We’ve all felt it—the weight of words. The ones spoken over us, and the ones we speak to others.

Jesus calls us to recognize the power our words carry—that they can speak life, or cause more damage than we realize. He invites us to slow down and consider the person in front of us, the moment we’re in, and what’s actually needed to build others up.

Because our words don’t just reflect what’s happening inside us… they help shape what happens next.
