39. Monday Meditations: The Fire Behind Your Lips

MIDWEEK RISE UP - A podcast by Erika Kirk

Categories:

Today, we’re focusing on something small—but deeply sacred. It weighs just a few ounces and lives behind your teeth, yet it can split friendships, sow discord, or breathe life into dry bones.We’re talking about the tongue.Not just what it says—but what it reveals.Jesus said, “Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.” That means your words are not random—they’re reflections. Of your thoughts. Of your beliefs. Of your heart.In this episode, we unpack the spiritual weight of our speech. Why do words have such power? How do they shape the atmosphere around us—and inside us? And what does it mean to live with a tongue surrendered to God?From the fires of James 3 to the seeds of Ephesians 4, we’ll explore how holy speech can transform homes, heal hearts, and testify to the goodness of God.You’re invited into a sacred pause—a fast from careless words and a feast on grace-filled speech. Let’s learn to speak like people who bear the name of Jesus.Let your words become windows—revealing a heart that’s been made new.We hope that you enjoy this episode. God bless you and Go Rise Up!Shop PROCLAIM's latest drop: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.proclaim365.com/shop⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join BIBLEin365 and read the entire Bible with us in a year: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.proclaim365.com/biblein365⁠
