We don’t ever determine to be consciously filterless with our mouths, right? But then–that moment comes–and we speak before thinking, leaving others bug-eyed and ourselves embarrassed. What’s the most shocking lack of filter you can remember displaying? What drove that moment…anger, exhaustion, fear, or insecurity? How are we to pursue holiness in our speech? Join me today as jump into our first week of our study on the power of our words.

TRANSCRIPTION:
Hey everybody, this is Heidi St. John—welcome to the podcast! I am so glad that you joined me today. Today is Wednesday, May 8th. It’s the first day of our study Deep Waters. We’re going to be talking about the power of the tongue, you guys. Words have impact. And for the whole month of May, we’re going to be studying the impact of our words, and learning how we can become more like Christ and impact the world for the gospel. This is episode number 763.
Stick around, I think you’re going to be encouraged.
So wow you guys, May 8th! What in the world is going on? I feel like the time is going by so fast. Today I leave for Mobile, Alabama. Jay and I, and my daughter Sierra, and Melissa—we will all be in Mobile for the Teach Them Diligently conference. We are so excited to be there. I love speaking for Teach Them Diligently. I know that they are doing an incredible work to bring families into right relationship with each other, and then with the Lord. And of course, a lot of the focus that we have, when we’re out on the road at conferences like this, is homeschooling. But you guys have heard me say many times that homeschooling is not the answer. Jesus is the answer. And really, that is my heart—is just to encourage you toward a right relationship with the Lord. So if you guys are anywhere near Mobile, Alabama—come on out! I’ll be the opening speaker on Thursday, May 9th. So come on out—you’re not going to want to miss that opening keynote. And I’m really excited about it.
So also, for goodness sake you guys—Mother’s Day is coming up, right around the corner, and I have been privileged to speak there for Abundant Life Church in Lee’s Summit. So I’ll be doing all three services there. We’re going to be talking about the power of parenting, and the power of shepherding, and what God has to say about this next generation. So whether you’re a mother,
