Ep. 18 | Beyond Cussing: Saying More Than We Realize Artwork

crosswise

Christians are bombarded with temptations from the world to pull our eyes from the Lord. The world seeks to discredit and shame the Word of God. But the Word is for the wise, and the ways of the world are for the foolish - and Christians should know the difference. In this podcast, two stay-at-home moms, and Jesus-followers, take on pop culture trends and messages and examine them through a Biblical lens, discerning a right view from a wrong a one. We seek wisdom from the Word, not from the world.

Ep. 18 | Beyond Cussing: Saying More Than We Realize

April 06, 2021 • Ciara Wieland and Jessi Bridges • Season 1

In the final episode of Season 1 of crosswise, Ciara and Jessi dive into the acceptance of curse words (or is it cuss words?) and why Christians should feel empowered to reject the use of profane and perverse language. Scripture talks a lot about how important the kinds of language we use is and how that language offers a window into our hearts. If you're full of anger, the words you use reflect that. But, God calls us to set our hearts and our minds on the things of heaven. How does the world know that's where we're focused? By the words we choose to use.
