Description

Have you ever stopped to consider how self-control—or the lack of it—shapes your life?

In this episode, we take a practical, biblical look at self-control and why it matters for your relationships, health, and happiness. Together, we’ll explore how the Holy Spirit helps us cultivate this often-overlooked fruit and how it guides us away from impulsive choices that can lead to regret. I’ll share real-life examples and simple strategies to help you identify triggers, plan ahead, and replace unhelpful habits with more effective ones. 

Whether it’s with your words, emotions, or daily decisions, this conversation will help you grow in spiritual maturity, experience greater peace, and live with purpose and freedom in Christ.

Xo,

Donna
