Where Does Identity Come From?

In this episode, we are grappling with the question of where our identity comes from. Where should we look? What does it mean to have identity in Christ? So we are children of God, what does that look like, and how do we tell what of us should die and what is truly who we are as individuals?

Can Satan Use Fruits of the Spirit?

In this episode of the Ever Wonder Why podcast, Jesus and Matt tackle a fascinating and often-overlooked question: Can Satan use the fruits of the Spirit? Can he imitate patience, kindness, or love—or are these traits reserved only for those walking in the Spirit of God? Together we explore: * What it means to live “in the flesh” versus “in the Spirit” (Galatians 5:16–26) * The difference between works of the flesh and fruits of the Spirit * How to discern if the Spirit is truly active in your life * What genuine spiritual growth and walking in God’s will looks likeWhy discernment is vital in a world where even goodness can be counterfeited This episode challenges you to examine your heart, test your motives, and seek a deeper walk with God—where the fruit in your life reflects the power of His Spirit, not human imitation. 🔔 Don't forget to like, subscribe, and hit the notification bell so you never miss an episode!
