The Flesh is a Mess: Works of the Flesh
The War Between Flesh and Spirit: A Battle for the Soul
In this episode, Shirah Chante addresses the ongoing struggle between the flesh and the spirit and how it impacts our lives. Beginning with a poem she wrote titled The Flesh is a Mess, Shirah Chante explores how these two forces vie for control over your soul. I discuss how the works of the flesh, as listed in Galatians 5:19-21, lead you away from God's kingdom, while the fruits of the spirit guide you towards eternal life through Jesus Christ. Shirah Chante shares personal experiences, touches on societal issues, and offers a plea for forgiveness and guidance. We end by introducing the Relationship Rescue Plan to help listeners make spirit-led decisions. Tune in next week as we delve into the fruits of the spirit.
