            <p>Words shape worlds. Scripture insists that speaking is never neutral—Proverbs 18:21 declares that life and death are in the power of the tongue. This course, Word Power and Practice: Biblical Foundations for Life-Giving Speech, explores why our words carry such weight and how they impact everyday spaces like families, workplaces, churches, and online communities. You’ll see how the Bible treats speech not as an accessory to faith but as a core expression of wisdom, character, and love.</p>

<p>We begin by asking why words matter, anchoring in Proverbs and tracing the contrast between wise and foolish speech—truth vs. distortion, restraint vs. impulse, gentleness vs. harshness, timeliness vs. haste. Then we dig into Scripture’s foundations: from God’s creative word in Genesis and the blessing/curse dynamics of the Torah and Prophets, to Jesus’ teaching that words flow from the heart and James’s vivid warnings about the tongue. We’ll synthesize these threads into a clear framework rooted in the imago Dei, showing how truth, love, and holiness guide what and how we speak.</p>

<p>Insight then moves to practice. You’ll learn to spot harmful patterns like gossip and slander, understand their relational and communal costs, and build boundaries and accountability to stop cycles of harm. We’ll practice life-giving alternatives—blessing, encouragement, confession, forgiveness, and courageous truth-telling with grace—while forming new habits through simple cues: pause, pray, rephrase, and repair. Along the way, quizzes help you check understanding, and the course culminates in crafting a personal rule of life for words, with real-world next steps and support. By the end, you’ll have a biblical vision and practical toolkit to use your speech as a consistent channel of life.</p>
