## Resource

Kindness is more than being nice—and it’s definitely not weakness. In this episode of our Fruit of the Spirit series, we’re diving into what biblical kindness really looks like and how the kindness of God should transform the way we treat the people around us. We talk about the difference between kindness and people-pleasing, why kindness sometimes requires telling the truth, how to respond when people are difficult to love, and why the people closest to us should experience our kindness too. We also unpack how Jesus modeled kindness without compromising truth or boundaries—and how small, intentional acts of kindness can have a much bigger impact than we realize. If you want to become more like Jesus in the way you speak, respond, love, and serve others, this episode is for you. In this episode, we talk about: What biblical kindness actually means Why God’s kindness is the foundation for our kindness The difference between being kind and being “nice” Showing kindness when it’s inconvenient or undeserved How our words and tone can reflect Jesus Why kindness doesn’t mean having no boundaries Being kind without expecting anything in return Practical ways to intentionally choose kindness every day Key Scriptures: Galatians 5:22–23, Romans 2:4, Ephesians 4:32, Colossians 3:12, Luke 6:35, Proverbs 31:26 PREORDER MY NEW DEVOTIONAL - The Abiding Way, Out 10.27.26!!
