About this listen

Teaching from Justin Weece | June 15, 2025

James 3:1-12

We've all experienced the power of words. Words have a way of forming us—they stick with us long after they're spoken, shaping how we see ourselves and the world around us. Someone said it like this: words create worlds. On this Father's Day, we're especially reminded of how much the words of father figures shape our lives. The book of James reminds us that our words have incredible weight—they can build people up or tear them down, create connection or destroy relationships. The way we speak reveals what's really going on in our hearts, and learning to control our tongues for what matters most is one of the most practical ways faith shows up in everyday life.
