Summary

In this fifth message of Spirituality That Heals, Dr. Michael Youssef confronts the noxious weed of selfishness that chokes out the fruit of kindness in believers’ lives. Rooted in Galatians 5 and the character of God, he proclaims that true kinadness is not sentimental niceness but a supernatural work of the Holy Spirit flowing from daily surrender. In a culture that celebrates self-centeredness and perverts compassion, Christians must imitate their Father’s covenant-keeping kindness—shown supremely at the cross of Christ. Dr. Youssef calls believers to repent of pride, to uproot selfishness, and to let the Spirit cultivate genuine kindness toward family, the church, and even enemies of the cross, for God’s glory. If today’s teaching stirred a question, burden, or need for prayer, you don’t have to walk through it alone. 🙏 Pastoral Care & Prayer Teams Our trained prayer partners and pastoral care team are available to pray with you and offer Biblical support. https://ltw.org/care 💬 Receive personal answers to your faith questions—anytime, day or night—at: https://myfaithassistant.com If you’ve been blessed by this podcast, please consider a tax-deductible donation to help extend this ministry—so another person can be encouraged, prayed for, and pointed to Christ. ❤️ Support Leading The Way: https://www.ltw.org/donate

0:18.0	Kindness has a habit of interfering with our privacy, but the spirit-filled believer, far from
0:25.8	seeing kindness as inconvenience, but rather it's part of the real fruit that is produced in
0:33.7	the spirit-filled life. Far from seeing kindness as distraction, it is one of the visible evidence of the spirit-filled
0:43.8	life.
0:45.7	Hello, and welcome to leading the way, the international Bible teaching ministry of Dr.

1:42.5	You know, the advertising industry has radically changed in the past 20 or 30 years.
1:51.6	In fact, it's becoming more and more based upon the philosophy of appealing to human
1:57.1	selfishness rather than advertising a product.
2:02.6	There's hardly a product today that is not advertised without the appeal to human selfishness, not necessarily need. Whether it
