In this week’s installment of our UP! series, we welcome special guest Dr. Wayne Lewis, President of Houghton University, to explore the incredible power of our words. Grounded in James 3.1-12, Dr. Lewis examines how the smallest part of our body can steer the entire course of our lives, much like a bit in a horse's mouth or a rudder on a massive ship. Discover how to move from a cycle of inconsistency to a life that naturally produces the fruit of the Spirit, using your voice to edify, encourage, and proclaim the goodness of the Gospel.
