The Impossible Life 293. The Fruit Test: Discerning True Spiritual Growth in Men of Faith
30:09
How do you know if someone has real spiritual fruit in their life? In this episode of The Impossible Life Podcast, Garrett Unclebach and Nick Surface break down how to discern biblical fruit through a spiritual lens — and why this matters so much for men of faith, Christian men, and anyone pursuing God’s purpose.
Jesus said, “You will know them by their fruit.” But what does that actually mean in real life? This conversation explores how to recognize the difference between true, Holy Spirit-produced fruit and the fake fruit people often mistake for spiritual maturity — things like image, wealth, influence, social media presence, appearance, or hype.
Garrett and Nick walk through the biblical definition of fruit from Galatians 5, showing that real fruit comes from the Holy Spirit and is revealed through consistent love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. They also explain why faith and transformation in Christ allow you to recognize that same fruit in others.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
Because real fruit doesn’t just look good from a distance. It changes lives up close
