    In this steep, Aundrea talks about ways to move towards gentleness by cultivating humility.  She shares three key aspects of humility based off of Dr. Daryl van Tongeren's book 'Humble:' knowing yourself, checking yourself, and going beyond yourself. She emphasizes the importance of being curious about oneself, one's reactions, and others.  By practicing these principles, one can foster a habit of humility, which ultimately enhances gentleness.00:00 Introduction and Welcome 00:07 Exploring Gentleness and Deference 00:44 The Role of Humility in Gentleness 01:17 Understanding Humility: Knowing Yourself 02:04 Understanding Humility: Checking Yourself 02:58 Understanding Humility: Going Beyond Yourself 03:57 Conclusion and Final Thoughts --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/riseandform/support

    A little cup of Joy for your Monday but before you take a sip...It's crucial to distinguish between joy and happiness. Abe drops some C.S. Lewis in here and even attempts some greek translation. What is even happening?! Rise and Form is happening! While happiness is often fleeting and tied to external factors, joy is characterized by maturity, clarity, peace and contentment that persists even amid trials. This distinction aligns with psychological insights suggesting that true joyful fulfillment comes from internal rather than external sources. The pursuit of joy, therefore, should not mirror hedonistic tendencies where one seeks pleasure as an end goal but should focus on cultivating a deeper relationship with God! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/riseandform/support
