Revitalize Kindness

God is Kind // S3E15 Join me on this episode of the podcast where I speak with Allen Casstevens the host of the Revitalize Hope podcast. When we think about God being the beginning of all things, this includes kindness! This was a great discussion and we hope that this is an encouragement as we talk about the kindness of our creator and how His kindness is life altering. Scripture discussed 1 John 4:19, 2 Corinthians 1:3-4, Ephesians 2:7, Psalm 36:7, Psalm 31:21 Revitalize Kindness core verse - Titus 3:4-5 "But when the kindness of God our Savior and his love for mankind appeared, He saved us, not by works of righteousness that we had done, but according to his mercy, through the washing of regeneration and renewal by the Holy Spirit." Quotes "The goodness of God to a man of evil life is not intended to encourage him to continue in his sin, but it is meant to woo and win him away from it." -Charles Spurgeon "The truth is the kindest thing we can give folks in the end." -Harriet Beecher Stowe

Quenching the Spirit // S3E14 On this episode we discuss and define what quenching the spirit is. In our conversation with Bill we discuss topics such as "walking in the spirit", excuses that we give for following the flesh, and carnal Christianity. If we are quenching the spirit are we walking by faith? If we are called to be a light unto the world, is this possible if we are quenching the spirit? We consider these questions and many more!

Eat Your Fruit // S3E13 Have you ever heard the expression,"An apple a day will keep the doctor away"? Fruit in many facets of our lives is a good thing. In terms of our spiritual lives, fruit is a great thing especially if that fruit is a gift from the Holy Spirit. In this episode we discuss the Fruit of the Spirit, Kindness! In a world where kindness is rare, as Christians we should acknowledge how the Holy Spirit works within us, growing us to maturity in our faith. Our God is kind (we will take a deep dive into this idea in an upcoming episode) and so as image bearers of our creator, we are to be kind also. However, we live in a sinful world, and let's face it, sometimes being kind is difficult to people that are not kind to us. This is why we need to focus on what thie Spirit can enable us to do which is to be kind and love in the face of adversity.

Ambassadors // S3E12 Did you know as a Christ follower that you are a new creation? We have been reconciled and God has given us this as a ministry. In this episode we discuss passages in 2 Corinthians that introduces believers to a special task that God has giving each and ever one of us. There is hope in this world and God has giving us the privilege to announce this good news to the world!

Forgiveness // S3E11 Join us for part 2 of our conversation with Mark Sowersby where we discuss these topics and more: * Is forgiveness something we do to benefit ourselves or is it for the other person? * Can avoiding forgiveness or deciding not to forgive someone causes more pain? * Can our suffering prepare us for something greater such as ministry? * How do we identify our own nightmare If you are experiencing your own nightmare and need help be sure to check out these resources: https://forgivingthenightmare.com/ [https://forgivingthenightmare.com/] https://www.forthechildren.org [https://www.forthechildren.org] Connecting forgiveness and kindness in scripture: Ephesians 4:32  “And be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving one another, just as god also forgave you in Christ. “ Colossians 3:12-13 “Therefore, as gods chosen ones, holy and dearly loved, put on compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience, bearing with one another and forgiving one another if anyone has a grievance against another. Just as the lord has forgiven you, so you are also to forgive.
