"Wholeness shows up as integrity, a consistency between what we hear, what we believe, what we say, and what we do. And integrity doesn’t just take shape in individuals, it also takes shape within communities. A community formed by God’s wisdom becomes a living sign of God’s rule and reign, shaped by values that often differ from the surrounding world. That formation always moves outward. Love of God and love of neighbor are inseparable. The fruit the Spirit grows is not just private character traits. It shows up in how we treat people, how we share resources, how we speak, and how we live together. Endurance, over time, forms that kind of integrity, that kind of wholeness, in us."
