Good morning and welcome to Wake Up with Pastor Scott and Pastor Jason. Today we're talking about the power of our words and why we need to stop talking badly about people. James 4:11 says, “Brothers and sisters, do not slander one another.” What we say about people when they're not in the room matters, and our words can either build relationships or tear them down. Pastor Scott and Pastor Jason talk about how easy it can be to join conversations filled with criticism, accusations, and negativity. But instead of participating in gossip or slander, we're called to build people up, encourage one another, and speak life. They share a simple but powerful challenge: when someone starts telling you something negative about another person who isn't there, ask, “Why don't we call them before we talk about them?” Go directly to the person instead of allowing accusations and assumptions to spread. This kind of wisdom can transform our friendships, marriages, families, churches, workplaces, and every relationship in our lives. We should be people who protect others with our words, choose integrity over retaliation, and remember that love covers. Pastor Scott and Pastor Jason also use a powerful picture: be helium. Everything that comes out of our mouths should have the potential to lift people higher, not become a heavy weight that brings them down. Imagine what would happen if we made it our goal to speak about people as though they were standing right beside us. And there's another powerful reminder in this episode: God isn't finished with your story. Haggai 2:9 says, “The glory of this latter temple shall be greater than the former.” Don't spend so much time looking back at what God has done that you miss what He is still preparing to do. Just like the movie illustration at the end of the episode, the movie isn't over yet. When everything looks like it's falling apart, the story isn't finished until the credits roll. God is still working, and He can save the best for last. So today, choose to speak life, build people up, protect your relationships, and stop looking backward. Your story isn't over. God isn't finished. There is still greater ahead! Partner with us at wakeuptv.tv Don't forget to like, share, and subscribe.
