    S2E1 - The Hidden Power of Words - Brandon Crompton

    ❓Have you ever stopped to think about how your words could shape someone’s future—or keep them from stepping into the calling God has for their life? In this episode, Brandon Crompton, Metro Director for Seminole County Fellowship of Christian Athletes, shares why our words carry far more power than we often realize. From his journey as a college and professional basketball player to serving students and coaches in ministry, Brandon unpacks how intentional encouragement can help people discover the identity and purpose God has placed within them. We talk about:🏀 His faith journey through athletics and the people who shaped his walk with Christ💬 Why words have the power to build others up—or tear them down🌱 What it truly means to "speak life" into someone beyond simply being kind📖 What Scripture teaches about using our words to reflect God's heart✨ Why people sometimes need someone else to believe in them before they believe in themselves😊 How becoming a "Joy Bringer" changes the way we impact every conversation This conversation is a powerful reminder that God can use something as simple as your words to encourage, restore, and inspire someone to step into the purpose He created them for. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🎙️ Guest: Brandon Crompton — Metro Director, Seminole County Fellowship of Christian Athletes | Former Professional Basketball Player✨ Host: Ian Hess📩 Reach me directly: clock.into.your.calling@gmail.com 📸 Instagram: @clock.into.your.calling🌐 Website: clockintoyourcalling.transistor.fm 👉 Thank you for all the support and for investing some of your time to tune into this episode! #FaithInAction #ChristianPodcast #FaithAndWork #SpeakLife #Encouragement #CallingNotCareer #FCA #ChristianLeadership #PurposeDriven #LiveYourCalling
