Patience isn’t pretending you don’t care, and it isn’t sitting in a corner waiting for life to start. In this episode, we talk about patience as the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5) and how that changes the way singles—and everyone—walk through delayed hopes, misunderstood seasons, and unanswered timelines. We also unpack why “God is teaching you patience so you’ll get your reward” is not the gospel, and what it means to trust God without negotiating the terms.

Kindness gets confused with being “nice,” but the Bible paints something deeper: kindness is active goodwill that moves toward others for their good—sometimes gently, sometimes firmly. In this episode, Natasha, Monique, and David unpack kindness as a fruit of the Spirit, why God’s kindness leads to repentance, and how Jesus shows kindness without enabling sin. They also talk about kindness as a single person, boundaries, the “pay-it-forward” guilt trap, and why doing the right thing for the right reason matters.

In this episode of the Route 77 Podcast, Natasha, Monique, and David keep journeying backwards through the fruit of the Spirit and land on one that often feels… underwhelming: goodness. In a world where “good” sounds like the bare minimum—good day, good meal, good enough—they unpack why Scripture treats goodness as something far richer: moral beauty in action, not just avoiding bad behaviour.

The three of them wrestle with big questions: How is the goodness of Jesus different from the “goodness” of the Pharisees? How do we tell the difference between genuine spiritual fruit and a carefully polished image? And what do we do with church hurt, false teachers, and believers who feel blindsided by leaders they trusted?

Natasha also takes us to Acts 9 and the story of Tabitha (Dorcas), a woman whose quiet, faithful goodness made her so deeply loved that her community could hardly imagine life without her. Together, they reflect on legacy, funerals, and what people might honestly say if we were gone tomorrow.

Whether you’re single, married, or somewhere in between, this episode is an invitation to ask: Am I becoming the kind of person whose goodness reflects Christ—and whose absence would be truly felt?
