In this episode of the One Yes At A Time podcast hosts Susan Dies and Keidra Hobley discuss saying 'yes' to kindness. They talk about the 'Pay It Forward" experiment and how even one act of genuine kindness can have a ripple effect that can touch hundreds, even thousands, of lives. They recount personal acts of kindness that others have done for them and share practical ways to be kind to others on a daily basis in order to practice kindness. They mention a number of benefits of kindness including health and mental benefits, relational benefits, a greater sense of purpose and reduced feelings of loneliness. They emphasize that biblical teachings on kindness are closely related to compassion and forgiveness. They distinguish kindness from simply being nice or polite and highlight Romans 2:4 that says, "It's God's kindness that leads us to repentance." They offer practical suggestions for those who want to practice daily kindness - small intentional acts: a smile, holding a door, allowing others to go first, listening, being available, sending an encouraging text or note and helping someone in need. They conclude this episode by urging listeners to share their faith with others as the ultimate act of kindness and to recognize that kindness isn't just something one does, rather it is a lifestyle.
