reckless indulgence

In a world of immediate gratification and instant results, self-control seems like such a foreign concept. Yet, the power of God works in our lives to bring self-control. So how do we get there? How do we deny the reckless indulgence of the world around us, and reflect God's selfless and others-focussed attitude? Aimee and Jo talk to Jonquil Burn, Riverlife's LifeCentre Co-ordinator, about how to anchor our lives in the power of God to let self-control bear its fruit.

Connecting the fruit of the Spirit in Galatians 5 with Jay Kim's book "Analogue Christian", Jo Leutton and Aimee Cowan journey through each of the Fruit of the Spirit, talking with people who live out these fruit in their everyday lives and ministries. You'll hear from people from all walks of life sharing their successes and challenges as they seek to live in step with the Spirit in all that they do. Join us for this journey!

"What I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do" (Romans 7:15). Reckless indulgence. It's a battle we all fight. Do we just need more willpower or is there something more? This week, Jay Kim returns to talk about cultivating self-control instead of reckless indulgence and provides some practical tools for doing this work.

Jay Kim is the lead pastor of Westgate Church in Silicon Valley and the author of the IVP titles Analog Christian and Analog Church.
