Religious Growth

The apostle Paul paints a beautiful picture when he describes the fruit of the Spirit but all too often, we reduce this list of virtues into a checklist of attributes to pursue and strive for. However, pastor and author Eugenia Gamble contends that this understanding is backwards. By tending that relationship, the virtues of God develop and blossom as a fruit grows on a well-tended tree. Tending the Wild Garden explores the true meaning behind each of the virtues in Paul's list, guiding us to discover anew what it means to be a deeply loved child of God indwelt by God's Spirit.

When Apostle Justin Garner Jr. was seventeen, God showed him something that changed his life forever. One evening at his father's church, he experienced an out-of-body event that took him to the streets of heaven itself. "What I can tell you is that I saw, felt, and smelled everything--this was no dream or vision--I was there," Justin says in his revelation. After this experience, God began to teach him how to use the spiritual gift of sight that he has been blessed with all his life.
