Revitalize Kindness

Dave Weaverredcircle.com

We are living in a “me culture” society where many take on a persona with the aid of social media of “It is my life, my thoughts, my journey, and I am more relevant than you!” I began to ask myself, what happened to people just getting along or playing nice? We just don’t appreciate each other like we used to. In a world where our businesses and public policies preach diversity, inclusion, and equity, it’s ironic that our diversity seems to be causing us to divide; it is our inclusion that excludes people of faith; our thoughts on equity are simply bringing to the forefront a new form of inequality!My hope and prayer is that Revitalize Kindness will remind us all to love one another so that we can make this a better world. I hope you all will continue to join me on this journey of loving our God and each other, while creating opportunities to share the Good News of Jesus Christ our Lord!

Time for Reflection

2020 has been a year for the books! On this episode I discuss what direction the podcast will take in 2021. This is the best time of the year for us to reflect and reset our lives as we think about closing another chapter. Of course this doesn't make anything magically disappear or change in our lives, just thinking it. We must take action. As we move forward into another year I think it is equally important for us to be true to who we are. Be our authentic selves....Be You. https://www.facebook...

#Kindnessmatters

Kindness Matters. 2020 has been a year of what matters. Race and politics remains at the forefront of what matters to us this year, however as we find ourselves at the height of division in the United States, we need to remember that Kindness Matters! In this episode I share two quotes that I think will help us to work through this idea and will hopefully inspire each of us to do more to find common ground. We can find unity in our diversity, but it may take a child for us to see this truth! Joi...
