In this powerful message from RENOWN on September 23, 2026, John Strappazon dives into what it truly means to cultivate the Fruit of the Spirit in our daily lives—specifically, patience.
Reflecting on his own transformation from an angry background to walking with Christ, John breaks down practical ways to manage our emotions, build character, and reflect God's grace in everyday moments.
In this episode, you’ll hear about:
The "Pause Button": Why taking a brief breath to pray and assess a situation before reacting can save your relationships.
Managing Your Emotional Capital: How to establish an "emotional cost system" so you stop spending $10 worth of anger on a 10-cent problem.
Progress Over Perfection: Embracing spiritual growth as a process that takes time to ripen, rather than expecting instant perfection.
Practical "Street Smarts": Real-world advice on responding instead of reacting, correcting others privately with care, and refusing to play the "policeman" in everyone else’s lives.
Key Scripture References:Matthew 13 | 2 Corinthians 5:17 | Galatians 5:22 | 2 Peter 3:9 | 1 Timothy 1:16 | Ephesians 4:2 | James 1:19–20 | Proverbs 19:11
