Discovering the Fruit of the Spirit
Discovering the Fruit of the Spirit
A Creative Bible Study for Women Who Are Done Striving and Ready to Abide
What if transformation wasn't about trying harder—but surrendering deeper?
For years, you've worked to be more patient, more joyful, more loving. You've read the books, attended the studies, and prayed for change. But at the end of the day, you still feel like you're falling short.
Here's the truth that changes everything: The fruit of the Spirit isn't something you produce—it's what God produces in you when you stay close to Him.
This isn't another program to perfect yourself. It's an invitation to abide.
Create as You Grow
Your Treasure Journal Keepsake
Each lesson invites you to create a page in a beautiful treasure journal: a 20-page keepsake you'll cherish for years to come. This is completely optional, but if you enjoy creative expression, you'll craft a visual testimony of God's transforming work in your life.
What You'll Create
Across 20 beautifully crafted pages, you'll document:
- Each fruit of the Spirit paired with symbolic imagery (apples for patience, figs for love, etc.)
- Key Scriptures and personal reflections
- Visual elements like layered papers, hand-lettering, and decorative accents
- Plant, Root, Grow, Harvest themes that mirror spiritual formation
The example shown explores Patience through apple orchard imagery, vintage papers, and meaningful phrases woven throughout the design.
Your Forever Keepsake
By the end, you'll have a complete treasure journal that:
- Tells your transformation story through the fruit of the Spirit
- Serves as a visual prayer journal to revisit during any season
- Becomes a testimony to share with others
- Reminds you of God's faithfulness for years to come
No Art Experience Required
I provide printable page kits, step-by-step guidance, and permission to make it your own—messy is beautiful! Whether you're a crafter or a complete beginner, this creative practice helps you slow down, engage your senses, and experience worship through making something beautiful for Him.
Your choice, your pace. Journal creatively or simply reflect in writing—the goal is a transformed heart, not a perfect page.
A Study Born from 50+ Years of Walking with God
I'm Robin Sampson McCarthy, and I spent over 30 years trying to cultivate the fruit of the Spirit through my own effort. I studied, prayed, and served—yet often ended each day feeling defeated.
The breakthrough came when I stopped striving and started surrendering. When I learned to listen for God's voice in the everyday moments, to let Him prune what needed to go, and to trust His timing in the growing seasons.
For more than three decades now, I've helped hundreds of women uncover the beauty of God's Word through creative Bible journaling and in-depth study. I've witnessed transformation—not because they tried harder, but because they learned to abide deeper.
One student's words capture it perfectly: "I always thought the fruit of the Spirit was something I had to produce. Now I see—it's what God produces in me when I stay close to Him."
That's the heartbeat of this study.
