Self-control as a fruit of the spirit with Scott Beyer and Luther Pratt

Jul 02, 2023 • S01 E161 • 01:05:41

Are you ready to unlock the transformative power of self-control? Today, we're embarking on a journey with our esteemed guests, Scott Beyer and Luther Pratt, as we unearth the profound connections between self-control, joy, and happiness. Hear firsthand from Luther as he shares an inspiring tale of redemption from addiction, testifying to the divine intervention and the might of self-control.

We'll also be exploring the critical role self-control plays in cultivating healthy relationships, making good life choices, and maintaining accountability. In a world that often demands instant gratification, we’ll discuss how commitment is instrumental in fostering self-control in our lives, using real-life examples from parenting and an evocative account from Luther about overcoming addiction. And as we delve into the stories of King Saul and David, we unravel how their divergent paths underscore the significance of self-control in navigating life's challenges.

However, self-control isn't without its pitfalls. Drawing lessons from the lives of Nelson Mandela and Joseph, we'll examine how self-control, when wielded without humility can lead to self-righteousness. We'll reshuffle the narrative to emphasize the importance of pairing self-control with grace, love, and mercy. As we wrap up our enlightening discussion, listen as Scott and Luther share their personal insights and experiences with self-control, and how it can serve as a tool for joy and happiness. So, join us as we navigate the path of self-control, and explore how it can enrich our lives.
