What If Your “Honesty” Isn’t Actually Gentleness? | Faith Friday Ep. 7 GENTLENESS
2026-08-14 | 23 mins.Welcome back to Faith Friday!! We are almost done with this fruit of the Spirit series!!! hope y'all are loving it!
In this episode, we explore the fruit of the Spirit: gentleness from Galatians 5:22–23. We’ll talk about what biblical gentleness really means, how Jesus modeled it, and what it looks like in our everyday relationships, conversations, and responses.
Gentleness invites us to respond rather than react, to speak truth with love, and to treat others with grace even when emotions run high. It’s a quiet strength that reflects the character of Christ.
In this episode, we’ll explore:
What biblical gentleness actually means
Why gentleness is a fruit of the Holy Spirit
How Jesus demonstrated gentleness without compromising truth
The difference between gentleness and weakness
Practical ways to cultivate gentleness in our words, reactions, and relationships
What it looks like to surrender our responses to the Holy Spirit
Scripture: Galatians 5:22–23; Matthew 11:28–30
Reflection: Where might God be inviting you to replace a harsh reaction with a gentle response this week?
SEE YOU NEXT WEEK!

In today’s episode, Kaleb and I are breaking down some of the most common sayings Christians repeat that either aren’t actually in Scripture or are often taken wayyy out of context. We’re talking about everything from “God won’t give you more than you can handle” and “everything happens for a reason” to soulmates, money, Halloween, taking God’s name in vain, and more.
We are definitely NOT claiming to be biblical scholars, and we’re totally open to being corrected, but our heart behind this conversation is to encourage all of us to actually know what the Word of God says instead of building our theology around something we heard on Instagram, from a friend, or even growing up in church.
And as always, if we missed something or you disagree with one of our takes, let us know! We’re learning right alongside you guys.

2026-08-04 | 47 mins.You guys asked some tough questions and...we answered.
We talk about criticism we've received online that actually helped us grow, our thoughts on nicotine pouches (Zyn), and why we believe anything that controls us deserves an honest look. We also share vulnerable moments from our marriage, including decisions we regret, lessons we've learned, and how God has faithfully met us through every season.
We dive into navigating family boundaries after marriage, handling conflict with grace instead of pride, and why protecting your marriage while still honoring your family is so important. We also have an honest conversation about how having a baby changes marriage, intimacy, and priorities—and the practical ways we've tried to keep our relationship healthy while raising Duke.
Our hope is that this episode encourages you to pursue humility, healthy communication, and to remember that God can bring healing, growth, and joy even through uncomfortable conversations.

Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices- What does it actually mean to be faithful to God—especially when you’re waiting, discouraged, or life isn’t going according to plan?
In this episode of our Fruit of the Spirit series, we’re talking about faithfulness and what the Bible teaches about trusting God in every season. We’ll unpack God’s faithfulness, how to stay consistent in your Christian faith when your feelings change, and why being faithful in the small things matters more than we realize.
If you’ve been struggling to trust God, waiting for an answered prayer, or wanting to grow deeper in your relationship with Jesus, this episode will encourage you to keep showing up, keep obeying, and remember that God is faithful—even when you can’t see what He’s doing yet.
Scriptures: Galatians 5:22–23, Lamentations 3:22–23, 2 Timothy 2:13, Romans 4:20–21, Daniel 6:10, Luke 16:10, Matthew 25:21, Galatians 6:9

Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices - Some weeks, we have so much to say... and other weeks, we honestly don't know where to start. 🤍 This episode is one of those conversations where we just hit record and got real. We open up about feeling stuck, uninspired, and honestly just a little "off." Between law school starting back up, parenting, work, comparison, and the pressure to always be "on," we wanted to share what we're actually walking through instead of pretending everything is perfect.
We talk about why chasing constant highs leaves us empty, how social media can distort reality, and the importance of checking in with ourselves mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. We also share some of the small habits we're trying to build—putting our phones away before bed, reading more, spending intentional time with God, prioritizing community, and remembering that faithfulness often looks a lot more ordinary than exciting.
If you've been feeling numb, discouraged, or like you're just going through the motions lately, we hope this episode reminds you that you're not alone. Sometimes the next right step isn't a huge life change—it's simply choosing faithfulness in the small things and trusting God in every season.
