Ep 32 - Tesco, A Tattoo, And A Test Of Mercy

Send us Fan MailA quiet ask at the supermarket entrance turned into a hard look at my own heart. A woman stopped me and asked for knickers—not cash, not sympathy, just a basic need met with dignity. I did the mental maths, offered the cheapest option, and then walked away when she chose the pair that would actually serve her. Minutes later I still had money in my hand, conviction in my chest, and a car park full of reasons to ignore the nudge to go back.I unpack what happened next: the swirl of fear and judgement, the memory of being stranded years ago and how one stranger bought me a single fare home, and the sting of scriptures that refuse to let faith live only in words. Hebrews 13:2 and James 2:17 meet in a very normal aisle and ask a very direct question—if the Spirit prompts, will I obey even when the act is small and my pride is loud? We talk about practical mercy: how to balance caution with compassion, why dignity often costs a little more, and how boundaries can coexist with generosity without turning love into suspicion.This story is not polished. It is unfiltered, ordinary, and true. I share it because small obedience shapes big character, and the kingdom often moves through simple acts that restore comfort and worth. If you’ve ever hesitated at the edge of a kind act, this conversation will help you name the fear, silence the excuses, and choose the next faithful yes. Listen, reflect, and then tell me: when did a tiny decision test your faith and change your day?
