In this episode, we sit with Jesus’ teaching in Mark 7:14–23 and reflect on James 3:2–12, where both confront the source of what truly defiles us. It’s not what enters the body that corrupts, but what flows from the heart — through our words, attitudes, and reactions. The tongue reveals deeper things, and James calls it a fire that can bless or destroy. This conversation challenges us to examine not just what we say, but what’s shaping our speech beneath the surface.Email us at: [email protected] 4:9
