Summary
Do you ever have moments when your words get the best of you?
Maybe it’s complaining or yelling when deep down, you really want to be a person who speaks with kindness and grace. Maybe you know how much your words hurt, but you say them anyway because it feels good in the moment. Or maybe you spout off, shut down, or spit out some ugly words without even thinking about it.
Whatever your “maybe” may be, you’re in the right place.
Today on the 4:13, author Sarah Molitor shares some tough lessons she learned about how words can hurt—but they can also help and heal. She’ll give you practical tools to help you choose your words so they reflect the heart of Jesus.
Plus, I’ll finish this episode with a song asking God to help us use our words well, so be sure to listen to the very end.
