Have you ever struggled with how to be honest without being hurtful? This powerful prayer session tackles one of Christianity's most challenging practices: speaking truth in love.
Drawing from Ephesians 4:15-16, we explore how truthful, loving communication forms the foundation of spiritual maturity. When we speak the truth wrapped in genuine love, we contribute to building up Christ's body rather than tearing it down. This isn't about softening hard truths—it's about delivering them with the right heart and motivation.
The prayer moves through several dimensions of this principle. We ask for divine courage to stand firm on truth even when it contradicts popular opinion, while simultaneously seeking the grace to speak without condemnation or judgment. We confront the jealousy and comparison that often poison our words, praying instead for security in our unique callings and gifts within the body of Christ.
Particularly powerful is the reminder that speaking like Jesus helps us grow like Jesus. When we study how Christ communicated difficult truths—with authority yet profound compassion—we find our model for mature Christian communication. The prayer also addresses our need for discernment in recognizing authentic leadership and distinguishing God's voice from counterfeits.
If you've been wounded by harsh words delivered in the name of "truth" or if you struggle to speak up when truth needs to be voiced, this prayer session offers healing and guidance. Join us in seeking God's help to communicate in ways that honor Him and build His kingdom.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
