Episode 11: Featuring guest Naomi Schmidt

Faith isn’t always loud. Sometimes, it looks like quiet perseverance or restraint when no one else seems to notice. In this episode, we talk with Bible study author Naomi Schmidt about two fruits of the Spirit that often go unnoticed: faithfulness and self-control.

We’ll explore In God’s Orchard: Cultivating the Fruit of a Spirit-Filled Life, a women’s Bible study book built around the Spirit’s work in everyday believers. Naomi, one of the contributors, shares how these quieter virtues take shape in ordinary life—and why they matter deeply in our spiritual life.

Whether you’re facing challenges or simply seeking to grow in your faith, this conversation offers gospel-centered encouragement and a reminder that the Holy Spirit is always at work—quietly, steadily, and through the Word.

Thank you.
The reminder of the lies the devil placed in us to not allow the fruits to work and grow in us is extremely helpful.
Pause, reflect, and grow from the Scriptures that speak to us daily. Two days two years. Work, but exercise daily, and one sees God’s love and work before us.
Recommend to listen through the end!

  Thank you Jill for listening and for sharing this encouraging reflection. You’re right—Satan works hard to keep us from growing in the Spirit, but God’s Word is powerful. That daily return to Scripture is where the Spirit does his faithful work. We’re so glad the episode was a blessing!
