In this episode, Pastor Mike Abendroth continues his deep dive into the power of the tongue, building on last week's discussion from James 3. He explores the biblical principles of speech, highlighting both the destructive and redemptive potential of our words. With wit, personal stories, and rich theological insights, Mike unpacks Matthew 12:36 and reassures believers that while we will not be judged for our sins—because Christ bore that judgment—our words still matter greatly. He offers practical wisdom on how to replace sinful speech with godly encouragement, gratitude, and truth. From lessons on repentance and forgiveness to the impact of simple phrases like “I love you” and “I’m praying for you,” this episode challenges listeners to use their words to build up rather than tear down. A must-listen for anyone seeking to honor Christ with their speech.   Video Episode 7: “Redeeming Words” Hosts: Pastor Mike Abendroth (Pastor & Author) Produced/Edited By: Marrio Escobar (Owner of D2L Productions)  Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/_W_hxRbJvuE
