🔥 In this episode, Aaron welcomes his wife Ashley back to the mic as they dive into James Chapter 3, exploring how "the tongue is a fire" and the profound impact our words have on ourselves and others.
Ever said something you instantly regretted? You're not alone! Aaron and Ashley get real about the challenges of taming the tongue in this week's Undaunted Pursuit. They dig into James 3, exploring the powerful imagery of bits and rudders, the destructive power of gossip (that spreads like wildfire!), and the crucial pursuit of true wisdom in a world filled with noise and selfish ambition.
Episode Highlights:
- The warning for teachers and the higher standard they're held to
- How our tongue, like a small rudder on a ship, directs our entire life
- Why a small spark of gossip can turn into a devastating forest fire
- The contradiction of blessing God while cursing others made in His image
- True wisdom from above versus earthly, selfish ambition
- Practical ways to let the Holy Spirit control our words
In the midst of the real-life chaos of a big family move, they share personal reflections on the constant struggle to control what we say and how our words directly impact our lives and relationships. They tackle the tough verses about the responsibility of teaching, the difference between worldly and godly wisdom, and the importance of speaking life, even when it's hard.
Aaron and Ashley share personal insights about their recent move and how they've experienced both support and opposition - sometimes from well-intentioned people. They emphasize the importance of watching what we say and pray, especially during challenging life transitions.
As they unpack this powerful chapter verse by verse, the couple discusses how spiritual maturity begins with controlling our words and how only God can truly "extinguish" the fires our words can start.
Tune in for this thought-provoking conversation about taming the untamable tongue and cultivating godly wisdom that leads to peace!

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.
