30. Self-Control According to Dallas Willard | John Ortberg

What is self-control? Is it trying through blood, sweat, and tears to make ourselves miserable? Maybe not. Maybe, a miserable life of constant resistance isn’t a God shaped life. The Apostle Paul calls self-control the final fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5), not because it’s least important, but perhaps because (maybe) it takes the longest to grow. At its core, self-control is about spiritual renovation.
