How to Grow in Love — The First Fruit of the Spirit.

The Week Ahead: Spiritual Hope & Strength with Ken Robinson

Have you ever met someone whose kindness draws you in? The kind of person who makes you feel seen, valued, and safe — even on your worst day? That’s what love looks like when it’s alive and growing in someone’s heart.

In this week’s episode of The Week Ahead Podcast, Ken Robinson unpacks why love is the first fruit of the Spirit — and how it shapes everything else that follows. Love isn’t just an emotion or a warm feeling; it’s a daily choice, powered by God’s Spirit within us.

You’ll hear about:

• Why love comes first on Paul’s list of spiritual fruit
• What real love looks like in ordinary Aussie life
• How to love when people make it hard
• Simple ways to grow love that lasts

Ken reminds us that love isn’t something we have to force. It’s something that grows naturally when we stay close to Jesus — like fruit on a healthy tree. And when we let His love flow through us, it changes our homes, our workplaces, and even the way we see people.

Whether you’re trying to mend a strained relationship, show patience under pressure, or just be a bit kinder this week, this episode will encourage you to start with love — and let everything else grow from there.

Take a few minutes, grab a cuppa, and be reminded that you are deeply loved — and made to love others.
