    Consider your Ways: Priorities (Ep 1)

    In this first episode of our mini-series Consider Your Ways, Josh Kaye & Iain Jamieson dive into Haggai chapter 1, a short but powerful passage where God confronts His people about their priorities. While they focused on building comfortable homes for themselves, the temple lay in ruins. Their response? “The time has not yet come…” A familiar phrase that often hides procrastination. This conversation looks at:•⁠  ⁠Why procrastination is often a spiritual issue, not just a productivity problem•⁠  ⁠What happens when we put personal comfort ahead of God’s purposes•⁠  ⁠How misplaced priorities can lead to dissatisfaction•⁠  ⁠The powerful moment when the people finally respond and begin the workJoin us for a challenging conversation, as we respond to God’s call to consider our ways.

    The Fruit of the Spirit: Selfward Fruit (Ep 4)

    How does the Spirit reshape our inner lives and lead us into true freedom? In the final episode, Joel and David reflect on the selfward fruit of faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. They discuss what we really mean by “selfward” why faithfulness is so foundational, and how gentleness can display both strength and humility. The conversation also tackles the importance of self-control in the Christian walk, the difference between Spirit-led self-control and sheer willpower, and why this fruit leads not to restriction, but to genuine freedom.

  6. The Fruit of the Spirit: Overview (Ep 1)

    JAN 28

    The Fruit of the Spirit: Overview (Ep 1)

    What did Paul really mean by “the fruit of the Spirit,” and why does it matter for everyday Christian life? In this opening episode, Joel Lacey and David Montgomery set the scene for Paul’s teaching on the fruit of the Spirit in Galatians 5. They explore the contrast between the works of the flesh and the Spirit’s fruit, why Paul uses the imagery of fruit, and why he speaks of one unified “fruit” rather than many separate virtues. Along the way, they tackle the difference between good morals and genuine spiritual fruit, the balance between the Spirit’s power and our responsibility, and why all of this ultimately reflects the character of the Lord Jesus Himself.
