Words are more powerful than we realize—capable of building up or tearing down, blessing or cursing, creating or destroying. In James 3, we see that the tongue is like a fire, small but capable of immense devastation. Join us as we explore the power of our words, the weight they carry, and how we can use them to bring life instead of harm.
