🎧 PART 2 — RESPECT: Reverence, Recognition & the Real Work | The Wrong Words PodcastWhat if respect is less about what people do to you and more about what you carry inside you? In Part 2 of our Respect two-parter, Oliver Marcelle and Luvon Dungee dig into the roots—Hebrew, Greek, Aramaic—and push the conversation from “disrespect” dramas to something deeper: reverence, recognition, and the difference between respect without evaluation and respect with evaluation. This episode is part philosophy, part practical guide for how to show up calmer, clearer, and more whole.🧠 In this episode, we explore:Why Hebrew/Greek/Aramaic words point to reverence, veneration, and honor—and why that flips the modern scriptThe idea that some definitions were skewed to create an externalized, judgmental view of respectRecognition (respect due to all people) vs. Appraisal (earned respect) — and why both matterHow your level of self-respect changes what you attract (fear vs. freedom framing)📚 We unpack:Original-language meanings (Yara, veneration, tahara) that point inward, not outward1 Peter 2:17 and what “show proper respect to everyone” looks like in practiceReal-life examples: when a “disrespect” is actually something you opened the door for, and when it isn’tPractical differences between recognition respect (inherent dignity) and appraisal respect (earned credentials/skill)💥 Key moments include:The “words were crafted to hold power” stretch — fascinating and provocativeThe blind-assistance anecdote: why “helping” can actually be disrespectful without consentThe cut/healing analogy: little interventions + leave it alone = natural healing (and the role of self-respect)The blunt energy rule: “If you don’t pick it up, it won’t get in you.”🛠️ You’ll walk away with:A clearer, two-track definition of respect you can use in relationships and leadershipLanguage to separate “feeling disrespected” from actual disrespect (less reactivity, more agency)Practical prompts for shifting from fear-based responses to freedom-based actionConversation starters to use with partners, family, or teams about standards vs. expectations🎧 This episode is brought to you by Community Solutions — a mission-driven partner in community revitalization, housing counseling, and tailored design/build services.
