The human tongue has real power. By our words, we can choose to reflect the image of God and to bring life and blessing to others, or we can speak death and deface the beauty and goodness of the world around us. In this conversation, Fr. Michael, Mary Bielski, and Laura Shoulders discuss the power of the tongue and the importance of our words. They highlight the biblical principle that our words have a creative power to either bless or curse, while emphasizing the need for awareness of our language and its impact within the spiritual realm.

The speakers share personal stories and practical tips for speaking life and building others up -- stories which highlight our need for intentionality and vulnerability in speech, and for surrounding ourselves with a culture of honor.
