Episode Summary
As we begin a new year, we’re focusing on something every parent longs to see in their children: genuine, Christ-centered kindness. In this episode, we move beyond surface-level “being nice” and talk about the kind of heart-level kindness that flows from biblical love.
Kindness doesn’t happen by accident. It is cultivated daily through Scripture, discipleship, modeling, prayer, and real conversations in the everyday moments of family life. Join us as we explore how God grows kindness in our children’s hearts and how moms can faithfully nurture that fruit at home.
