JJ West and Doug Barnes discuss the biblical concepts of kindness and godly sorrow as pathways to repentance. They assert that self-condemnation and shame do not lead to true repentance, as these behaviors lack a fundamental change in behavior and thought. However, kindness that reflects God's nature invites repentance, and godly sorrow - a broken-heartedness over sin - will lead to lasting change. They explain the importance of community, prayer, and gentle restoration in the healing process.
