ABOUT THE PODCAST

The Cultivating Fruit of the Spirit podcast was created out of a need for the practical application of Christian principles. Often times people read the Bible and ask, “How do I walk this out in everyday life?” Cultivating Fruit of the Spirit was designed to explore the Word, spark reflection, and give tangible takeaways for life application.

The Problem With a Lamp: A Lesson from Psalm 119 Cultivating Fruit of the Spirit with The Restored Orchard

In this episode, we're sitting in "Your word is a lamp for my feet and a light on my path." The psalmist isn't describing a floodlight. He's talking about a small clay oil lamp that fits in the palm of your hand, throwing light only a few feet ahead. That's the problem with a lamp: it doesn't illuminate the destination. It shows you the next place to put your foot. We'll unpack why so much of our frustration in the Christian life comes from wanting a floodlight when God has given us a lamp.We'll explore why borrowing someone else's light, meaning a devotional, a podcast, someone else's study, isn't a substitute for picking up the Word ourselves. Drawing from the Bereans in Acts who examined Scripture for themselves and 2 Timothy's call to rightly handle the word of truth, you'll be challenged to stop asking God for the whole map and start asking for the next step.The lamp is ours to pick up.Scripture: Psalm 119:105, Acts 17:11, 2 Timothy 2:15Follow along on Instagram, Facebook, Threads, and YouTube @TheRestoredOrchard and visit http://www.therestoredorchard.org for more resources.
