“You will know them by their fruits.”
— Matthew 7:15–16 NASB1995
🎭 When Looks Deceive
It’s easy to trust influencers, leaders, even pastors—because they sound good, quote Scripture, or seem sincere. But Jesus says: check the fruit.
Fruit is how they treat people. How they handle sin. Whether they glorify themselves—or God. Don’t be fooled by sheep’s clothing. Look deeper.
🔎 Real Talk:
- Who do you listen to online or at church?
- Are their lives marked by Christ or just catchy words?
🙏 Prayer:
God, help me pay attention to the fruit, not just the show. Teach me to discern truth from lies. Amen.

I’m a follower of Christ, learning daily to walk the narrow path laid out in His Word. Through Rooted & Raised: Anchoring Women & Children in Christ, I simply seek to point others back to Scripture, tested by the Holy Spirit, lived out in faith, and anchored in truth.
● This space isn’t about lofty theology or grand platforms. It’s about humble obedience, Kingdom living, and helping others, especially women and families, rediscover the kind of faith that bears fruit, costs something, and reflects the love of Christ. My heart is to encourage others as I learn, grow, and surrender alongside them.
