Overview
Cultivate invites you to experience real spiritual transformation—not by trying harder, but by allowing God, the Master Gardener, to do his renewing work in you.
When God planted the garden of Eden, his cultivating work had only just begun. That same work continues today as he grows the fruit of his Spirit—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control—in the soil of our lives. God’s purpose is not just right beliefs or good deeds, but a whole-life restoration into who we were created to be.
Out of his own experience with challenge and renewal, Dr. Richard Kannwischer, pastor of Peachtree Church in Atlanta, discovered a hopeful truth: real change is possible, even in the hardest seasons. With vivid biblical imagery and practical wisdom, he guides readers into the slow, steady, life-giving process of cultivation.
Each chapter explores one aspect of the Spirit’s fruit, not as a checklist to achieve, but as the natural outgrowth of a life rooted in God’s love. Along the way, you’ll find prayers, journaling prompts, and simple spiritual practices to help clear away distractions and create space for God’s renewing work.
Whether read alone or with a group, Cultivate offers encouragement, clarity, and a clear path forward—toward deeper faith, lasting change, and a flourishing life even in difficult seasons.
