Who are you listening to? Meet Mary Aldrich
In this episode, discover a little about who I am, some about my family and our life. Find out the purpose of this podcast and what this fruit is all about.
Galatians 5:22-23 Tells us the fruit of the spirit includes love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
How often do we long for these particular qualities to be more evident in our lives and in the lives of those we love? Yet, how often do we truly spend cultivating these into our lives in practical ways?
This episode will explain a little about how my journey as an overwhelmed mom led to a desire to focus whole-heartedly on learning practical ways to cultivate these fruits into my own life and hopefully inspire you with new ways to cultivate them in your life as well.
