Milestones S3W9: Gentleness

In this week’s Milestones episode, we dive into one of the most misunderstood fruits of the Spirit—gentleness. Far from being weak or passive, gentleness is the Spirit-empowered ability to respond with calm strength, even when tensions are high and emotions are raw.

Through the powerful story of Jesus and the woman caught in adultery (John 8), we see gentleness in action: protecting before correcting, speaking truth with kindness, and offering dignity instead of shame. Jesus models a radical, countercultural response that challenges us to live differently—especially in a world that often equates loudness with strength.
