I hear so many people speaking things over their lives and their circumstances that are completely contrary to what they actually want to happen AND contrary to what God has provided for them. And when I hear them say wild things, I cringe because U I understand the power of the tongue. Sometimes I’ll enage and I’ll try to tell them that their words have power, but I’m usually hit with so much resistance. The enemy is very crafty at getting people to discount the power of the things that they say.
They are so quick to dismiss this truth. Needless to say, this topic is something I take very seriously.
The other reason I’m excited is because the guest in this episode is my campus pastor Naomi Scarbrough! She is the bomb dot com. Do people still say that? Lol.
Anyway, I’m just trying to say that she is awesome. I have never met anyone like her. She has a way of preaching and teaching that is so digestible. And then, on top of that, she’s just a cool person. I learn so much from her. I’m excited that I get to share her with you.
