"Nice" Isn't a Fruit of the Spirit. Ryan Miller on The Hidden Power of Meekness and the Distraction Keeping Us From Intimacy with Jesus

Perhaps you have learned to be agreeable rather than obedient, careful rather than courageous, quiet enough never to be accused of pride, and somewhere along the way you began calling that Christlikeness. If the fire you once carried has been sanded down into something polite and manageable, and your faith feels safe, tidy, and strangely powerless, you may have mistaken being nice for being meek, and those have never been the same thing. Ryan Miller joins me to recover a virtue the church has traded for a counterfeit.
