His Kindness Helps Us Change

Do you ever fear being kind to yourself?  Does it seem like loving behavior toward yourself might enable bad behavior and harshness might be necessary to inspire change?  Building on last week’s discussion of dying to the things that are killing us, today Cinthia discusses dying to self-hatred and the belief that self-flagellation is the best way to remake ourselves into what we should be.  In this episode, Cinthia discusses what kindness is and is not (Hint: It’s not extreme self-indulgence or self-deception.) and looks at some research on how being kind impacts our bodies and minds.  She considers passages from the Bible that teach God’s kindness is what changes us, and that this kindness is the example we are commanded to follow.  Join Cinthia to discover what it means to love your own worst enemy when that enemy is you.
