The Power of the Tongue

42 min. (1 CD / MP3)

Scripture has much to say about the power of the tongue. Our tongues can be used to build up or to tear down; to direct people’s thoughts to what is good and true and noble, or to what is evil and deceptive and base. Scripture exhorts us to “tame our tongue” as an immensely important part of growing in virtue. In this talk, Dr. Mary Healy unpacks the biblical teaching on the tongue, especially from the Letter of St. James. Find out:

• Some common sins of the tongue that we may not even be aware of
• How we can put into practice the biblical teaching on taming the tongue
• A great biblical example of using the tongue for loving confrontation
• The amazing power of praise

Using practical examples, Dr. Healy shows how we can apply these scriptural insights to our own lives and gain authority over our use of the tongue.
