Fruit of the Spirit_Goodness

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?
