What does it mean to be gentle? In this episode of the Everyday Truths Kids Podcast , Sherri talks with kids about gentleness as part of the Fruit of the Spirit .

This episode gives kids everyday examples of gentleness with their hands, their words, their friends and family, and even the way they talk to themselves. Sherri also helps kids look to Jesus as our best example of gentleness, using Matthew 11:29 as a simple reminder that Jesus is humble and gentle at heart. Whether your family listens together or your child listens independently, this episode is a gentle starting place for faith conversations with kids about what it looks like to follow Jesus in real life.
