Summary

We’re hitting the ground with the first two characteristics of Christ that Paul tells us to literally put on; Compassion and goodness (sometimes translated kindness). Can you imagine how different our relationships might look if these were the first two qualities people met in us? We’ll take a look at what each word means in its original language and how it applies to our life today. We’re about to get super practical. This series will impact our relationships, everyone from family members, friends, co-workers, people we love, even those who have hurt us. We’ll be working our way through Colossians 3:12-15 where Paul talks about putting on compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, patience, along with forgiveness, love, gratitude, and peace. Also, for our Cultivate listeners we have a special offer of 25% off Kelly’s book The Fitting Room: Putting on the Character of Christ if you’d like to go deeper.

0:57.0	Yeah. Access more. I am so glad that you are here with me today and that you have taken the time to be with me at my house from my dining room table, which is quite a mess right now, actually. My accountant
1:03.4	came over yesterday and I had a massive stack of papers that I think actually even frightened
1:09.4	him, which is saying a lot because he knows what to do
1:12.0	with everything.
1:12.8	So just know, it's not as tidy as it could be.
1:16.5	But, hey, real life.
1:18.9	And we are actually going to talk some very real life today because we are going to be looking
1:24.7	at two of the virtues that Paul mentions in Colossians 3 versus 12
1:30.8	through 15. I am so excited because all of these virtues have to do with our relationships.
1:37.4	They have to do with on the ground real life. And so there's only one way to treat these virtues, and that is with honesty and
1:47.1	transparency. So I'm going to be really honest with you about the ways that I've wrestled with
1:51.6	these, but also how God is so faithful to ground us in the truth of the gospel. We cannot live
1:59.1	these virtues apart from being grounded in the blessing and the gift of the gospel. We cannot live these virtues apart from being grounded in the
2:03.1	blessing and the gift of the gospel. So if you happen to miss last week's episode, which was
2:08.8	episode 22, I want to invite you to go back and start there because that is where we get
