Have you ever thought about the difference between being KIND and being NICE? Are they the same to you? And if not, how are they different? 

As we wrap up this series what it means to Bear Fruit, it was only fitting for Kristi to sit down with one of her sweet friends, Kerri Thompson, to explore what kindness looks like, and how listening – really, truly listening to another person – is one of the simplest ways we can show kindness to other people. 

Give it a listen, and then let us know where you’ve seen kindness in your world:

Last week Kristi and some super cool folks  drilled a water well in Guatemala, through Living Water International. While there, they got to know Rudy, the lead driller for the team, and  learned of his story of being healed after two months of paralysis.

On the steps of the Living Water compound in Antigua, Guatemala, Rudy sat down with Kristi and shared his story and his heart for God.

The world often tells us that gentleness is weak. But what does God say? Today Kristi talks about what God says about gentleness, her own struggle with it and how we can bear fruit that doesn't come naturally to us.

Losing a loved one to Alzheimer's is a difficult path, to say the least. It is a cruel disease that ravages the best of a person's mind and body. In today's episode, you'll meet Amy Easterling who had to walk that road after her husband James was diagnosed in 2017 - but she also faced the added burden of knowing James had not surrendered his life to Jesus. Amy's story is a powerful reminder of trusting the Lord and keeping the faith.

I'm so grateful for Amy's openness with me - but I'm even more grateful she kept pointing her husband toward Christ for almost 40 years.

Jessica Dykes sits down with Kristi for a conversation about finding her way out of the brokenness and heartbreak surrounding her divorce and a very public scandal involving her dad’s business. With honesty and candor, she opened up about learning to hear the Holy Spirit’s voice, and trust the Lord with her finances, family and future. 

Jessica’s words today are a good reminder that when we strip it all down, God is in control, and the best thing we can do is lean in, and learn to listen. (Thank you Jessica, for coming on the show!)

Amber Peters lost her husband in a drowning accident on Father's Day, 2011. Suddenly a widow at only 32 years old - this mother of two young girls (and pregnant with their third child) was asked to do the unimaginable - pick up the pieces of a shattered life - and somehow, find a way forward. In this remarkable conversation, Amber shares what life was like in the aftermath, how the Lord carried her through those days, and how she found her way back to joy and contentment. Listen as Amber shares what helped her when she was grieving (and how we can help others).  She is as lovely as they come, y'all - and I'm flat out honored to share my sweet friend's incredible story.

*A half a box of Kleenexes were harmed in the recording of this episode. You too might find yourself with leaky eyes and a sniffly nose. But oh y'all, it's worth it.

"But the Fruit of the Spirit is love, JOY, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control." - Galatians 5:22-23
