God created everything by speaking it into existence.

The exploration of the impact and control of speech in spiritual growth is a fascinating journey, revealing the profound power our words hold. Rylee Meek, a firm believer in the transformative power of speech, emphasizes the importance of intentional and positive communication. He suggests that our words, when spoken with understanding, can change our lives and influence future generations. Christian Edwards, on the other hand, views speech as a crucial element in spiritual growth, linking our words to the thoughts and intentions of our hearts. He advocates for a mindful approach to speech, encouraging us to pause, ponder, and pray before speaking, especially in moments of negativity. Both Meek and Edwards' perspectives are shaped by their deep faith and commitment to living a Christlike life. Join Rylee Meek and Christian Edwards as they delve deeper into this topic on the King's Council Ep 152 podcast.

-Explore the negative impact of complaining about our lives

-Explore the transformative power of God's intervention

Quotes:
"We have no right to complain about what we tolerate in our life." - Rylee Meek

"But James kind of tees up the taming of our tongue with this by saying, listen, we're not just going to watch what we say for the sake of it. Know those words coming out into the atmosphere, because if they're still in the heart, then they're still doing damage, right? So he says essentially with this, to be quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to anger. He's saying, listen, pause, ponder and pray, right? Pause, ponder and pray." - Christian Edwards

"Answering softly and gently turns away wrath, but harsh and becoming defensive or even becoming offended in a situation which makes you defensive now you're just button up against each other, and it is not going to be fruitful in the long run." - Rylee Meek

"If you've given your life to Christ, if you're a business owner, an entrepreneur, you're listening to this. The rest of everything that you do, if you've committed to Christ, everything else, everything else is sanctification." - Rylee Meek
