Righteousness can sound like one of those big church words, but it is actually simple and powerful. In this episode of the Fruit Talk Series, we are talking about what it really means to be righteous, why it is not something you hustle for or earn, and how it is a gift you receive through Christ.

From Adam and Eve in the garden, to the Ten Commandments, to the priests making sacrifices, we trace how God has always pointed to His ultimate plan—Jesus making us the righteousness of God in Him.

We will look at scriptures from Paul that show us righteousness is not about striving but about living free, set apart, and confident in who God says we are. So the next time guilt or lies creep in, you can boldly say, “I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.”

Join me for this conversation that will leave you lighter, freer, and more assured of your identity in Christ.

In this episode, we're diving into something subtle but powerful: what we consume daily and how it shapes us.

It's not just about what’s on our plates, but what we feed our hearts and minds: the shows we binge, the music we vibe to, the content we scroll past, and even the conversations we entertain.

As believers, we’re called to guard our gates: our eyes, ears, and hearts with wisdom and intention.

Join me as we unpack what it means to be spiritually alert in a culture overflowing with noise, and how we can honor God with our consumption choices, one reel, one scroll, one conversation at a time.
