Practical Tips on Growing in Gentleness with Nicolet Bell + Christie Thomas

In this episode, we’re talking about the real, behind-the-scenes work of becoming a more gentle parent… and a more gentle person. From recognizing our triggers (hello, running late 😅) to inviting God into those heated moments, true gentleness starts with surrender—not control.

✨ Gentleness isn’t about getting the outcome we want
✨ It’s about trusting God with the outcome
✨ It’s about choosing faithfulness over force

When we pause, pray, and invite God into our reactions, everything begins to shift—not always our circumstances, but our hearts.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, reactive, or stretched thin… this conversation is for you.

Reference: John 15:5

Prayer: Thank you, Father, that gentleness is a fruit of your Spirit. I'm so grateful that you don't ask us to do something that you aren't willing to help us with. We confess our need for your help when it comes to growing in gentleness. We can't do anything apart from you, especially not mothering. We need you. Help us to abide in you today so that we might bear your fruit.
