Ripened & Ready E8 - The Gentleness Fruit

In this podcast episode, Yemi and Philia discuss the eighth and penultimate attribute of the Fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23) which is Gentleness. Gentleness is the quality of being kind, tender, or mild-mannered. The act of gentleness is a strength and not a weakness. Gentleness is needed for all our relationships. It is a balm that can calm intense interactions. It is a balm to our soul and the souls of others through the application of grace (unmerited favor or goodwill). God loves us and exhibited gentleness towards us through the actions of Jesus Christ. Even with the gift of the Holy Spirit that dwells in us, oftentimes the communication is a gentle whisper which leads us and gives us direction. "And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, 'This is the way; walk ye in it'; when ye turn to the right hand and when ye turn to the left." (Isaiah 30:21 KJV)

Full of love and light, Philia is dedicated to loving all in need. Philia's giving heart ensures that her home is always full of those seeking shelter, warmth, healing and love, which she freely gives. Philia feels joy in diving deeper in her relationship with God and sharing her God given gifts, talents, and abilities with others. Her goal is to be a walking, living, breathing testimony of God's transformative power of love. The love of God shines brightly through Philia and anyone in her vicinity is drawn to that light.

Yemi - A native Brooklynite, Nigerian-American, Lawyer, Friend and Day One Christian. Yemi is a woman of passion and love for God. She takes time to understand life through the lens of her faith while finding most situations authored by God's comedy. Her desire to grow in faith came during her 2017-2018 episode of depression. She surrendered to God and felt peace in trusting in the Lord. God led her to start a live bible study and prayer call which flourished for two years with the help of her co-host Philia. Yemi desires to share her faith journey and struggles with everyone near and far. She relishes in the transformation and testimonies of others and her heart is most full when she is spreading love.
