ourselves will help us answer these questions. And seeing the goodness of Christ and the indwelling work of His Spirit should be a source of gratitude not guilt for all believers. We hope you will join us, as this is sure to be a challenging and encouraging study! Scriptures used in this study: Galatians 5:16-23 --------------------- Find Bible study video series at http://mimbiblestudy.com Help us to continue this vital ministry by partnering with us: http://maninthemirror.org/give Learn more about Man in the Mirror at http://maninthemirror.org

Intimacy with God: Everything we do should flow from the overflow of our Savior, found in true, set-aside time with Him - scheduled, prioritized, but especially…yearned for! Do you have questions about your job? You’re a human made by God…He will of course have the answer. Do you have questions about your marriage? God holds all the cards. Maybe it’s how to improve as a provider, leader, father, or even how to move past a loss that hurts deeply. Running to the Father’s arms is the only true solution. Amidst the pressures of life, it can be so hard to truly run to Jesus - and learn to stay there. It seems that there is always a new challenge, a wound we aren’t fully healed from, or that somehow, we don’t think we need Him as much…until we desperately do. Our guest today, Connor Jones, went through a deep struggle that taught him the value of secret time with God. When he contracted Lyme disease, and other infections set-in…God was truly all he had time for. Being in bed 24/7 for years brought forth priceless intimacy with our Savior that he is eternally grateful for. --------------------- Find Bible study video series at http://mimbiblestudy.com Help us to continue this vital ministry by partnering with us: http://maninthemirror.org/give Learn more about Man in the Mirror at http://maninthemirror.org

The Fruit of the Spirit, Episode 5: Obviously, it’s kind if you help an elderly woman put groceries in her car. But is it kind to: let your child repeatedly skip their homework? say or not say anything to your spouse or girlfriend when they hurt you because you don’t want to rock the boat? terminate or carry a failing employee after repeatedly trying to help them succeed? give or not give money to intersection beggars? As you can see, kindness is so much more than just being nice. Join Patrick Morley and let’s recalibrate how we think about what kindness is and isn’t, take a deeper look into the kindness of God, and discuss ideas that can help us be more kind—whether we’re feeling it or not, and whether it’s deserved or not. --------------------- Find Bible study video series at http://mimbiblestudy.com Help us to continue this vital ministry by partnering with us: http://maninthemirror.org/give Learn more about Man in the Mirror at http://maninthemirror.org

The Fruit of the Spirit, Episode 4: Patience is a difficult virtue. It may require us to delay gratification or even to forgo resolution for the foreseeable future. Do you find yourself paying the price for hasty decisions? Or frustrated by unmet expectations: the promotion that hasn’t come, or the house that hasn’t sold? Patience is also a wonderful fruit of the Spirit. It leads to wisdom and contentment and is a key to a joyful and peaceful life. Join Brett Clemmer as we continue in our study of The Fruit of the Spirit. Share with a brother who needs more patience…and who doesn’t? We’re better together. --------------------- Find Bible study video series at http://mimbiblestudy.com Help us to continue this vital ministry by partnering with us: http://maninthemirror.org/give Learn more about Man in the Mirror at http://maninthemirror.org

The Fruit of the Spirit, Episode 3: You are worried about the future. Anxious. Afraid. Upset. And for good reason. If something doesn’t break your way—and soon—your world is going to fall apart. Or the storm has already hit and your world has fallen apart. You’re stressing about what comes next. How will it all play out? Maybe you’ve been striving to get what you don’t really need, and you’re angry and annoyed about it. Or worse yet, everything is going great, but you dread the future. You’re worried that it won’t last. You frequently find yourself waiting for the proverbial other shoe to drop. Join Patrick Morley and discover the simplicity of God’s plan for peace in all circumstances, and how the peace of God can be your normal experience. --------------------- Find Bible study video series at http://mimbiblestudy.com Help us to continue this vital ministry by partnering with us: http://maninthemirror.org/give Learn more about Man in the Mirror at http://maninthemirror.org

The Fruit of the Spirit, Episode 2: Common sense and our own experience tell us that it’s much harder to feel joy when you’re in pain—whether it’s a chronic or life-threatening illness, betrayal, a broken relationship, financial calamity, or an existential crisis. But God offers a transcendent joy that does not depend on our circumstances. That’s why Scripture can say outlandish things like, “Consider it pure joy when you face trials of many kinds;” why Paul “delighted” in his thorn; and why Jesus said, “Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete.” But isn’t this exactly the kind of pollyannish talk that makes non-believers smirk and sneer? And even if you are a believer, doesn’t it sound too good to be true? Join Patrick Morley to learn or be reminded how you can experience the transcendent joy of walking in the Spirit whether your own circumstances are normal, boring, exuberant, awful, or seemingly without hope. There’s always hope. --------------------- Find Bible study video series at http://mimbiblestudy.com Help us to continue this vital ministry by partnering with us: http://maninthemirror.org/give Learn more about Man in the Mirror at http://maninthemirror.org
