We leave church on Sunday ready to walk in the fruit of the Spirit—but by midweek, our patience, peace, or joy might be hanging by a thread.
Fruits and Flaws is a podcast for women who love God, laugh at themselves, and want to grow in grace through real-life challenges.
Each month, we focus on one fruit of the Spirit and explore what it actually looks like to live it out—in our homes, our relationships, our work, and even in the way we care for ourselves.
Through honest conversations with sisters in Christ, we talk about spiritual growth, healthy rhythms, and practical steps that help us stay grounded in the Spirit—even when life gets messy, or when we're the ones making the mess.
Because we're all growing—one fruit (and one flaw) at a time.
In this episode, join Suzanne as she discusses a major flaw in her life and an introdution to the fruit of the Spirit, peace.

In this short solo episode, I reflect on where we’ve been, what’s ahead, and why sometimes a pause is exactly what we need. I’ll see you in October as we, God willing, begin our conversations about peace. 🌻

Episode 3-Mercy for the Messy!
Let's be honest: showing love through mercy is easy until people start acting like people. In this episode, Beverly and I unpack Colossians 3:12-14 and talk about what tenderhearted mercy looks like in real life, why it's so challenging, and how the Holy Spirit helps us extend grace when we'd rather react.

What does love look like in the middle of everyday family life? In this episode, June shares how parenting has taught her some of life's most important lessons about love, patience, and dependence on God.

If you've ever found yourself praying, "Holy Spirit, please help," this conversation is for you.

Episode 1: Love is a Verb: Choosing it When It's Hard
What happens when showing love isn't always easy? In this episode, Anna and I talk about how it can sometimes be challenging to react to things in love and we explore why biblical love is often a choice rather than an emotion. We also touch on how the Holy Spirit can help us respond with grace when faced with a challenge. Our takeaway tool for the week is simple, but powerful: pause before reacting and ask yourself, "Is what I'm about to say or do Holy Spirit approved?"
