Talk That Tears Down | Your Response(Ability), Part 2

We all know words matter, but it's easy to underestimate the impact of the conversations we have when the other person isn't in the room. Gossip doesn't always start with bad intentions, yet it can quietly shape relationships, reputations, and even our own hearts. This week we'll look at why we're drawn to these conversations, what Jesus had to say about them, and how choosing our words more carefully can change the way we relate to others. Every day, we respond to people, to pressure, opinions, criticism, and even the voice in our own head. But our responses are rarely as small as they seem. They shape relationships, reveal what’s happening beneath the surface, and create a ripple effect throughout our lives. Your Response(ability) is an invitation to slow down, pay attention, and consider what our words and reactions are really doing.📌 NEXT STEPS: Wherever you are, we want to help you discover what’s next.👉 https://www.npaustin.com/whatsnextNot sure where to start?
