This week, we’re talking about the quiet work of staying in God’s Word. About the storehouse of treasures, old and new, and how God meets us as we dig and search. If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s worth it to keep going, this is your reminder: you really can go the distance. Every mile with Him matters.

Why Gentle Words? In this episode, I share how a practical decision in my speech therapy career unexpectedly led me deeper into Scripture. What started with two verses in Proverbs slowly unfolded into a bigger exploration of healing words, the Spirit’s breath, and a God who speaks with both power and gentleness. It’s the beginning of a much larger conversation, but it’s also part of the hope behind this podcast.

SCRIPTURES TO REVISIT:

Proverbs 15:4 — A gentle/healing tongue is a tree of life
