In this episode of the Living Out 180 Podcast, Kendall and Pastor Brad return together as they wrap up the Fruit of the Spirit series with a conversation on self-control—and record for the first time in their new facility at 1601 E Broadway Ave.

Often misunderstood as simply trying harder or holding things in, biblical self-control is something much deeper. The Greek word enkrateia points to mastering our desires and impulses through the power of the Holy Spirit. It’s not about suppression—it’s about alignment.

Together, Kendall and Brad explore how self-control flows from surrender, not perfection. They discuss how a lack of self-control can lead to chaos in our lives, and how this fruit shows up in practical ways—especially in our words, our reactions, and our daily decisions.

From learning to pause before we speak, to choosing response over reaction, this episode offers clear and practical ways to live a life led by the Spirit rather than driven by impulse.

Listen in and consider: Where do you need to move from control to surrender?

In this episode of the Living Out 180 Podcast, Kendall is joined by special guest Kelcey Bumbalough, Senior Pastor at 180 Church, as they continue the Fruit of the Spirit series with a conversation on gentleness.

Often misunderstood as weakness, gentleness is actually a powerful expression of strength under control. The Greek word prautes describes a humility and meekness that reflects the very character of Jesus—one that brings rest, not pressure, to those around us.

Together, Kendall and Kelcey explore what it means to live with gentleness in a harsh and reactive world. They discuss how this fruit shows up in our communication, leadership, parenting, and relationships—and how gentleness allows us to restore others with grace rather than respond with condemnation.

Through the example of Jesus, we see that gentleness is not about losing strength, but surrendering it to God so that truth and love can work together.

Listen in and reflect:Do people experience rest—or pressure—when they are around you?

In this episode of the Living Out 180 Podcast, Kendall and Brad continue their series on the Fruit of the Spirit by exploring the quiet but powerful virtue of faithfulness.

While faithfulness may not make headlines, it is the foundation of a life that honors God. The Greek word pistis describes a life that is trustworthy, loyal, and dependable — a steady commitment to God that shows up not in big moments, but in daily choices.

Together, Kendall and Brad unpack how faithfulness reflects the very character of God, whose mercies are new every morning. They discuss how this fruit is developed through consistent spiritual practices like prayer, time in God’s Word, community, and stewardship — and what it looks like to remain faithful even in seasons of doubt.

Faithfulness isn’t about perfection. It’s about continuing to show up, trusting God, and walking with Him over time.

In this episode of the Living Out 180 Podcast, Kendall and Brad continue their series on the Fruit of the Spirit by exploring the often overlooked virtue of goodness.

While the word may sound simple, biblical goodness runs much deeper. The Greek word agathosune describes moral excellence and integrity expressed through righteous action. Goodness is not just about being nice — it is about living with humility, compassion, and integrity in a world that often rewards the opposite.

Together, Kendall and Brad discuss how goodness reflects the character of God and shows up in everyday decisions: choosing honesty when deceit would be easier, compassion when judgment feels justified, and generosity when self-preservation seems safer.

They also explore practical ways believers can cultivate goodness through God’s Word, prayer, community, and an eternal perspective.

Goodness may not always be flashy, but it is one of the clearest signs of a life being shaped by the Spirit.

Key Scripture: Galatians 5:22–23 Psalm 34:8 Psalm 119:105 Acts 4:13 Hebrews 10:24–25 Matthew 5:11–12

Listen in and ask yourself: Where is God calling you to choose goodness today?

Kindness is more than being polite or agreeable. It is a reflection of the heart.

In this episode of Living Out 180, Kendall and Pastor Brad continue the Fruit of the Spirit series by exploring the biblical meaning of kindness. The Greek word chrestotes describes a tender concern for others that leads to generous and compassionate action. True kindness flows from a transformed heart and reflects the kindness God has first shown to us.

Throughout the conversation, they discuss how gratitude for God’s mercy softens our hearts, why unforgiveness and selfishness can block kindness, and what it looks like to intentionally practice kindness in our homes, workplaces, and communities. When we understand the depth of God’s kindness toward us, it naturally shapes how we treat the people around us.

This episode will challenge you to move beyond surface-level niceness and begin living a life marked by genuine kindness that reflects Christ.
