World Kindness Day

Every year, people worldwide celebrate World Kindness Day on November 13, hoping to inspire a bit more kindness in everyone. For members of Fellowship of Business Minds, it’s a time to return to our source of inspiration and reflect on how embracing the principle of loving our neighbors in business influences our Christian calling to serve others. As mission-driven businesspeople, we understand that kindness isn’t just for a single day—it’s not a trend that comes and goes; rather, it’s at the core of who we are and what we do.

In the Bible, kindness is depicted as both a divine and human virtue. Galatians 5:22 lists kindness as one of the fruits of the Spirit, encouraging us to let it characterize all that we do. For Christian business leaders, this could mean serving customers ethically, treating employees with compassion, or using profits to uplift those in need. The kindness we extend should not only appear in occasional grand gestures but in consistent small acts that build trust, inspire confidence, and encourage others to act with the same compassion.

To honor World Kindness Day, let’s take a moment to consider how we can consciously incorporate kindness into our businesses. This might look like being patient during a challenging conversation, offering grace when a coworker or business partner makes a mistake, or lending our expertise to help a struggling entrepreneur. When we allow kindness to shape our interactions with employees, clients, and the broader world, our businesses become places where God’s love is made visible in tangible ways.

Let’s remember that there’s no such thing as a small act of kindness in today’s world. At Fellowship of Business Minds, we believe that when kindness is the foundation of a business, it transforms that business into a ministry of hope, support, and faith.
