Watch Your Words: Overcoming Tongue Trouble | The Guided Words Podcast
In this powerful episode of The Guided Words, Benel dives into a struggle we all face but rarely talk about: “Tongue Trouble.”
Our words carry weight—more than we often realize. From quick reactions to gossip to negative self-talk, the tongue has the power to build or destroy. Inspired by James 3:5-6, Proverbs 18:21, and Ephesians 4:29, this episode challenges us to pause and reflect on how we use our words every day.
Benel breaks down the different ways "tongue trouble" shows up in our lives, from careless comments to harmful gossip and even the toxic things we say to ourselves. This isn't about guilt—it's about awareness, growth, and making the choice to speak life instead of destruction.
If you've ever said something you regretted or struggled with negativity—this episode is for you.
