Manage episode 384110301 series 2834957
Episode Summary:
Have you ever been treated unkindly? We live in a world that values kindness but struggles to actually be kind. Today it seems that division runs amuck and people have forgotten how to treat each other with kindness and respect, even when we disagree with them. But kindness can change a heart, change someone’s mind, and change a world. Greg Atkinson and I talk about making the world a better place with 10 keys to kindness.
Quotables from the episode:
- We live in a world that values kindness but struggles to actually be kind.
- We have the power within us to be extraordinarily kind, to be the people of God we were meant to be, to demonstrate over-the-top kindness that goes the extra mile.
- We must learn to tap into that secret place within us where kindness, love, and peace dwell.
- Bad things happens when you’re not intentional.
- Kindness begins with forgiveness, both for yourself and others.
- How you deal with the trauma and pain in your life—including how you respond to it—will shape your life presently and in the future.
- You can become bitter or better. Kindness is the remedy, and forgiveness is the antidote.
- Kindness is contagious. Kindness unlocks kindness.
- Kindness is the prerequisite for making a difference.
Scripture References:
- Romans 8:6 (NIV) “The mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace.”
- Proverbs 15:1 (NIV) “A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.”
- Colossians 4:6 (NIV) “Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.”
