Eric Bryant shares insights from his book Fruitful: Becoming Who God Created You to Be.

Jesus revealed a new way of looking at life, a new way of organizing the future. God’s design for our lives is that we would be productive, generative, and creative.

Jesus described four types of soils representing four types of people. Some are like a path, some are like a shallow and rocky soil, some are like soil growing thorns, and some are like a soil that produces much fruit.

Jesus’ parable points out that we struggle to become who we were created to be when we have a hardened heart, a shallow faith, or are easily distracted. If we can avoid these pitfalls, we will be fruitful.

Four Characteristics To Become Fruitful:

Receptivity

Tenacity

Intentionality

Proactivity
