Woman Alive | The podcast for Christian women

Christians can’t be nice all the time!


Listen Later

Have you ever been told you’re “too nice”? Do you struggle to tell people “no”?

Are you desperate to make everyone around you happy, at your own expense?
God calls us to be holy, righteous, kind, gentle and patient – but have we substituted the fruit of the Holy Spirit for people pleasing and seeking approval?
On this episode, host Tola-Doll Fisher and her guests discuss why being too nice isn’t always a good or Christian thing to do.

Danielle's article for Woman Alive is the inspiration for the discussion we're having today.
