A Better Us: Words have power.

The old sticks and stones rhyme was meant to toughen us up against bullies—but let’s be honest, bones heal way faster than words that burrow into the soul. Our me-first culture of self-love, self-care, and “my truth” pitches self-focus as the pinnacle of the good life. Sure, emotional health matters—but not when it runs contrary to God’s will and way. We come out of the womb self-centered! Maturity means moving beyond me to see we—noticing and meeting each other’s needs. Let’s explore how God’s Word helps us choose words that heal, not hurt.
