About this listen

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?
