Empowered Speech: Stewarding Our Words Wisely #76

Stewarding Your Words: Speak Life, Build Up, and Reflect Christ | Stewardship Series

In this Stewardship Series episode of the Next Level Her podcast, Pauline teaches on stewarding our words as a discipleship journey through scripture, connecting last week’s focus on the heart (Proverbs 4:23) to speech through Luke 6:45 and Proverbs 18:21, which highlight that words flow from the heart and carry the power of life and death. Using Ephesians 4:29, she challenges listeners to avoid unwholesome talk and instead speak words that build others up with grace, asking questions like whether what we say is true, loving, necessary, and honoring to God. She references Isaiah’s cleansing and Jesus’ purposeful, grace-filled speech, offers reflection prompts about how we speak to others and ourselves, assigns a seven-day speech challenge, and previews next week’s topic on stewarding our bodies.
