Speak Intentionally

Brain Food

Words are a powerful tool in ministry. They’re like dandelion seeds blowing in the wind. Once your words are out there, there’s no pulling them back.


As a youth worker, you can use this double-edged sword to build up students, speak truth, comfort where there is hurt, and challenge teenagers to grow spiritually.

It’s no mistake that James 3 teaches us to be intentional about the power of the tongue. It’s a dynamic muscle with great potential. Continue to flex it in ways that bring God glory and encourage students!
