Flesh manifests itself through relational conflict (Gal 5; Jas 4:1-2).

In this episode, we continue our book study with Chapter Two: The Flesh-Filled Home exploring the characteristics of homes that walk more by the flesh than by the Spirit, the nature of conflict, and the importance of emotional capacity. We call out three A's of immaturity—avoidance, anger, and addiction—and highlight the need for self-reflection, tiny habits, and seeking help along the journey of personal growth.

In today's episode, we cover such questions as...

🏕️ What are indicators of a flesh-filled home?

🏕️ Can I choose to have spiritual maturity or emotional capacity?

🏕️ What does it look like to grow capacity?

Whether you read along with a book buddy or gather with a group, we've got a DIY Book Club Kit for you (link below)!

Also, no worries if it's not great timing for you to spontaneously launch a whole book study. We get it. The goal of this series is to give you a free resource to return to when you're ready to pick up the book, but it's still the Father-Daughter conversation you've come to expect.

Thank you for joining us - father-daughter duo Marcus Warner and Stephanie Warner - on the trail to a deeper walk with God!

We are delighted to launch the year with a new book study, going chapter by chapter through The Spirit-Filled Home. Over the course of this series, we'll talk maturity development, spiritual warfare, walking in the Spirit, and more, all with a strategic flavoring of marriage and family.

(Fear not, for those of you who are walking the single road or for whom "marriage and family" may be complicated... I, Stephanie, am single, and I have thoughts about why this topic is still for you/us.)

In today's episode, we're covering such questions as...

🏕️ What is walking in the flesh vs. walking in the Spirit?

🏕️ How can we recognize when we are walking in the flesh?

🏕️ What's a tool we can use to cultivate a lifestyle of walking in the Spirit?

🏕️ How can all of this apply to our home life?

Seriously, friends, this book is underrated, and I’m so excited to offer a series you can use as a book study in the new year.

God loves you so very much, and He has a plan for your life and your relationship with Him that He has had in the works since the foundations of the world, when you were only a twinkle in His eye. Join us as we celebrate the remarkable Love of God.

On the podcast, we've been walking through the Abrahamic Covenant of Promise as a meditation on the four themes of Advent: Hope, Peace, Joy, and now Love.

On the fourth Sunday of Advent (Dec 21), we light all four candles. Christmas is almost here!! On Christmas Day, we encourage you to complete the Advent celebration with the lighting of the Christ Candle, which you can place at the center of your wreath.

Join us on the trail as we wrap up the Advent series with a look at the remarkable love of God and as we celebrate some 2025 highlights and pray for our community.

Grab your Bible and linger with us over the Binding of Isaac and the Message of Christmas (Gen 22) and meditate on the Gospel of Love given to us (Gal 3:8; Jn 15:13; Rom 8:32).

Finally, wow, what a robust year 2025 has been! Thank you to everyone who has been a part of the journey – from prayer partners, to financial partners, to volunteers and beyond! Thank you for prioritizing your heart and the hearts of those around you as you cultivate a deeper walk with God.

May you, being rooted and grounded in the love of Christ who dwells in you, be filled with all the fullness of God. (See Eph 3:14-20.)

Merry Christmas!
