Edited by: Tim Nicholson

This week, David kicks us off by sharing some current 2025 events and how relevant "taming the tongue" is thousands of years later. Ben then shares how powerful words can be to either tear you down or build you up. Judah then talks about the power of silence.

Mike shares about a time when he would pause before he spoke and found himself saying nothing.

Johnny then shares a testimony of being out with his family, two teenage daughters and weeping at his flesh when some men were looking at his daughters. This then turns into a conversation about the importance of Being in Christ, denying ourselves gives us freedom. If you want to taste freedom, draw near to God as He will draw near to you.

Join us for an amazing discussion on the Book of James, real life stories, practicing righteousness and how our past, our limitations, DO NOT DEFINE US, our IDENTITY IN CHRIST defines us.

This is an awesome, awesome discussion and we encourage you to share this episode with a few friends.

Enjoy and we appreciate you listening.

We encourage you to read James with us and comment on what has been sticking out to you?

Have a blessed day.

This week, James kicks us off by sharing James 5:13 where we are instructed to pray when we suffer hardships, praise when we are happy, ask for prayer when we are sick. Our James talks about being in constant communication with God versus putting Him on and off the shelf.

Mike shares his perspective and personal testimony on how he has seen this impact his life and how he is grateful he no longer looks at God as a geni in a bottle.

Johnny takes us in a different direction by sharing about the importance of taming our tongues and what would we insert into our own mouths to tame our tongues? How about feasting on the Bible?

Judah then goes on a mini soap box about a meme accoubt that bashes pastors for using props and Judah talks about how Jesus used logs, specs, etc to teach others.

We then go on a long discussion about the power of confession to a friend and the authority each of us have (in Christ) to forgive others or reinforce their forgiveness.

This is an awesome, awesome discussion and we encourage you to share this episode with a few friends.

This week's discussion features Judah Thomas, David LaManna, Lenny Salgado, Kirsten Salgado, Johnny V., Mike McHugh, and James Gowell.

This week, David launches the episode and James chats about we've all shared the Book of James is the Proverbs of the New Testament, many ref's to the Sermon on the Mount, but the Holy Spirit shined a light on the Book of James being the practical application of the Sermon on the Mount.

David then shifts to chapter 4, and the spiritual adultery references and being humble in the face of God. Some people put and take God on and off the shelf versus going all in.

We go all over the place in this episode and have a powerful discussion of the fact that life, goes by in a moment and we are so groomed by the world to be wordly, and so many think they have weeks and years...but today is the day, seize the moment and give your life to Christ.

Enjoy and we appreciate you listening.
