Week 6 - mistakes, the cross and scare them

This week’s trio came together around a simple but not-always-easy idea: kindness isn’t passive. Sometimes it comforts. Sometimes it challenges. Sometimes it makes people shift in their seats.

Mistakes Make Me

A reminder that we are not the polished end product, but the work in progress. Every dropped stitch, every wrong turn, every “well, that didn’t go to plan” moment becomes part of the fabric. Mistakes don’t undo us. They shape us. They add texture, depth, story. This panel feels like permission — to learn out loud, to keep going, to stop pretending we’ve got it all figured out.

The Cross

There is nothing quiet or polite about faith. And there is nothing holy about using it to cause harm.

This panel comes from a place of deep frustration with the way Christianity, and faith more broadly, is sometimes twisted into a justification for cruelty, exclusion, or judgement. That is not my faith.

Jesus was a revolutionary. He challenged systems, flipped tables, disrupted the status quo and made people deeply uncomfortable. And he did it all rooted in kindness, compassion and radical love. Not the soft, sentimental kind — the brave kind.

Scare Them With Kindness

This panel leans into the idea that kindness can be bold. Even confrontational. Especially when it refuses to play by the rules of bitterness or retaliation.

Kindness doesn’t mean being small, silent, or agreeable. Sometimes it looks like holding your ground with warmth. Sometimes it looks like generosity that unsettles people who were expecting sharp edges. Choosing kindness — again and again — can be disarming. It can challenge assumptions. It can make people stop and rethink.
