Words are not just sounds—they’re seeds that grow into the environments and identities we live in. In this powerful Daily Fox Fuel, Mikel opens up about a season when his own words were tearing him down and how a friend challenged him to change his speech. He reminds us that “woe is me” thinking keeps us stuck, while reframing our words creates gratitude, resilience, and hope. Drawing from Proverbs 18:21 and even Maya Angelou’s wisdom, Mikel encourages you to stop declaring defeat and start speaking life. Your language has the power to craft culture, build faith, and shift your mindset. This episode is a wake-up call to be intentional about the words that come out of your mouth—because what you speak eventually becomes what you see.
