Sticks and Stones

We’ve all heard it: “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” It’s catchy—but dangerously untrue. In this episode, we explore the real power of words through Scripture, psychology, and lived experience. From Proverbs to neuroscience, we discover how our speech shapes identities, builds or breaks relationships, and leaves lasting impact—especially in our families. You’ll learn why what you say isn’t just communication; it’s cultivation. And most importantly, we’ll walk through three life-giving habits: how to speak with care, guard your heart, and seek healing when words wound. 

Proverbs 18:21
