Gentleness can feel out of reach when emotions run high—when you're overwhelmed, stretched thin, or caught in a moment of frustration. But what if those moments are actually invitations? Invitations to pause, surrender, and let the Holy Spirit do a deeper work within us?

In this honest and heartfelt episode, Nicki Doan opens up about how God has been shaping her through everyday family moments—where choosing gentleness wasn’t easy, but deeply needed. With transparency and grace, Nicki shares how learning to slow down and make space for the Spirit has begun to grow the fruit of gentleness in her life, even in the heat of conflict or stress.

Whether you're navigating motherhood, marriage, or any relationship where patience is tested, this conversation is a reminder that gentleness isn’t something we muster on our own—it’s fruit the Spirit produces when we yield to His presence.

Come be encouraged as we talk about what it means to choose gentleness, to trust the Spirit’s work in us, and to reflect the heart of Christ even when it's hard.
