Episode Transcription

Your words are steering your world. Mikel explains that what you say consistently shapes the atmosphere you lead in. Proverbs 18:21 reminds us that life and death are in the power of the tongue, meaning your language has creative potential.

He challenges listeners to audit their words—personally, publicly, and pastorally—and ask, “Do my words build faith or spread frustration?” Speak to strengthen, not to stir up strife.
