Proverbs 18: The Words That Shape You | Day 18 | 31 Days in Proverbs

Описание: In Day 18 of 31 Days in Proverbs, we’re sitting with Proverbs 18 and letting wisdom speak to one of the most overlooked parts of becoming — our words.

This chapter reminds us that what we speak isn’t small. Words don’t just communicate what we’re thinking… they reveal what’s living inside of us. Proverbs 18 invites us to slow down and recognize that the way we speak — to others and to ourselves — has the power to shape our peace, our relationships, and our identity.

One of the most grounding truths in this chapter is that the tongue carries the power of life and death. Not in a dramatic way — in a daily way. In the tone we use. In the way we respond when we’re triggered. In the words we choose when we’re tired, hurt, or overwhelmed. Proverbs 18 reminds us that wisdom isn’t just knowing what’s true… it’s choosing to speak from a healed place, not a wounded one.

Proverbs 18 teaches us that emotional maturity isn’t proven by how much we can say — it’s proven by how well we can pause. How well we can listen. How well we can resist the urge to defend ourselves, prove a point, or speak too quickly. Because the woman who is becoming doesn’t use her mouth to release chaos — she learns how to speak with intention, clarity, and restraint.

This study is for the woman who’s learning how to guard her mouth, communicate with wisdom, and stop letting emotions lead the conversation — especially in moments where silence, prayer, and self-control are the real breakthrough.

In this video, we explore:
