Words have power — not just emotionally, and spiritually, but neurologically. In this episode, we explore how the words we use impacts brain development, emotional connection, and relational safety. Whether you're a parent, spouse, educator, or friend, understanding the science of words can transform how you communicate and connect.

In this episode we covered:

• The forming of neural pathways

• How words affect our relational connection

• How to repair relational bonds when our words are damaging

• Why our day-to-day language matters more than we think

The shift that needs to happen in the life of every Christian is from worship of self to worship of God.

The values that the culture of the world is built upon are inwardly focused and selfish. By default, the world will teach you to be the lord of your own life and seek the fulfillment of your desires.

The values of God's Kingdom, on the other hand, are outwardly focused, seeking to love and serve others. Life in God's Kingdom will lead to the lordship of Jesus.

Join Brian and Katie as they continued the conversation on discipleship and why we need to be reoriented from the ways and values of the world toward those of Jesus and His Kingdom.

It's one thing to view Jesus as your Savior. It's another thing to view Him as your Lord. To accept Him as our Savior is to trust Him with what happens when we die. But to allow Him to be our Lord means trusting Him with what happens while we live.

Join Brian and Katie Hess as they continue the conversation on both the importance and general lack of discipleship to Jesus in many churches and homes today, and why we must be intentional in our pursuit of formation in Christ.
