Podcasts about speaking life

Our words have power! In fact, Scriptures tell us that the power of death and life are in the tongue. Our words can build up or tear down. They can bring harm or bring healing. Since words flow from our hearts, what should we do? How can we tame our tongues to be instruments of God's power and grace?

This week Pastor Darrin continues his series on the Ten Commandments as he talks about speaking life not death.

This week felt heavy. With everything going on in the world and the sudden loss of Charlie Kirk, we wanted to sit down and talk honestly about something that every single one of us wrestles with: how do you actually disagree well? Not just in politics or online arguments, but in your marriage, your friendships, and your faith.We didn't come into this episode with a script, just an urge to talk through what the Bible says about conflict, humility, forgiveness, and love when it's hard. Together, we walked through verses that keep us grounded (Ephesians 5:21, James 4:6, Proverbs 15:1, Colossians 3:13, Romans 12:15) and shared the real ways these play out in our own marriage, the messy arguments, the moments we've had to swallow pride, and the times we've chosen to forgive first.This isn't about winning debates. It's about remembering that people matter more than being right. It's about guarding your words, choosing humility over pride, and learning to pause before you say something that can't be unsaid.We hope this conversation encourages you to slow down, reflect, and take a fresh look at how you handle conflict in your own life. Because at the end of the day, we believe marriage, and every relationship, can be reset, refreshed, recharged, and restored.Send us a textSupport the showSUBSCRIBELIKE & SHAREWe want to hear from you.

In this episode, seniors Spencer Lee, Judson Estes, and Tate Ford break down how important it is that we are submitting the words we speak to the Lord. Together, the three dive into what the Bible says about the dangers of the tongue, as well as how this plays out in our world as high school students.

As the school year begins, it is the perfect time to pause and reflect on the words we speak over our children—and ourselves. In this episode, Lori shares a powerful parenting tip that helped shape the way she encouraged and corrected her children as a young mom raising eight kids.You will be challenged to reframe phrases like “good girl” or “bad boy” and instead use language that separates identity from behavior. Lori also explores how deeply rooted identity is—in Christ, not in performance—and how this truth brings freedom, hope, and healing.Whether you are parenting toddlers or teenagers, this episode will inspire you to choose words that build up, affirm truth, and point your children to their value in God's eyes.Key Takeaways:A simple but transformative shift in the way we praise and correctThe difference between labeling behavior and labeling identityWhy our identity in Christ is secure, no matter our mistakes or circumstancesEncouragement for moms to speak truth over themselvesResources Mentioned:Lullaby Albums by Christy Nockels: Be Held: Lullabies for the Beloved The King Who Never Sleeps: Anthems for RestEncouragement for Moms:"You are not defined by what you do or do not do.

The tongue is small, but its impact is mighty. In this episode, we explore how our speech can guide lives like a bridle guides a horse, or set entire worlds aflame. God's Word reminds us that the condition of our hearts is revealed through the words we speak. As followers of Christ, we are called to speak with grace, truth, and love—offering life instead of harm. Together, we'll uncover the heart transformation needed to tame the tongue and let our words honor the One we serve.

In this episode, I share the complex world of emotions, especially during these heightened times we find ourselves in. I share my personal experiences and insights on how to navigate intense feelings while maintaining a positive trajectory in both life and business. I begin by discussing the importance of subconscious reprogramming and nervous system regulation, which have been crucial tools for me in managing my emotions. A recent conversation with a client sparked my interest in the concept of "depersonalizing emotions." I explain how learning to shift to a neutral state can save us time, energy, and resources, allowing us to rewrite our stories more effectively.

In Episode 25 of Alphas Make Sandwiches, Ashe in America, Abbey Blue Eyes, Jackie Espada, and Shipwreck gather for a laid-back yet meaningful conversation on navigating seasonal transitions, both in the calendar and in life. With summer in full swing, the ladies reflect on the shift in pace, expectations, and energy that comes with this time of year. They talk about the challenge of balancing rest with responsibility, the pressure to constantly “do,” and how to find peace and purpose in stillness. The discussion moves into deeper territory as they explore the power of words, the importance of intentional communication, and how the things we say, to ourselves and to others, can either heal or harm. It's an encouraging, honest, and refreshingly relatable episode full of grace, laughter, and real talk about giving yourself permission to slow down, reset, and speak life into your world.

As far as God is concerned the words that we speak have great power. The right word, spoken at the right time, can change someone's life for the good.  And the wrong word, spoken at the wrong time, can crush someone's spirit. Words can start a fight, words can start a war and yet words can reconcile and heal relationships.  Our words have disproportionate power.

Whether you're leading a team, raising kids, or just trying to navigate the tension between honesty and honor, this one will rewire the way you think about your mouth.DOWNLOAD THE SHOW NOTES

Today, we're discussing the recent controversy surrounding Shiloh Hendrix, who called a black child a racial slur at a playground instead of taking the concern to the child's parents. This behavior is not only unacceptable—it's unchristian. As followers of Christ, we are called to be above reproach (1 Timothy 3:2), especially when dealing with the next generation. God will not judge us by our skin color, so why are we so quick to judge others by theirs? We can simultaneously be aware of the statistics about certain cultures within particular races, and realize that this is not how we handle those problems. We'll explore the biblical approach to conflict resolution. When there's a problem with a child's behavior, the godly route is to speak directly with their parents—not to attack the child. Christians must hold one another accountable. --https://policecoffee.com/collections/coffee

Drawing from studies by Bobby Harrington and insights from Ephesians 4, they emphasize the importance of lowering the bar for entry into ministry while increasing support and accountability. The discussion highlights the need to break down the professional laity divide, allowing everyone to participate fully in God's work. Personal anecdotes illustrate how ordinary individuals, regardless of their backgrounds or roles, can be used powerfully by God. The episode closes with a call to action for both church leaders and individual believers to embrace their roles in the Kingdom and equip others to do the same.   Get Discipleship.org's premium Podcast Feed: https://disciplemakerspodcast.supercast.com/    Key Takeaways    00:00 Welcome Back to The Disciple Maker's Podcast 00:36 Introduction to Disciple Making Principles 01:12 Principle #7: Equipping and Releasing the Priesthood 01:51 The Shift from Old Covenant to New 02:46 Breaking Down Professional Ministry 04:35 Practical Steps for Church Leaders 06:12 Encouraging and Empowering Believers 06:37 Personal Testimonies and Experiences 11:32 The Importance of Speaking Life into Others 12:20 Early Preaching Experiences 13:58 The Rat Trap Illustration 14:25 Early Preaching Experiences 14:57 Mentorship and Opportunities 15:49 Equipping and Releasing the Priesthood 18:11 Lowering the Bar of Entry 18:21 Personal Responsibility in Ministry 19:31 Empowering Individuals for Ministry 24:33 The Power of God in Everyone 26:41 Encouraging Initiative in Ministry 29:34 Conclusion and Resources   Check out our Blogs: https://discipleship.org/blog/  See Below for a longer description: The episode kicks off with Josh and Jason having some fun, channeling their inner newscasters as they introduce The Disciple Maker's Podcast. Right away, they hit on the heart of the conversation: the Church isn't just for professionals — every believer is called and equipped to take part in the mission. This episode dives into one of the ten core disciple-making principles: activating the priesthood of all believers, a concept drawn from Bobby Harrington and Discipleship.org. Josh and Jason unpack how the Church often sidelines most people, treating ministry like a spectator sport — a few “professionals” on the court, while the rest just watch from the stands. But Jesus calls everyone to get in the game, and the Holy Spirit gives us all what we need to play. They explore the shift from the Old Covenant, where only priests (Levites) had access to God, to the New Covenant — where all believers are invited to serve and represent Him directly. It's a powerful reminder that ministry isn't reserved for a select few. Josh also highlights the common “professional vs. laity” gap in churches and argues for lowering the barriers so anyone can step into ministry, with the right support and accountability along the way. He shares his own story — starting as a nervous, underprepared teenager giving his first sermon with a makeshift object lesson — and how mentors spotted potential and gave him room to grow. That experience shaped his path and reinforced the power of empowering others before they feel “ready.” Josh and Jason also push church leaders to create meaningful opportunities beyond simple Sunday roles like handing out bulletins. The goal? Equip people to share the gospel and make disciples, not just fill a slot. One story really drives this home: Josh tells of a woman in his church who felt called to serve in nursing homes. When she asked if she needed permission, Josh simply told her to go for it — God had already called her. They wrap up by encouraging leaders to remove obstacles, invest in people, and hold them accountable as they step into ministry — because when the Church unleashes the priesthood of all believers, lives change. Josh closes with a reminder: the same Spirit that raised Jesus lives in every believer, so there's no need to wait for permission. He invites listeners to check out resources at Discipleship.org and teases the next episode, where the conversation will continue
