Two authors editing our lives one day at a time to make tomorrow better than today.
In many ways goodness is the outward manifestation of all the other fruits working inside your heart. But how do we help it along? How do we recognize it?
Let's talk about the last of our fruits of the Spirit, goodness.
We often think gentleness means being meek and mild. Kristi and Lindsey discuss why that's far from true as we look at past uses of the word and a different way of executing gentleness.
Rachel McMillan joins Lindsey and Kristi to discuss how our definitions of peace have changed during the pandemic, how we're learning to find it, and how Rachel's travel book that didn't do well and her WWII novel that's doing amazing have given her a new understanding of finding peace in knowing herself and God.
Faithfulness. It's something profoundly connected to God but much more difficult to see manifested in the fallible humans around us. How can we find faithfulness when it feels like there's none to be had? How do we ensure that we ourselves are working towards faithfulness?
How long will Kristi let Lindsey ramble?
All these answers and more in this week's episode.
Patience. We often think of it as the ability to wait but what if we considered it something active that we could do while we wait? Kristi and Lindsey discuss where they are finding patience difficult, where they are using impatience to their advantage, and Christmas.
Yes. Christmas in September because it's 2020 so why not?

Kristi and Lindsey discuss the all important love with guest Toni Shiloh. Riveting moments include Toni's method of declaring love to Joe Schmoe, Kristi's ability to make up stories about total strangers, and Lindsey's obsession with Wal-mart parking spaces.
What is kindness? What do we need to be kind? Does being kind include how we treat ourselves? Is the Golden Rule found in the Bible?
All of these important questions and more are addressed in this week's episode.
Joy is not happiness. It is a truth you can stand on that knows there's something better, something good, even in moments of sadness and distress. How do we hold on to that joy in a world that seems determined to strip it out?

We often think of self control as something that happens in the moment but what if there's something more we can do to set us up for a win?

Welcome to Season 2!
We're starting off with a series looking at each individual fruit of the Spirit. In the introduction we talk about why we're doing this series and establish where we are coming from as we enter this discussion.
And because Kristi and Lindsey can't seem to stay on track, we may also discuss hand sanitizer caddies, new books, and Hamilton.
