Taming the Tongue

Words can build empires or destroy relationships in seconds. In this powerful episode, we explore the quiet danger of gossip and slander that often infiltrates our daily conversations without us even realizing it. Drawing wisdom from Ephesians 4:29, we unpack what "corrupt communication" really means and why replacing it with edifying speech transforms not just our relationships, but our own hearts.

Have you ever justified talking about someone because you were "just concerned" about them? We reveal how gossip cleverly disguises itself as care or casual conversation when it's actually rooted in judgment. The episode offers a practical three-question test to apply before speaking: Is it true? Is it kind? Is it necessary? This simple framework helps us pause and consider our words before they cause damage we can't undo.

The most valuable takeaway might be our actionable strategies for maintaining pure speech: speaking to people instead of about them, redirecting gossip-filled conversations, praying instead of complaining, and recognizing when silence is the holiest choice. These aren't just nice ideas—they're spiritual practices that reshape our character. Whether you struggle with office gossip, family drama, or social media commentary, this episode provides the guidance needed to let your words bring encouragement instead of division. Listen now and begin transforming your conversations with grace and wisdom today.
