Fruits and Flaws Podcast Mon, 08 Jun 2026 06:05:16 -0400 en-us © 2026 Fruits and Flaws Podcast yes ddade33a-ae85-59d1-bd36-15b417d2bb00 S.L. Garcia episodic false We leave church on Sunday ready to walk in the fruit of the Spirit—but by midweek, our patience, peace, or joy might be hanging by a thread.

Fruits and Flaws is a podcast for women who love God, laugh at themselves, and want to grow in grace through real-life challenges.

Each month, we focus on one fruit of the Spirit and explore what it actually looks like to live it out—in our homes, our relationships, our work, and even in the way we care for ourselves.

Through honest conversations with sisters in Christ, we talk about spiritual growth, healthy rhythms, and practical steps that help us stay grounded in the Spirit—even when life gets messy, or when we're the ones making the mess. 


Because we're all growing—one fruit (and one flaw) at a time.

In this episode, Anna and I talk about how it can sometimes be challenging to react to things in love and we explore why biblical love is often a choice rather than an emotion. 

We also touch on how the Holy Spirit can help us respond with grace when faced with a challenge. 

Our takeaway tool for the week is simple, but powerful: pause before reacting and ask yourself, "Is what I'm about to say or do Holy Spirit approved?"
