Episode Synopsis

Words shape lives — and reveal hearts.

This week, Trey Wood (our illustrious worship pastor) taught from James 3:1–12, showing why our tongues are small but powerful: they can steer, scorch, or speak life. We don’t just manage our words; we surrender our hearts to the Holy Spirit and let Him transform what we say.

Message highlights:
• Teachers, tread carefully. Those who explain God’s Word are held to a stricter evaluation—our words carry eternal weight.
• Tiny tongue, huge impact. Like a bit, rudder, and spark, our speech directs lives and can destroy when unchecked.
• No one can tame it… but God can. The tongue exposes the heart; only the Spirit changes the source.
• Blessing vs. cursing. Praising God while tearing down His image-bearers is spiritual nonsense—fresh and bitter water can’t flow from the same spring.
• Pursue transformation, not just filters. Word + prayer + accountability → a heart renewed and a tongue that heals, encourages, and speaks the gospel.
