About this episode

This episode discusses the power of words and the importance of speaking gently and graciously.

Words are powerful. They can shrink us, define us, and follow us for years — long after the person who said them has forgotten they ever spoke.But the same tongue that tears down can learn to build up.

That's the Spirit at work. "A gentle tongue is a tree of life." — Proverbs 15:4What would it look like today to speak words that give life instead of take it? Reference: Ephesians 4:29 Prayer: Jesus, I’m sorry for the times when my words have been foul, hurtful, bitter, or harsh toward others and toward myself. Thank You for Your incredible, unmerited forgiveness. Please help me to speak gracious words that build others up and give grace to those who hear instead of words that only make me feel better for the moment. In Jesus’s name, amen. Discover more Christian podcasts at  LifeAudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at…
