S1E9: Train Your Mouth for Marriage - "What's Down in the Well Comes Up in the Bucket"

Scott & Dawn Smith are leading a series on Wednesday nights for couples at Lakewood called, "Train Your Mouth for Marriage." In this 5 part series, the Smiths are unpacking the importance of our words and the impact they can have on our spouse - either for good or for bad.

On this episode of the FM Podcast, the Smiths share with us Part 2 entitled "What's Down in the Well Comes Up in the Bucket." The Smiths look at Luke 6:45 where Jesus says, "The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks." Our words reveal what is in our heart. The Smiths explain that If we really want to control our tongues - knowing what to say, when to say it, and when to say nothing at all - we need to drill down deeper to what is really in our heart and mind in order to move toward helpful and effective communication.
