Words that Wound and Tear Down

Описание: In this episode, we look at words that wound people and tear them down, and why Scripture takes our speech so seriously. Proverbs tells us that life and death are in the power of the tongue, because words are never neutral.
They shape relationships, reveal what’s going on in the heart, and leave marks that can last a long time. We talk about harsh and angry words, cutting criticism, gossip, and the habit of “just being honest,” and we contrast those with words that give life, or words that encourage, comfort, and point people to the gospel. This conversation is an invitation to slow down, listen carefully, and learn to speak with wisdom and grace.
