Kindness is more than being polite or agreeable. It is a reflection of the heart.

In this episode of Living Out 180, Kendall and Pastor Brad continue the Fruit of the Spirit series by exploring the biblical meaning of kindness. The Greek word chrestotes describes a tender concern for others that leads to generous and compassionate action. True kindness flows from a transformed heart and reflects the kindness God has first shown to us.

Throughout the conversation, they discuss how gratitude for God’s mercy softens our hearts, why unforgiveness and selfishness can block kindness, and what it looks like to intentionally practice kindness in our homes, workplaces, and communities. When we understand the depth of God’s kindness toward us, it naturally shapes how we treat the people around us.

This episode will challenge you to move beyond surface-level niceness and begin living a life marked by genuine kindness that reflects Christ.
