Send us Fan MailYour words can encourage, heal, inspire, and build—but they can also discourage, divide, and destroy.In this episode of Gospel Unfiltered, host Cornell Bunting explores the biblical importance of the words we speak over ourselves, our children, our relationships, our health, our purpose, and our future.This conversation examines what people really mean when they say, “Speak it into existence,” while making an important biblical distinction: believers are called to speak God's truth, pray in faith, act in obedience, and trust God with the outcome.Through Scripture and personal reflection, Cornell discusses the power of the tongue, the danger of gossip, the importance of speaking life over young people, and why faith-filled words must always be supported by wisdom, preparation, responsibility, and action.This episode will challenge you to examine your daily language and ask:Are my words producing life, fear, faith, healing, or destruction?Join us as we go Beyond the Pulpit for honest conversations, real stories, and Kingdom truth.New episodes air every Friday.

When life changes in an instant, where do you turn?This week on the Anchored by the Sword Podcast, I'm honored to welcome Gail Schaar, who shares the incredible story of walking through a breast cancer diagnosis while choosing to anchor herself—not in fear, not in statistics, and not even in her diagnosis—but in the unchanging truth of God's Word.After being diagnosed with two types of breast cancer in April 2025, Gail found herself facing the whirlwind that so many people experience after hearing the words, "You have cancer." So many thoughts, opinions and other people's experiences were thrown in her direction and fear tried to take over.But God had a different plan.Out of this journey came her devotional, I Am Not a Cancer Patient, a book that challenges believers to examine what Scripture actually says about healing, identity, and the power of God's promises.Whether you're walking through cancer, another illness, grief, infertility, divorce, or any difficult season, this conversation is a reminder that our identity is never found in our circumstances—it is found in Christ alone.In this episode, we discuss:Gail's unexpected breast cancer diagnosis in 2025.Why your diagnosis should never become your identity.The difference between acknowledging sickness and accepting it as who you are.Finding peace instead of fear during difficult medical decisions.Why God's Word became Gail's greatest source of strength.The importance of speaking Scripture over your life.Biblical healing and why Gail encourages believers to search the Scriptures for themselves.How God called her to write I Am Not a Cancer Patient.The story behind TenTwentyThreePress and the significance of Hebrews 10:23.Encouragement for anyone walking through a difficult diagnosis or life challenge.One of my favorite takeaways from this conversation is this:The enemy wants us to build our identity around our diagnosis, but God calls us to build our identity around His promises.No matter what you're facing today, this episode is an encouragement to hold tightly to God's Word, trust His faithfulness, and remember that your circumstances never have the final say.Bio:Gail Schaar is a warrior, speaker, and creator who believes in the power of God's Word. As a cancer survivor, she knows exactly how the enemy tries to steal your identity through lies and deception. She wrote her debut devotional, I Am Not a Cancer Patient,  to share her real-life victory and spark a fire in your faith.Gail's message is clear: the enemy is a liar—do not accept his attacks. You have the authority to stand up, fight, and defeat him. And when God is on your side, you cannot lose.Gail and her husband, Zach, are the founders of TenTwentyThree Press, a media and publishing company that creates social media content and digital products. They live in Northeast Ohio, with their two daughters, where they are active members of Faith Family Church.Anchor Verses:Mark 11: 23-24Hebrews 10:23 Connect with Gail:Website: gailschaar.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@gailandzachshowI Am Not a Cancer Patient is available on Amazon and the link is on Gail's website.***We love hearing from you!

What are the words your children hear from you the most? Correction? Instruction? Or affirmation? Before Jesus performed a single miracle or preached a single sermon, God the Father publicly declared, "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased." (Matthew 3:17) Those words affirmed Jesus' identity before His ministry ever began. What if our children regularly heard those same kinds of life-giving words from us? In Episode 304 of The Family Meeting Podcast, we discuss the incredible power of parental affirmation and why every child needs to hear, "Well done. I'm pleased with you." In this episode, we cover: Why affirmation is essential for a child's emotional and spiritual development. What we can learn from God's words to Jesus at His baptism. The difference between affirming your child's identity and praising their performance. How your words shape your child's confidence and self-worth. Practical ways to intentionally encourage your children every day. Biblical principles for speaking life into your family. Your children will hear many voices telling them who they are. Make sure the loudest and most consistent voice is yours. Your words have the power to build confidence, strengthen relationships, and point your children toward the unconditional love of their Heavenly Father.

JYour words are way more powerful than you think. This message dives into how one sentence can shape someone's identity, wreck a relationship, or literally change the direction of a life—for good or bad. We talk about reckless “jokes,” gossip, online comments, and the self-talk running in your head 24/7. You'll see how your mouth exposes what's really in your heart, why hurt people hurt people with their words, and how to flip the script—using your voice to speak life, call out potential, and bring healing instead of damage. If you've ever said, “I didn't mean it,” this is for you.

Is your life operating from a place of blessing, or are you constantly striving to earn it?In the kickoff message of our new summer series, Is This Thing On?, Travis Aicklen dives deep into the profound, exponential power of our words. Far from just a polite cliché or a quick response to a sneeze, a true biblical blessing is the projection of good into the life of another person. By examining the roots of the word—from the Old Testament Barak to the New Testament Eulogia—this sermon challenges us to break free from insecurity, comparison, and the "blessing deficit" that plagues so many families. Discover how to speak life, direct your future, and operate from the secure identity of being fully loved and blessed by God.Key Points & Scripture ReferencesWork From Blessing, Not For It: Before humanity ever accomplished a single task, God created and blessed them. Just like Jesus at his baptism, we are designed to work from a place of blessing and affirmation, rather than striving to earn it. (Genesis 1:27-29)The Danger of the Deficit: The story of Jacob highlights the brokenness and deception that occur when we live with an orphan spirit, desperately trying to scheme our way into receiving a blessing. (Genesis 27)Blessings Must Be Spoken Out Loud: A blessing isn't truly a blessing until it leaves your lips. We must actively and verbally "eulogize" (speak well of) the people in our lives to empower them. (Luke 24, Proverbs 31)Words Direct Our Future: Just like the rudder of a ship, the words we speak—whether blessings or curses—set the trajectory for our lives and the lives of those around us. (James 3)Our Spiritual Inheritance: Through Christ, we have been redeemed from the curse and have already been given every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places. We are blessed to be a blessing. (Ephesians 1, Galatians 3)Call to ActionTake a close inventory of your words this week. Are you withholding encouragement from your spouse, children, friends, or coworkers? Don't let your loved ones live with a blessing deficit. Step into your God-given authority, speak life over your family, and intentionally direct the course of their future with your words. If you are struggling with insecurity or an unhealed "orphan spirit," bring it to God and allow your church family to speak truth and blessing over you today.Join us Sundays at 8:30am or 10:30am.

Joshua BoydGenesis 5:3 – Adam became the father of a son, Seth, who was "just like him, in his very image."Main IdeaFatherhood is not simply a consequence of having children—it is a calling from God.Just as mothers reflect God's nurturing nature, fathers reflect God's nature as an initiator. God has designed fathers to plant seeds, start things, and help shape the next generation.Lessons from the First Father Adam became a father after sin entered the world.  Like every father since, Adam was imperfect.  Cain and Abel remind us that no parent gets everything right.  God does not require perfection; He calls fathers to reflect His image and remain faithful. The Purpose of a FatherThroughout Scripture, the word "father" often refers to an initiator or founder: Abraham is called the father of faith.  Israel (Jacob) became the father of a nation.  Fathers are called to begin, plant, and initiate. A father's role is to plant seeds—both natural and spiritual.The Power of InitiationGenesis 4:26 tells us that during the days of Seth and Enosh, people began to worship the Lord by name.Someone initiated a return to worship.The message suggests that Seth reflected Adam's image because Adam had returned to reflecting God's image. When fathers keep their eyes on the Heavenly Father, they influence generations that follow.A Word to Fathers You don't have to be perfect.  You can start planting new seeds today.  You can initiate forgiveness, faith, worship, encouragement, and purpose in your family.  What you model is often caught by your children more than it is taught. Speaking Life into the Next GenerationFathers plant seeds through: Encouragement  Confidence  Faith-filled words  Godly example  Intentional leadership Children need confidence, but they must also learn where their strength comes from—God.Working TogetherGod designed fathers and mothers with complementary purposes: Fathers initiate and plant.  Mothers nurture and help things grow.  Together they create an environment where God can bring increase. Beyond ParentingThis message applies to everyone.Every believer has: A God-given purpose  A calling  An anointing to fulfill that calling When we embrace God's purpose, we experience greater fruitfulness, effectiveness, and impact.TakeawayFatherhood is a calling to reflect the Heavenly Father, initiate what is good, and plant seeds that will impact future generations.As we follow Christ, our families, churches, workplaces, and communities benefit from the seeds we intentionally sow today.

You can have the perfect offer, the best strategy, and most polished brand. But why does it feel like something isn't landing? Like people are listening, but not buying. They're leaning in, but never fully committing.  In this episode, Emily unpacks the uncomfortable truth behind influence and leadership - why people respond the way they do, and how your internal state is shaping outcomes far more than people are willing to admit.

Unlock the secret to seeing God's supernatural power in your life through the words you speak, as Andrew shares powerful insights from Mark 11 about faith and authority.

There's something powerful about somebody speaking life into you before you even believe it yourself.This episode of The Vibe Podcast with Kelly Cardenas is all about the power of speaking life, planting seeds, and realizing years later that the words spoken over you were building roots the entire time. My mom and Pops used to tell me I was awesome, beautiful, gifted, capable, and destined for something bigger. Pops would always say, “You're the greatest… so act accordingly.” And honestly? At the time, I thought they were just being parents. You know… the unpaid hype squad with unlimited optimism and zero chill.But then life happened.They checked out early and went to Heaven, and suddenly I realized something that changed everything: they didn't just give me confidence… they gave me direction. Anytime I asked them a question they didn't know the answer to, they'd say, “I don't know… but I know someone who does,” and they would point my eyes toward the Lord.Now it all makes sense.They weren't trying to have all the answers. They were teaching me where to find them.In this heartfelt and transformational podcast episode, we unpack the blueprint found in Proverbs 13 and the daily impact of speaking life into people around us. Because words matter. Speaking life produces fruit. Wisdom grows in fertile soil. Pride destroys, but instruction builds. Hope fulfilled brings life to the bones. Walk with the wise and become wise. Discipline from love works. Doing right creates contentment. Doing wrong creates hunger.This conversation is about leadership, faith, mindset, purpose, emotional intelligence, personal growth, family legacy, spiritual growth, and the power of encouragement. It's about becoming the kind of person who speaks life into your spouse, your kids, your team, your friendships, your business, and even the stranger standing in front of you having a rough day at Target pretending they're “just tired.”Because maybe… just maybe… somebody is one life-giving sentence away from changing everything.If you've ever needed hope, direction, encouragement, wisdom, or a reminder that your words carry weight, this episode is for you.And here's the real question:Who in your life needs you to speak life into them today?#SpeakingLife #FaithPodcast #KellyCardenas #ChristianPodcast #PersonalGrowth #LeadershipPodcast #Mindset #Motivation #SpiritualGrowth #SelfDevelopment #Encouragement #PositiveMindset #Proverbs13 #Wisdom #PurposeDrivenLife #TheVibePodcast #InspirationalPodcast #Hope #LeadershipDevelopment #SpeakLife

Recorded Sunday, 03 May, 2026.Ps Paul Butler reflects on Jesus breathing on His disciples, God breathing life into Adam, and Ezekiel speaking to the valley of dry bones to show that the breath of God brings dead things to life. He encourages believers to live as Spirit-filled people who listen for God's voice, speak His words over impossible situations, and walk in their identity as children of God rather than victims of circumstance.

Pastor Tim hosts Reed and Naomi on the In the Room podcast to discuss Pastor Troy's sermon on sowing and reaping, focusing on how God's Word planted in us produces a greater harvest meant to overflow to others. Using Galatians 6:7, Luke 6:45, Proverbs 18:21, and Psalm 51:10, they emphasize that people are always sowing through words, thoughts, attitudes, and actions, and that the passage is both a warning and a promise. They contrast caution with intentionality, stress repentance when sowing “bad seed,” and highlight the lasting impact of words in families, workplaces, and self-talk. Practical steps include taking inventory of life-and-death speech, replacing harmful habits with life-giving words, using “breath prayers,” and creating daily action plans.

This week, we look at Ephesians 4:29-32 with a focus on our words and how life-giving speech can strengthen our relationships.

In this message from Ephesians 4:17–32, Pastor Jim shifts from identity to behavior, showing how a transformed life in Christ leads to transformed actions. He contrasts the “old self,” marked by futility, selfishness, and deceitful desires, with the “new self,” rooted in truth, awareness, and life in Jesus. The old way of living promises satisfaction but ultimately leads to emptiness, while the new way invites believers to actively put off harmful patterns and put on Christlike character through the renewal of the mind. This renewal is both a spiritual and intentional process, requiring daily decisions to reject falsehood and embrace truth. As believers grow in this new identity, their lives begin to reflect generosity, honesty, encouragement, and compassion. Pastor Jim emphasizes that this transformation is not just personal but communal. The new self builds up the body of Christ through truthful speech, generous action, and grace-filled words that strengthen others. Ultimately, this passage calls believers to live with intentional awareness, choosing obedience over old habits and displaying the character of Jesus in everyday life.

This episode is a little bit of everything and the kind of rambling conversation we love most. We share stories from recent adventures, including a trip to the Walmart Museum in Bentonville, a mission trip to Honduras (yes, there's a cow involved), and a few memorable characters along the way including Abraham the goat. We also talk about some meaningful ways people in our community are serving others, from caregiver support groups to a creative "Egg My Yard" fundraiser that's bringing neighbors together. But in the middle of all the stories, we land on a deeper question:  What is a lie you may be believing about yourself, and what does Scripture say is actually true?  We talk about the power of encouraging others, calling out the good we see in people, and remembering that God has uniquely gifted each of us to serve. Our March memory verse reminds us: "Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms." 1 Peter 4:10–11 So whether you're listening for the laughs, the life updates, or the encouragement, we hope this episode reminds you of one simple truth: You were created on purpose, and your life is meant to bless others.

Speaking life is an absolute cheat code for leadership, relationships, and personal growth—and Proverbs 1 shows us exactly how to do it. In this episode of The VIBE with Kelly Cardenas, we unpack Proverbs 1, the wisdom cycle, and the simple 1-2-3 framework that transforms people, cultures, and communities.Proverbs 1 teaches us that speaking life isn't just positive talk—it's wisdom in action. When wisdom, instruction, prudence, discernment, understanding, and the fear of God fill your heart, they naturally overflow through your words and guide your actions. Speaking life becomes effortless when love and wisdom are the source.I've seen speaking life heal relationships in real time, strengthen teams over the long haul, and transform people right in front of me—including my own journey. Attention, time, and intentional conversation can heal almost anything when speaking life is at the center of it.Proverbs 1 delivers on all cylinders:To truly commit to speaking life, you must know what it is, understand its benefits, and practice it consistently. Preparation matters—because when you speak life, you're building people, and people are how wars are won before they ever begin.Here's the simple 1-2-3 framework for speaking life every day:1️⃣ Use a person's name2️⃣ Call out something specific about them that inspired you3️⃣ Rinse and repeatThat's it.This approach builds relationships, marriages, friendships, teams, companies, cultures, churches, hospitality organizations, sports teams—and most importantly, people. As Pops always said: When you build the people and allow the people to build the business, you're cooking with gas.Speaking life starts with love and wisdom in the heart—and the overflow blesses everyone around you.So the real question is: Why don't we do this more often?

What if you could design a career that gave you flexibility for your family, fulfillment in your work, and the freedom to follow your passions? That's exactly what Elyse Sheeler did when she created her private practice, Speaking Life: Speech Therapy and Wellness, in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin.Elyse is a speech-language pathologist who began her career in skilled nursing, inspired by her grandmother's journey with Alzheimer's. After years of working across medical, outpatient, and school settings, she started to crave more control over her time and the freedom to integrate her interests — particularly wellness and Myofunctional therapy into her work.When Elyse became a mom, her priorities shifted. Between long IEP meetings, school schedules, and a growing family, she began questioning if she could maintain her demanding school SLP job while being fully present at home.Her turning point came after her son's experience with a tongue-tie — a moment that ignited her passion for myofunctional therapy and holistic family wellness. Realizing how few local providers addressed these needs, she decided to build a practice where she could offer the kind of care she wished she'd had for her own family.Starting small, Elyse launched Speaking Life while still working part-time in the schools. One referral led to another, and soon she was running her own practice full-time. With support from the Start and Grow Your Private Practice Programs, she created systems, clarified her mission, and built a business that reflected both her values and her lifestyle.In this episode, we talk about how Elyse serves children and families through Speaking Life: Speech Therapy and Wellness, integrating speech-language pathology, Myofunctional therapy, and family wellness education. She also hosts the podcast Speaking Life into Motherhood, where she helps other moms find balance and purpose through mindful living and holistic health.In Today's Episode, We Discuss:Transitioned from full-time school SLP to private practice ownerFound her niche in Myofunctional therapy and holistic wellnessCreated a lifestyle practice that supports both her family and her purposeElyse's story is a reminder that private practice isn't just about leaving a job—it's about designing a life. By following her instincts, defining her “why,” and building a mission-centered practice, she created the freedom to be both the mom and clinician she always wanted to be.Want to build a private practice that gives you freedom, flexibility, and fulfillment—just like Elyse has?

How Discipline, Speaking Life, and the Rule of 10 Create Explosive Growth in Faith-Based Leadership and Team CultureIf you've ever wondered why your business isn't growing, what if the real issue isn't your systems—it's your people? In this powerful episode, I share a heartfelt conversation I had with my Pops (he's wise, honest—and yes, blunt)—and how he boiled our biggest business meltdown down to one simple truth: “Build the people and then allow the people to build the business.”Drawing on the transformative lessons from Proverbs 13, we dive into:Why discipline over convenience is a non-negotiable. How speaking life early and often changes a culture (private > public).The power of the “Rule of 10” — serve one person incredibly well, then leverage the ripple.Why overcomplicating leadership is the growth killer; simplicity and clarity are the rocket fuel.Applying biblical wisdom to your team, your mission, and your leadership identity.

SHOW NOTES: On this show…we're talking about speaking life. How the words we use, both out loud and in our heads, can either drain our energy or feed our strength. Have you ever noticed how quickly one negative thought can spiral into an entire mood? One complaint, one worry, one “what if,” and before you know it, you're swimming in tension and exhaustion. It's wild how something as simple as language can shape how we feel, think, and even heal. I've always believed that we're more powerful than we realize. The body, mind, and spirit are in constant conversation with one another. Every thought sends a message. Every word carries weight. And when we speak life, when we choose words of hope, belief, and gratitude, we set off a chain reaction toward peace and restoration. I'm not saying life suddenly becomes easy or that we can positive-think our way out of every challenge. But I do believe that we can rise above chaos and confusion by intentionally choosing the voice we let lead. We've all seen what happens when negativity takes over. Worry turns into anxiety, anxiety into stress, and stress into physical strain. Cortisol spikes, sleep suffers, and our patience runs thin. It's like our entire system is on alert, reacting to a story we keep repeating even if that story isn't true. But what if we flipped the script? What if we started calling life as we want to see it, not ignoring reality, but speaking possibility into it? There's a fine line between being honest about what's happening and being captive to it. You can acknowledge the storm and still believe in the sun. That's what speaking life is about: setting your internal thermostat instead of being the thermometer that just reacts to everything around you. Choosing peace even when the world feels loud. Trusting your resilience, your purpose, your ability to heal. Faith-filled words often come before faith-filled feelings. CHALLENGE: Be intentional with your words this week. Speak life into every situation: into your thoughts, your relationships, and your dreams. When negativity creeps in, stop it mid-sentence and choose words that reflect faith, hope, and healing instead. Let your language lead your life in the direction you want to grow. I Know YOU Can Do It!

How do our words impact the most important relationship in our lives—our marriage?

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.

Today on Karl and Crew, we analyzed the fatherly demeanor of Jesus and Jairus in Mark Chapter 5. In verses 21-43 of the chapter, we see Jesus heal a bleeding woman and restore life to Jairus’s daughter in a nurturing and loving manner. We also see Jairus's unwavering faith as he patiently trusts Jesus’s healing power over his daughter. Then we had Ann Wilson join us to provide some insight on the importance of affirming your partner in marriage. Ann and her husband, Dave, are the co-hosts of Family Life Today, which airs weekly at 11 am on 90.1 FM. They’ve been married for over 44 years and have spent three decades teaching and mentoring couples and parents nationally. The duo has also authored several books, including “How to Speak to Your Husband When All You Want to Do Is Yell at Him.” We also had a surprise phone call from Karl, who is working with other Pastors in Burundi, East Africa. Then we had Chris Fabry join us. Chris is an award-winning author and radio personality. He is also the host of Chris Fabry Live and the co-host of Building Relationships with Dr. Gary Chapman.
