Jared continues the series on the book of Proverbs by exploring Proverbs 18. He emphasizes the power of words, noting that the tongue holds the power of life and death. Jared encourages the audience to listen in order to understand, rather than just to respond, and to be mindful of how their words can build up or tear down others. He also highlights the importance of surrounding oneself with friends who speak life and encourage a closer relationship with Jesus, urging listeners to consider the impact their words and friendships have on themselves and others.
