✨ Welcome to Deserts & Gardens Podcast! ✨

In this episode, we’re talking about the power of keeping your word. In a world where commitments are often broken, God calls us to be people of integrity. Whether it’s in marriage, friendships, or our faith, our words should reflect our character. We’ll discuss why keeping your promises matters, how to rebuild trust if you’ve fallen short, and how to honor God with your commitments.


📖 Key Topics:

  • Why keeping your word builds trust in relationships
  • How integrity reflects your faith
  • The consequences of breaking promises
  • Practical ways to follow through on your commitments


📖 Key Verses:

  • Matthew 5:37 – "Let what you say be simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything more than this comes from evil."
  • Proverbs 10:9 – "Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but he who makes his ways crooked will be found out."
  • Ecclesiastes 5:4-5 – "When you make a vow to God, do not delay to fulfill it. He has no pleasure in fools; fulfill your vow. It is better not to make a vow than to make one and not fulfill it."


💬 Let’s continue the conversation!
