The Truth About Gentleness with Christie Thomas

The Truth About Gentleness with Christie Thomas

Gentleness doesn't mean being passive, weak, or getting walked all over. In this episode, I sit down with author and family ministry leader Christie Thomas to reframe what gentleness actually is: strength under control.

We talk about why gentleness is one of the most misunderstood fruits of the Spirit—and why it's often hardest to practice in the moments we need it most. From conflict and parenting to divorce and online interactions, this conversation gets practical about what it looks like to pause, respond with intention, and trust God in the process.

If you've ever thought, "I can't be gentle in this situation," this episode is for you.

You'll walk away with a new perspective on gentleness—and a few simple ways to start practicing it today.
