Self-Control: Governed by the Spirit #selfcontrol #podcast #talkshow #fruitsofthespirit

Did you set any goals this year? March is when many of us start to drift from the plans we made just a couple of months ago. Maybe you vowed to exercise more, cut back on screen time, or keep your temper in check—but now those commitments feel harder to stick to. Tonight on the podcast, we’re talking about self-control. It’s that quiet inner strength that helps us say no when everything in us wants to say yes. It’s the power to choose what’s best over what’s easy or comfortable—and let’s be real, we all wish we had more of it. But self-control is hard. Really hard. Even the Apostle Paul admitted his struggle, saying, "I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do, I do not do, but what I hate, I do" (Romans 7:15). If he wrestled with self-control, we can give ourselves some grace too. In this episode, we’ll explore: ✅ Why self-control is so challenging in today’s culture of indulgence. ✅ How stress, fatigue, and comparison weaken our self-mastery. ✅ The role of the Holy Spirit in helping us walk in self-control. ✅ Practical ways to partner with God daily to grow in this fruit of the Spirit. Self-control isn’t about willpower—it’s about staying close to God. When we walk by the Spirit, we’re empowered to choose freedom over bondage, purpose over distraction, and the life God wants for us over fleeting gratification. I hope you’ll tune in and be encouraged to invite the Holy Spirit into this journey—because with Him, self-control is possible. Catch the episode tonight, and let’s grow together.
