The Fruitful Life

Before modern technology, you waited all year for the few short weeks when your favorite fruits and vegetables were finally “in season.” And when the harvest ended, the fields would go dormant until the next fruitful season returned. We’re often tempted to think about human life the same way, but Scripture paints a different picture. Human lives are designed by God to be fruitful in every season. In this series, we’ll explore the unique calling of each stage of life—from childhood through our final days—and celebrate the distinct gifts every generation brings into the family of God.

Winter is the season when the landscape is stripped back to reveal the true silhouette of a life. But what is natural and godly can often feel uncomfortable and dehumanizing. How can a season of constant losses be productive, even fruitful?

Fall

Jul 17, 2026

Fall is the season of transition, where the heat of building begins to cool, and the colors of a life’s work are fully revealed. In human lives, this is the season of "harvesting" influence and perspective.

But what does it look like to lean into the beauty of the harvest without fear or regret?

To many, summer seems like the apex of living, which means we go full speed ahead and imagine it’ll never end. But what would it mean to live “summer,” not only to the fullest, but to its wisest, being prepared to graciously exit it better than you when you entered it?

Late Spring

Jul 5, 2026

By late spring, the world feels alive. Everything is growing fast, strong, showy, and vibrant. In humans, this is the season when roots deepen and our destinies begin taking shape. But what happens when fear and control dominate what’s growing? Or when it’s neglected to fight for itself?

Early Spring

Jun 28, 2026

Early spring is full of possibility. Tiny shoots push up from the ground, but it’s still too early to tell exactly what each one will become. Children are like that—full of possibility. With all the possibilities, overwhelm is inevitable. Yet, are there consequences when we steer our children into who we’d like them to be, or tell them they “can be whatever they want to be?”
