Episode 102 - Taming the Tongue

Words may be small, but they are never powerless.

In Episode 102 of the Pastors in Recovery podcast, Jon begins a three-part series about our words, their impact, and the intentions behind them. Using James chapter 3, Jon explores the power of the tongue through the images of a bit, a rudder, and a small spark that can set an entire forest on fire. He also shares honest stories from his years in ministry—awkward words, careless speech, damaging frustration, facial expressions, interruption, sarcasm, and the moments when his mouth moved faster than his wisdom.

This episode asks a deeper recovery question:

What do our words reveal about what is happening in our hearts?

You will also hear practical encouragement about learning to pause, listen, and correct yourself before careless words gain momentum.

Episode 102 is Part One of the Words and Intentions series.

Scripture references include James 1, James 3, Matthew 12, and Proverbs 10 and 18.
