Your tongue weighs two ounces but carries the weight of the world.

Send us Fan MailYour words can set forests ablaze or bring healing to wounded hearts. Sister Deb Osborne delivers a powerful, challenging message about the critical importance of taming our tongues in a world where speech runs wild.Drawing from James 3, Sister Deb confronts the reality that while humans have successfully tamed ferocious lions, grizzly bears, and elephants, we struggle to control that small two-ounce muscle behind our teeth. "If we don't control our tongue, it will control us," she warns, reminding listeners that our words carry weight far beyond their momentary utterance.The message explores how our speech reflects what's in our hearts—"what's down in the well comes up in the bucket." When our hearts harbor anger, bitterness, or selfishness, these emotions inevitably flow through our words, sometimes causing lasting damage that can't be undone. Sister Deb shares personal observations of hurtful words spoken even within church walls, emphasizing that careless speech has destroyed families, marriages, and faith communities.With practical wisdom, Sister Deb offers a five-question filter for our speech: Is it true? Will it help someone? Is it inspiring? Is it necessary? Is it kind? This thoughtful approach, coupled with prayer for divine intervention, provides a pathway to more conscious, edifying communication. After all, as Matthew 12:36-37 reminds us, we will give account for every careless word on judgment day.Whether you struggle with gossip, angry outbursts, or thoughtless remarks, this message delivers both conviction and hope. The solution begins with heart transformation and continues with daily, intentional practice. Listen as Sister Deb challenges you to examine your words for an entire day and consider: Would God be pleased with what you've said? The answer might transform not just your speech, but your relationships and spiritual life.Support the showI would like to welcome everyone to the show enjoy and God bless everyone.
