Podcasts about Kindness

Message from Andrew Hopper on January 31, 2026

What happens when we decide to be present, patient, and kind in the middle of one of the hardest stretches of the school year? In this week's episode of Aspire to Lead, Joshua Stamper welcomes back Dr. Christopher Culver to explore the science of kindness and belonging, the impact of chronic stress on educators, and why self compassion must come before we can sustain compassion for others.​Dr. Culver shares vulnerable pieces of his own story, including seasons of deep darkness and imposter syndrome, and explains how those experiences shaped his work on kindness, his bilingual children's book about belonging, his new book Be the Light, and his Science of Kindness podcast. Listeners will gain practical strategies to lead with presence and patience, protect their own mental health in high stress seasons, and create school cultures where every person feels seen, valued, and included.About Dr. Christopher Culver:Dr. Christopher Culver is a proud product of Oklahoma education and has served educational communities for more than a decade as a classroom teacher, secondary principal, and most recently as a cabinet-level administrator.

What if wealth isn't about luck, connections, or hustle—but about how you think?   In today's episode, we unpack a fascinating story of a 17-year-old dishwasher who spent a decade working inside a high-end country club alongside ultra-wealthy members. What he learned completely dismantled common assumptions about rich people—and surprisingly, many of his lessons line up directly with Scripture.   Bob and Linda walk through 7 mindset shifts that separate people who grow wealth from those who stay stuck, and why renewing your mind around money may be the most biblical financial move you can make.   This isn't about chasing money—it's about becoming the kind of person God can trust with more.     Episode Highlights 1. Rich people aren't greedy—greed is the problem Money doesn't change your heart; it amplifies what's already there. When we believe "all rich people are greedy," we subconsciously sabotage our own growth. 2. Be cool (aka: be kind) True wealth shows up as humility and generosity toward those earlier on the path. Kindness is influence. 3. Wealthy kids inherit a mindset before they inherit money What did you inherit about money growing up? Limiting beliefs can be rewired—especially through God's Word. "For as he thinks in his heart, so is he." —Proverbs 23:7 (NLT) 4. You don't need school to be successful—but you do need wisdom Education matters, but obedience to God matters more. College doesn't guarantee provision—God does. 5. Stop chasing money; start creating value Money is a result, not a target. It's simply a reflection of the value you bring to others. 6. Money is a learnable skill You don't have to be "good at math" to be good with money. One book, one framework, one habit can radically change your financial future. 7. Focus on becoming who God created you to be Growth, wisdom, and Christlikeness compound over time—and so does stewardship.   Key Scriptures Mentioned (NLT) Proverbs 23:7 — "For as he thinks in his heart, so is he." Romans 12:2 — "Let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think." Matthew 6:26 — God's provision for the birds (and for you)   Action Item for This Week Do these three things: Identify one limiting belief you inherited about money. Find one biblical truth that directly contradicts it. Learn one practical thing about how money actually works (book, podcast, or Scripture). Small shifts in thinking can unlock massive change.   Wealth doesn't start in your bank account—it starts in your beliefs.    

What if you're already sitting on more blessings than you realize? After weeks of talking about sin and negative programming, Dr. Alex Lloyd and Harry bring the good news: God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit have given you gifts that completely tidal wave your struggles. This isn't feel-good fluff—this is a comprehensive, scripture-backed catalog of what you actually receive from the Trinity. WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER IN THIS EPISODE: - The complete list of gifts from God the Father (presence, power, glory, light, love, grace, and more) - What Jesus specifically gives you that the Father doesn't (His way, truth, life, righteousness, peace) - The unique blessings only the Holy Spirit provides (comfort, perfect counsel, fruit of the Spirit, power) - Why you receive love, peace, and grace from all three—and why that matters - What "glory" actually means in Old vs. New Testament (Harry's word study insights) - Why guilt and shame DON'T come from God (even when you've sinned) - The experiential difference between natural living and living in these gifts - How Harry's life transformed over 2-3 years by intentionally pursuing these blessings KEY TOPICS COVERED: God's Presence Everywhere - Psalm 139: "Where can I go that you're not there?" Supernatural Power vs. Natural Strength - Ephesians 3 The "Weight" of God's Glory That Fills the Earth Miraculous Light That Cleanses and Heals The New Heart and New Spirit Promise - Ezekiel 36:26-27 Being Made a New Creation - 2 Corinthians 5:17 Seated with Christ in Heaven's Throne Room - Ephesians 2:6 Jesus as Both Your Judge AND Defense Attorney The Mind of Christ and Being His Bride His Righteousness Imputed to You (How God judges you righteous even when you remember sinning) Love Beyond Knowledge - Ephesians 3:17-19 Peace That Passes Understanding Holy Spirit's Perfect Counsel for Your Specific Moment Fruit of the Spirit: Love, Joy, Peace, Kindness, Goodness, Faith, Humility, Self-Control The Same Power That Raised Jesus From the Dead Working in You Life and Health to Your Mortal Body - Romans 8:11 Unlimited Forgiveness (70 times 7) Propitiation: Jesus Takes Your Place The All-Encompassing Grace of God POWERFUL QUOTES FROM THIS EPISODE: "Love is God in motion." - Harry Lloyd "Would you rather have unconditional love from one person or two or three? You're getting it from all three persons of the Trinity." - Dr. Alex Lloyd "The experiential difference between this and what you might call the natural way of living... it is amazing how the trend of my life has been consistently upwards in the ways that really matter most." - Harry Lloyd "Guilt and shame don't come from God, Jesus, or the Holy Spirit—at least not if you're committed to them in your life." - Dr. Alex Lloyd WORD STUDY INSIGHTS (from Harry): Glory (Old Testament): Refers to a substance of glory Glory (New Testament): God's definition of what value is, how it's structured, where it comes from—the hierarchy behind every kind of value Light: The physical manifestation of God's glory or presence Love: "God in motion"—the mechanism that underlies everything Grace: Literally means "unearned favor" IMPORTANT CLARIFICATIONS: - This doesn't mean life becomes problem-free—there is no path without pain, suffering, and sin on this earth - God won't take away your free will, even at 99 years old - These gifts lead to "lesser and lesser" problems over time, not elimination - Based on God's will for your specific situation (He sometimes uses health problems as "bumper guards") - You shouldn't accept this on Dr. Alex and Harry's say-so—Harry seriously studied atheism and apologetics before committing PRACTICAL APPLICATION: Dr. Alex suggests focusing on what God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit DO rather than dwelling on sin, guilt, shame, and selfishness. Consider writing down these gift lists and reviewing them regularly to shift your focus from the negative to the abundant blessings you already have.

Warren Buffett calls Berkshire Hathaway his Sistine Chapel. This analogy haunted me for years until I realized we are building the exact same thing at IMA. It took me a decade to put into words, but I finally narrowed our firm's entire reason for existence down to just two words. They sound simple, but living up to them is the hardest thing we've ever done.

Send us a textWillie wants to fit in with the most popular boys at school, but Max and Lucas enjoy teasing others.

“A man who is kind benefits himself,  but a cruel man hurts himself.” Proverbs 11:17 Disciples of Jesus are commanded to be kind to one another. Too often, our words are tinged with a cruel flavor and our actions cause suffering for someone else. This proverb offers some helpful insight that might turn some of our assumptions about kindness on its head.

Send us a textWhat happens when grit, humor, and sharp self-advocacy meet a system that still talks over disabled people? We sit down with author, podcaster, and athlete Win Charles for a wide-open conversation about cerebral palsy, pain that won't be ignored, and the stubborn hope that keeps her training for Kona even as she prepares for a hip replacement at 37.Win breaks down what CP actually feels like—spasticity that clamps like a rubber band, a startle reflex that can derail recovery—and the cascading impact of a fall that left her hip 50 degrees out of the socket. She shares the moments that cut deepest: being dismissed at the ER, a pre-op staffer asking others to sign for her, and an anesthesiologist who brushed off her documented allergy. Through it all, she models what real advocacy sounds like: clear language, repeated boundaries, and a refusal to surrender decision-making power over her own body.We widen the lens to education, where accommodations exist on paper but often vanish in practice. Win calls out professors who skip IEPs, highlights the invisible labor students carry, and offers concrete steps for allies: learn the basics of CP and disability, shadow a special education teacher, and design access before it's requested. Then we come back to the everyday—the narrow clinic doorway, the broken door button, the shower that turns into a puzzle—because access lives or dies in these small, solvable details.There's joy here too. Win's Ironman story challenges every lazy myth about disability and ambition, and her rebuild plan after surgery is both disciplined and hopeful. The throughline is simple and strong: speak to the person, not the aide; hold the door when the button fails; believe people when they describe their bodies; and when it's your turn to move, just do it.If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a review to help others find conversations that center dignity, access, and action.

Mister Rogers once challenged us by saying: “Imagine what our real neighborhoods would be like if each of us offered just one kind word to another person.”When he gave us these instructions, it wasn't hard to look at the neighbors to the left and right of our home, and then imagine friendly conversations with them. But what about the neighbors we pass on the street everyday on our commute — those sleeping under bridges, at bus stops, in tents.As temperatures recently dropped to negative-15 degrees in Milwaukee, the health and wellness of these people became front of mind. And an organization in Milwaukee that for nearly a decade has been extending kindness to our neighbors experiencing homelessness continued their mission in subzero conditions.On this episode, we talk with Street Angels co-founders Shelly Sarasin and Eva Welch about how a change meeting at a warming shelter in 2016 grew into an award-winning nonprofit with an unwavering mission.#####Host: Kim ShineGuest Host: Carolann Grzybowski

In this heartfelt episode of The Child Psych Podcast, we're joined by Her Royal Highness Princess Noor of Jordan—author, mother, and passionate advocate for raising emotionally healthy children through compassion, presence, and storytelling.Princess Noor takes us behind the scenes of her meaningful children's books, including Sometimes, Pandy's Book of Thanks, and Whisper's Journey, exploring why themes like emotional awareness, kindness, mindfulness, and gratitude are not “extras,” but foundational skills for childhood.Together, we talk about how stories can help children name and move through big feelings, build emotional intelligence, and strengthen parent-child connection. Princess Noor also shares gentle, practical ways parents and educators can use storytelling as a tool for shared regulation—helping kids feel safe, understood, and supported during emotional moments.We also explore how motherhood shaped her writing, how her Jordanian heritage influences the messages she shares, and what she hopes children will carry with them long after the book is closed: a deeper sense of self-worth, calm, and compassion.This episode is a beautiful reminder that sometimes the most powerful emotional tools come in the form of a simple story—read together.

What is the relationship between Metta (lovingkindness practice) and developing, or rediscovering, a childlike innocence? How can Buddhist meditation help both kids and adults with emotional regulation and resilience? Is there anything about the way kids meet thoughts and emotions that we grown-ups can learn from? And, as Ethan wonders, are all children Democratic Socialists? Ethan welcomes dear mentor and friend Sharon Salzberg—now author of a children's book called Kind Karl (and it's an excellent one)—for a discussion about kindness, mindfulness, and rediscovering our innocence. Sharon Salzberg is one of America's leading spiritual teachers and authors. A practitioner of Buddhist meditation for over fifty years, she is a co-founder of the Insight Meditation Society.

The Unexpected Path to Cycling  Nathaniel's journey began on a small family farm in rural Oregon, where he faced significant challenges during his childhood. Struggling with family dynamics and a deep-seated desire for justice, he initially pursued a political career, enrolling in a prestigious liberal arts college. However, disillusionment with the political system led him to drop out and seek a new path. This pivotal moment was the catalyst for his life-changing adventure. After a transformative experience in nature with a friend, Nathaniel found himself on a one-way ticket to Europe with a bicycle, ready to embrace the unknown.Embracing Minimalism and the Vagabond Lifestyle  When Nathaniel and his friend set out on their bikes, they embraced a lifestyle of minimalism and spontaneity. With just a few changes of clothes and a commitment to living without money, they relied on the kindness of strangers. One innovative strategy they employed was the "Magic Note"—a simple piece of paper in various languages asking for food donations. This approach not only provided sustenance but also fostered deep connections with the communities they encountered.Life Lessons on the Road  Cycling through Europe, Nathaniel faced numerous challenges that tested his resilience. The duo often found themselves in unpredictable situations, relying on their instincts and the generosity of others. Nathaniel reflects on a particular mindset that guided their journey: to appreciate every moment as if it were the last while also embracing the wonder of new experiences. This perspective allowed them to engage fully with their surroundings.Wild Encounters and Unexpected Friendships Throughout their travels, Nathaniel experienced both the highs and lows of human interaction. One particularly harrowing experience involved a robbery in London, where a group of street kids took advantage of their hospitality. Despite the danger, Nathaniel managed to stand his ground, which ultimately led to an unexpected bond with another stranger—a former criminal who turned out to be one of the kindest individuals he had ever met. This contrast between danger and kindness underscored a vital life lesson: every experience is an opportunity for growth.Nathaniel Allenby's extraordinary journey is a testament to the power of adventure, resilience, and human connection. His experiences remind us that life is unpredictable, and embracing the unknown can lead to profound personal growth. The key takeaways from Nathaniel's story include the importance of living in the moment, the value of community and kindness, and the realization that every individual we meet has a unique story to tell. Whether through cycling or any other form of travel, Nathaniel's journey inspires us to seek our own adventures and embrace the beauty of life on the road.

Community Engagement Giving Back:** Kat and Kate regularly donate boards to local fundraisers and school events. Word-of-Mouth Growth:** Their reputation is built on personal connections and community involvement, not flashy advertising. Actionable Advice: Prioritize inclusivity.** Accommodate dietary restrictions without making customers feel like an inconvenience. Engage with your community.** Sponsor local events, donate to fundraisers, and build relationships beyond transactions. Balancing Business, Family, and Community Involvement Kat and Kate are more than business owners—they're moms, school staff, and active community members. Their ability to juggle these roles is both impressive and instructive. Lessons in Balance Embrace Flexibility:** Both women transitioned from corporate careers to roles in the local school system, finding fulfillment and flexibility. Set Boundaries:** They admit to sometimes undercharging or giving away products, but are learning to value their time and expertise. Find Joy in Service:** Subbing in local schools isn't just a job—it's a way to connect with their kids and neighbors. Expert Insights: Don't be afraid to pivot your career.** Sometimes, the best opportunities come from unexpected places. Value your work.** Generosity is important, but sustainability matters too. Actionable Tips for Small Business Owners Drawing from Kat and Kate's journey, here are nuanced, actionable tips for anyone looking to start or grow a small business—especially in a tight-knit community. 1. Start with What You Love—and Know    Leverage your unique skills and passions. Kat and Kate's background in event catering gave them a head start.    Don't wait for perfect conditions—start small and iterate. 2. Build Your Brand on Authenticity    Be yourself in every interaction. Customers are drawn to genuine people.    Share your story—people want to support businesses with heart. 3. Use Social Media Strategically    Even without a website, Kat and Kate built a loyal following on Facebook and Instagram (@allofyoucharcuterie).    Respond promptly to messages and keep your content fresh and engaging.    Don't be afraid to ask for help with new platforms (like TikTok). 4. Prioritize Customer Experience    Offer convenient delivery and pickup options.    Handle setup and cleanup when possible to make events stress-free.    Consider loyalty programs (like punch cards) to reward repeat customers. 5. Give Back—But Set Limits    Support local causes, but don't undervalue your work.    Set clear policies for donations and discounts to maintain sustainability. 6. Lean Into Community Connections    Partner with local organizations, schools, and businesses.    Attend and sponsor community events to increase visibility. The Grayslake Difference: Why Community Matters Kat and Kate's story is inseparable from the fabric of Grayslake. Their business thrives because of the town's unique blend of small-town warmth and open-mindedness. What Makes Grayslake Special: Supportive Neighbors:** Word-of-mouth and personal recommendations drive business. Respect for Differences:** The community rallies around shared values, even when opinions differ. Traditions and Togetherness:** Events like the Freeze opening, tree lighting, and end-of-school rituals foster a sense of belonging. Actionable Advice: Get involved.** Whether it's volunteering at schools or attending local events, show up for your community. Celebrate local traditions.** They're the heartbeat of small towns. Final Thoughts: Authenticity, Kindness, and Local Pride Kat and Kate's journey is a masterclass in building a business that's as nourishing for the soul as it is for the stomach. Their advice for listeners—and for anyone looking to make a difference—is simple but profound: Be unapologetically yourself.** Authenticity attracts the right people, both in business and in life. Do the hard things first.** Tackle your biggest challenges head-on, every day. Spread kindness.** Small acts—like a smile or a helping hand—can transform your community. As David Wool reminds us at the end of the episode, everyone is fighting a battle you can't see.

There's a deeper shift happening under the chaos. It's one that most people can feel in their bones but don't yet have words for. If you've been feeling disoriented, "successfully stuck," or strangely calm in the middle of all the noise, this episode is for you. In this solo episode, we name what many are sensing: the systems around us aren't just failing. They're breaking open. And that's not a problem… it's a purpose. Lisa McGuire guides you through the unseen transformation beneath today's uncertainty - a breakdown that's clearing the path for a new way of leading, living, and building. You'll learn why your discomfort may be proof that you're evolving, what's replacing the old leadership models, and how to anchor your identity in a world that's constantly shifting. This isn't about trends, tactics, or tools — it's about who you're becoming and why you're right on time to help shape what comes next. Key Takeaways The system isn't failing. It's breaking open...and that's a necessary evolution. Old structures based on performance, separation, and productivity were never designed for the kind of humans we are becoming. High achievers who feel "stuck" are not failing. They're evolving out of outdated definitions of success. This isn't a tech revolution. It's a consciousness shift toward presence, coherence, and identity-first leadership. You are not late to the game. You were born for this moment in history. Leaders who thrive in the next decade won't master more tools. They'll master themselves. What feels like collapse is actually initiation. The future will belong to those who lead with presence, not performance. Real relationships, not reach, are the currency of the new era. Energy isn't a soft skill. It's the strategy.

While traveling through Eastern Europe, I learned about a history marked by war, occupation, and decades without liberation — and how community, connection, and resilience carried people forward.Coming home, I couldn't ignore the parallels to what many of us are feeling now:extreme weather, violence, and the sense that nothing we do makes a difference.This episode is about remembering that:• History moves in cycles• Liberation takes time• And kindness — even when it feels small — is powerfulWe may not control everything, but we do control how we show up for one another.

Graham Allcott: KIND Graham Allcott is an author, speaker, entrepreneur, and the founder of Think Productive, a leading provider of training and consultancy. He is the author of multiple books, including the bestseller How to Be a Productivity Ninja and his latest book, KIND: The Quiet Power of Kindness at Work (Amazon, Bookshop)*. “Nice” means telling people what they want to hear. “Kind” means telling them what they need to hear. The best leaders are kind. In this conversation, Graham and I explore how we can do a better job of following through. Key Points “Nice” means telling people what they want to hear, whereas “kind” means telling them what they need to hear. Kindness is both concern for others and concern for self. Just like with salted caramel, it's best with the right balance. Leaders often do better articulating vision and values than they do with getting clear on expectations of value each person should provide. Being clear is an act of kindness in itself because it drives psychological safety. Use a personal mantra as a concise and powerful way to consistently remind people about what's most important. Invite others to “give the last 20%” in feedback to uncover areas where clarity would help.

Episode #230: The Big Nes That Saved The Life Of Reb Shaul Because Of A Kindness He Did

What if the real measure of leadership isn't your title, revenue, or followers—but how safe people feel to be fully themselves around you? Claude Silver, Chief Heart Officer at VaynerMedia and Gary Vaynerchuk's right hand on all things people and culture, isn't interested in performative “culture” or polished buzzwords; she's interested in the messy, human reality of work—belonging, psychological safety, emotional optimism, and what actually happens when leaders care more about people's hearts than their job titles.Spending time with Claude feels like getting permission to stop performing and start leading from who you really are—whether you're a CEO, founder, HR leader, manager, or just someone who refuses to numb out at work. If this hits something in you and you're ready to bring more heart, honesty, and humanity into your leadership, go deeper with Claude's book Be Yourself at Work here: ⁠https://www.claudesilver.com/book⁠00:00 Lead with heart or don't lead 00:29 Why people matter more than anything 02:10 Survival Camp, discomfort, and waking up to yourself 04:50 Walking away from advertising and choosing people 06:20 Becoming Chief Heart Officer at VaynerMedia with Gary Vaynerchuk 08:05 Be Yourself (Be a zebra) 10:05 Hiding at work, fear, and judgment 12:15 Psychological safety and speaking your mind 14:20 Belonging, being known, and feeling seen 16:25 Emotional intelligence and emotional fluency 18:30 Leaders as light‑switches, not heroes 20:40 Protecting your people and choosing health over accounts 22:45 Kindness, chance encounters, and the quiet ROI of empathy 25:00 Knowing your own strengths and owning your story 27:10 Legacy, kids, and bringing heart home too 31:00 A simple challenge: reach out, be human today

Sermon delivered on the Second Sunday After Epiphany, 2026, in Houston, Texas. Epistle: Rom. 12, 6-16. Gospel: St. John 2, 1-11.

Welcome to this message from Pastor Jeff Bucknam, part of our series Rise and Fall of a King. In this sermon, “Uncommon Kindness,” we turn to 1 Samuel 24:1–22, a pivotal moment in the life of David where power, fear, and broken relationships collide. As David faces the man who has relentlessly pursued him, we see a surprising response—humility instead of revenge, restraint instead of retaliation. This passage invites us to consider how God calls His people to respond when relationships are fractured and when the opportunity to take matters into our own hands feels justified. We pray this message encourages you to trust the Lord, pursue peace, and reflect the uncommon kindness we ourselves have received through the gospel.

Hey Regular Guys and Gals, we did it again and made it through another week! This week, Kev takes a look at how punk rock used to mean rage… but now? Maybe kindness is the real rebellion. A reflection on how Iggy Pop went from chaos to calm, and why Superman (not Batman) might actually be the hero we need right now. How real success isn't found in likes or headlines, but in Target pretzels, your dad's corner store coffee, and creating something that makes people feel less alone. Why detaching from outcomes often brings better ones, and how letting the old way die sometimes makes space for the truer path. RGF bonus: Dustin Hoffman on what real success actually looks like, Larry Bird's beer-fridge dream, ‘Kev On the Scene' with Karamo Brown skipping the press tour, Bowie's Heroes, and how you can be one too… just for one day!

We often think of our emotions like a light switch—that we can be a rage monster on the freeway or rude to a chatbot, and then instantly flip the switch to 'Saint' when we walk through the front door to see our family. But neuroscience tells us a different story. Every time we practice impatience—even when we think it's harmless—we are literally wiring our brains to be unkind. Today, we're discussing the ripple effects of our private words, and how the 'neural grooves' we carve in secret eventually bleed over into the lives of the people we love most. New Episode of the Happiness Podcast with Dr. Robert Puff, Ph.D.
