298. Keep Your Mouth Shut

298. Keep Your Mouth Shut

This week Cris explores the issue of keeping our mouths shut. We all know the power of words, they can encourage, build up and bring life, but they can also damage relationships, spread gossip, fuel anger and cause unnecessary hurt. Drawing on the wisdom of Proverbs and the wider Bible, Cris explores 20 moments when it might be better not to open our mouths. From speaking in anger and jumping to conclusions, to gossip, criticism and saying things we might later regret, this episode challenges us to think more carefully about what we say, when we say it and whether it needs saying at all. Perhaps one of the most important disciplines in following Jesus is learning when to speak and when to stay silent.
