Description

Have you ever paused to think about the profound impact of small acts of kindness?

Hosts Wendy and Johan Heinrichs explore this very theme with guest Zach Manntai. They delve into why seemingly insignificant gestures can have substantial ripple effects over time. Johan reflects on how the early church was known for their love and bottom-up approach, influencing culture profoundly. Wendy shares a personal story of receiving a dream guitar, emphasizing how generosity transcends the initial act. Zach brings insightful perspectives as he ties together compassion fatigue, sustainable care, and the intersection of faith with public health and justice. Together, they discuss the often-overlooked significance of forming a habit of kindness, the challenges of our transactional society, and the transformative power of presence.
