In a culture where words are thrown around casually—online, at home, even in church—how can we make sure our words reflect God’s heart?

In this episode, Ash Couchman and guest Mahala unpack Ephesians 4:29:

“Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.”

Inspired by a powerful podcast clip featuring DawnCheré Wilkerson (VOUS Church) and Holly Furtick (Elevation Church), Ash and Mahala discuss how easy it is to let cynicism, criticism, or careless words slip through—especially when we’re frustrated, tired, or trying to prove a point.

Whether it’s with your friends, family, co-workers, or online audience, your words carry weight. This conversation is both a challenge and an encouragement: to speak less like the world, and more like Jesus.

✨ Let this be a reminder—your words can either build up or break down. Let’s choose life.
