Welcome to One Single Story, Season 5! Pastor Stephen Mizell is joined by co-hosts Pastor Jay Rivenbark and Pastor Alyssa Bream for a conversation from Proverbs 16:21-23 — exploring why pleasant words are persuasive, how outrage culture pulls us away from the kindness that actually creates change, and what it practically looks like to slow down and filter our words before they leave our mouths.

Scripture Focus: Proverbs 16:21-23 - Solomon connects wisdom, discretion, and speech, reminding us that the heart is the true teacher of the mouth.

In This Episode:

Why tone matters just as much as truth
How social media rewards harshness — and what Scripture says about that
Practical ways to teach your mouth to speak with more wisdom and grace

Key Quote: "The heart is the teacher, the mouth is the student. And if you don't like what you're saying, check who's teaching the class."
