Your words are powerful… they shape your life, steer your direction, and leave a legacy long after they’re spoken. In Part 5 of our Wisdom That Works series, Pastor Jonathan explores the wisdom of controlling our tongue and using our speech not for destruction, but to bring life! 

Key Takeaways 

• Our Words Steer Our Lives – Like a bit in a horse’s mouth or a rudder on a ship, your words set your direction.
• What’s Down in the Well Comes Up in the Bucket – Your words reveal what fills your heart (Luke 6:45).
• We’re Either Building or Bulldozing – Words can wound (careless, harsh, deceptive, negative, corrupt) or heal (honest, gracious, timely, edifying)
• Restrain and Release – Wisdom knows when to be slow to speak and when to speak with power, truth, and kindness (James 1:19–20).

You can’t control every situation, but you can control what comes out of your mouth. Speak life, not death, and watch how wisdom transforms your world!
