Sound speech isn't about being loud, clever, or emotional - it's about being healthy, steady, and aligned with God's truth. The real issue isn't whether people understand your vocabulary, but whether your life matches what you're saying. Paul addresses faith before speech in Titus because whatever you truly believe will eventually show up in your words and actions. Speech is the fruit, but faith is the root. The most condemnable speech in Scripture isn't heresy but hypocrisy - pretending you didn't stumble instead of being authentic about your struggles. God isn't looking for perfect pitch, but He is asking for a willingness to be tuned and aligned with His truth.
