Ed Squire is the founder and host of the Visible Kindness Podcast, where he explores the intersection of faith, kindness, healing, and the power of personal stories. Through honest conversations with guests and thought-provoking solo episodes, Ed encourages people to rediscover their identity, live with compassion, and find hope even in life's most difficult seasons.

Drawing from his own journey through childhood trauma, recovery, brain surgery, and a renewed understanding of God's grace, Ed shares biblical insights alongside real-life experiences that inspire others to see themselves—and those around them—through the eyes of Christ. His passion is helping people discover that kindness is not weakness but strength, and that every story has the power to change a life.

Many Christians know Jesus' command to "love your neighbor as yourself," but what exactly did He mean?

In this solo Visible Kindness episode, Ed takes a closer look at Matthew 22 and Luke 10 to explore one of the most quoted teachings in Scripture. Along the way, he wrestles with a question that many trauma survivors face:

What if you don't love yourself?

Through personal reflection and biblical study, Ed shares how years of trauma affected the way he viewed himself and how Scripture ultimately transformed that understanding.

This episode examines the difference between modern ideas of self-love and the biblical identity found in Christ. Rather than focusing on self-esteem, Ed argues that true healing begins when we learn to see ourselves the way God sees us—adopted, forgiven, redeemed, and deeply loved.
