Habits of Harvest: Growing in Spiritual Maturity this Fall

Episode Summary

Ever notice how pumpkin spice lattes show up before the leaves even turn? Fall has a way of nudging us into new rhythms—school schedules, football season, even raking leaves. But what if we used this season as a reminder to cultivate rhythms that go deeper than pumpkin pie and holiday prep? In this episode, we explore how the changing seasons can point us to spiritual renewal. Just like farmers plant, tend, and prepare for harvest, Christians are called to sow habits that produce lasting fruit in Christ. So grab your Bible, a cozy blanket, and maybe a slice of pumpkin bread—because this fall might be the perfect time to reset your spiritual rhythms.
