Episode 65 — Speak Life: Your Kids Are Listening (Proverbs 18:21)

🔥 Brotherhood Forged — Episode [#]: Speak Life: Your Kids Are Listening

Short summary: Ever call yourself “stupid” after messing up? Your kids are listening. In this episode Paul and the team unpack how the stories we tell ourselves shape our behavior and become the lens our children inherit. We cover: labeling vs. identity, practical mindset shifts (the “I don’t eat donuts” trick), a real parenting moment from our coaching calls, and the power of speaking life — rooted in Proverbs 18:21.

 

What we discuss

• Modeling behavior for your kids (lessons are caught, not just taught)

• Mindset → Behavior → Identity: rewrite the story you tell yourself

• Practical language swaps that stick (examples from real members)

• Short prayer & faith reminder: words have power

 

Scripture & quotes

• Proverbs 18:21 — “Death and life are in the power of the tongue…”

• Quote referenced: “The person with the greater capacity has a greater responsibility.” — Eric Wooten (used in our coaching context)

• Mentioned: Norman Vincent Peale (power of positive thinking)
