Shanti Feldhan tells the story of a husband and wife who invited his cantankerous mother to come live with them.

And for years, this wife just decided, I'm going to be gentle and kind and generous, and I'm going to just take what she gives me.

I'll have my boundaries, but I'm not going to respond in kind.

This is the Reviver Hearts podcast with Nancy DeMoss Walgamuth, author of Adorned,

Living Out the Beauty of the Gospel Together.

For June 28, 2021, I'm Dana Gresh.

Do you have someone in your life who's difficult to get along with?

Maybe they're always disagreeing with you or treating you badly.

Did you know your actions have the potential to make a big difference in how they act?

Nancy sat down with Shanti Feldhan to talk about the transforming power of kindness.

Here's Nancy. Well, I am so thankful to be sitting down in a studio in Atlanta today talking with an old-time friend. We connected some

years ago. You've heard Shanti Feldhan on Revive Our Hearts talking about her book for women only.

Shanti, I read and was so helped by that

book years ago when I was a single woman and now I'm a married woman and I was realizing

today I need to go back and reread that book. Oh, very fun idea. Yes. But I remember a lot of the

principles and I've recommended that book to many women over the years.

I've shared the principles with other women. And now I'm getting to live it out in a whole new and wonderful way, I might add.

So Shanti is an author. She's a speaker. She's a researcher par excellence. And I love the way your mind works.

You think about things that most people don't think about. And then you put it into little bite-sized chunks and insights that are so helpful.

And I'm really thankful you've written this book that we're here to talk about today.

So welcome to revive our hearts. I'm delighted, especially to be with you, given this topic. Yeah, it's great to

reconnect. Robert and I flew in just a few minutes ago. We're here for some other engagements,
