Words are easy to overlook, but Scripture insists they are anything but harmless. In this week’s message from James 3, our new College Coordinator, Seth Conner, unpacks the power of the tongue and shows how careless speech can quietly undermine our hearts, fracture our unity, and derail our mission. Through vivid biblical imagery and practical examples, we’re reminded that our words don’t just reveal our character—they shape direction and influence lives. Because no one can tame the tongue on their own, the call isn’t to try harder, but to depend daily on Jesus and the work of the Holy Spirit. When our hearts are aligned with the King, our speech can move from destructive to life-giving, allowing us to represent Christ faithfully and advance his mission until every student knows.
