Tim and Matt weathered some storms recently (both literally and figuratively) and had a testing of peace and patience, which is great because that is the topic for this episode. Since believers are supposed to strive for all of the fruit of the Spirit, there needs to be a recognition that this must first take place in the heart. There will not be peace with others if there is no peace with God, and there will be no patience with others if there is no patience with God. Set in your heart to follow and obey Christ for your good, for family's good, and His glory.

The Bible talks a lot about love and joy. The love of God is shown through His mercy and grace, and joy is the outcome of His salvation and deliverance. In this episode, Matt and Tim talk about how Christian parents are not called to "normal" parenting but that of different, holy parenting. Living without God's love leads to the inability to experience true joy and satisfaction. In a culture of exploring new ways to fulfill your desires, the Bible calls for believers to stand on the truth of who God is and what He calls us to do.

For the next few episodes, Matt and Tim are going to be discussing the fruit of the Spirit and how it pertains to parenting. Before that happens, though, some initial thoughts to the preceding verses need to be made. The works of the flesh, as Paul calls them, are centered around self-gratification and self-idolatry. These cannot co-exist with the fruit of the Spirit and will not help parents establish a biblical foundation in their homes. Listen to what parents need to know about the antithesis before the discussion of the main topic.
