About this episode
This episode discusses the purpose of self-control in the Christian faith and how it serves to glorify God.
Self-control is more than discipline for its own sake. It is control with a purpose — to glorify God. Listen as we think about what makes Christian self-control unique, and how we should ask God's Spirit to produce it in us. Support the show A production of The Sword and Trumpet Ministries.
