We can cast our cares on the Lord because He is in control. God gives us the choice to love Him by giving us a choice not to love Him. Christians are quick to judge but not to give you the good news. God designed my life this way and it is the best way. You can not expect lonely and hurting people to walk into church, but Jesus made house calls. He rarely said, "I love you," but showed it in action. Get to know a new believer and tailor your discipleship to their specific needs. The group that needs to be louder is the group that loves. Allow yourself time to get to know Jesus after coming to faith.

This episode of the Heart Lessons Podcast features actor, producer, and author Candace Cameron Bure. We chat about her newest book, Kind is the New Classy, and why kindness is so important.

But it all starts with you and it starts with me - it starts with one person at a time. You have to work at kindness and build it like a muscle and form new habits for yourself. Kindness can still be bold it's just staying respectful in your character and treating the other person with dignity. What will people say about Jesus because of me? I trust God and I know that He has my back. I trust that He will give me the words or disposition I need in that moment. Jesus's kindness was never conditional. He recognized the image of God in everyone and treated everyone with that appropriate level of kindness. Kindness is love in action. It is something you do. Love is also a verb, but it can have emotions attached. I don't have to have an emotional feeling toward someone to be kind to them. Steps to Choosing Kindness: Take a breath Take a beat Put yourself in the other person's shoes and consider them Go to God in prayer Ask for what you want.

You don't need a bunch of rules to follow, you need Jesus to change your heart. We will have three titles that extend beyond the grave: disciple, husband, and father. What do you spend your time on that does not make sense for the kingdom of God? Take initiative and stumble your way through spiritual leadership. The good news of the gospel is that you don't have to be the perfect daddy because you can point your kids back to the perfect daddy. How can a wife help her husband lead well: Create an atmosphere of humble confession Pray for him often Affirm him in his heart question that he is valuable and has what it takes. I love you simply because you are my child just as God does not love me based on what I accomplish but simply his heart toward me.

On this final part of the Father's Day series here on the Heart Lessons Podcast, Nigel Anderson shares his perspective on fatherhood, approaching racial issues with grace, and how we can all be unified under the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ. This is a very sensitive but very important topic, and I am so thankful for Nigel's willingness to share his heart and his wisdom and speak into these issues with such a spirit of grace. May you receive it with just as much love and grace.

If we are not intentional about keeping Christ at the center of everything we will find something to put there. If you're a Christian you should care about everything because of the Imago Dei and if not, you should fight to view all of it as important. We need to get out of the identity of our camps and figure out what the meaning of a real Christian is. The intentionality of the gospel is the restoration of a relationship that was eternally severed. Everyone's perspective is valid and it is, by definition, incomplete. The solution is knowing people. A prayer before confronting another's perspective: In this moment, Lord, give me grace to listen and wisdom to know if I should say something and if so, what that something should be. We are all different and that is fine. It is beautiful. We should elevate the gospel above all else. Related Material: The Way (song) My Role in Racial Reconciliation (blog post)

To have been broken for so long and then to find healing in Christ, that is the message of the gospel. We want to be delivered from our trouble but most often Jesus will take us through it. What is abundant life in the midst of heartache and sorrow?  That is the faith-filled life. If I can have hope then maybe what I went through can help give someone else hope for one more day. It is not sin to not want to go through something. The sin would be to stop there. Allow your pain to make you better and not bitter.

Welcome to Episode 32 of the Heart Lessons Podcast! My special guest today is author coach/writer/speaker Shelley Hitz. Today Shelley shares her story which includes some really painful elements including processing the tragic loss of her grandmother, past sexual abuse, and a pornography addiction that lasted for two years. Although there is great pain in her story, what ultimately shines through is the redemption and restoration that we can find in Christ. Shelley is using her painful past and what she has overcome to encourage others in similar places. I know you will find such hope in Shelley's story. **Just a note that this might not be the most family friendly episode. If my five-year-old was in the car with me I might consider listening at a different time. This episode is so wonderful and definitely worth the listen, but considering some of the words and stories Shelley shares, you might not want little ears to hear.

Mary Hairston joins me for episode twenty-seven of the Heart Lessons Podcast. Mary is a wife, mama, and a gifted artist who uses her talents to illustrate the scriptures that encourage her everyday.

We also chat about her creative process, her goals to encourage others, and what it looks like to be a work at home mom. And of course she shares her heart lesson which is a challenge for us all to evaluate what we think we need in life. Mary has such a sweet spirit and her drawings are winsome and uplifting. I know you are going to fall in love with her just as I have.

Becky is a blogger, writer, and fellow podcaster whose mission is to encourage people to live bravely and authentically in life, especially during life's trials. As you listen to her story you'll find that Becky is certainly qualified to speak to this as she has faced her share of adversity. Becky experienced the loss of her husband Keith to cancer when she was eight months pregnant with their daughter. She talks about what life has been like as she rebuilds her new normal after Keith's passing, what her grief journey has been like, and what is has meant for her to live bravely and authentically. If you are going through a difficult time right now I know Becky's words will be a great source of encouragement for you.
