Tonight was the second night of our Nearsighted series Caitlin stood in for Ryan and spoke about relational perspective. Through James
3, she unpacked how the words that we say have a huge impact on our
relationships.
So often we get caught up in gossip without even realizing
the full extent of what we’re saying- let alone the consequences it can bring.
We don’t think about how much weight our negative words carry and how they can
shape another person’s self-esteem and life.
Fortunately, though, we can also give the gift of
encouragement and hope with our words. This week take a few moments to talk
with your teen about how to consciously think about the words that they say.
Here are a few points to think about and discuss:
What if each time you started to gossip about someone else,
you prayed for them instead? Why do we feel the need to speak negatively of
others? Is it because of our own insecurity? Who has God put in our lives that
we can encourage and build up instead of tear down?
As always, if you've got questions of feedback about the series, shoot us an email! We'd love to hear from you- ryan@onechurch.tv or caitlin@onechurch.tv
