🔥 In this episode, Aaron welcomes his wife Ashley back to the mic as they dive into James Chapter 3, exploring how "the tongue is a fire" and the profound impact our words have on ourselves and others.

Ever said something you instantly regretted? You're not alone! Aaron and Ashley get real about the challenges of taming the tongue in this week's Undaunted Pursuit. They dig into James 3, exploring the powerful imagery of bits and rudders, the destructive power of gossip (that spreads like wildfire!), and the crucial pursuit of true wisdom in a world filled with noise and selfish ambition.

Episode Highlights:

• The warning for teachers and the higher standard they're held to
• How our tongue, like a small rudder on a ship, directs our entire life
• Why a small spark of gossip can turn into a devastating forest fire
• The contradiction of blessing God while cursing others made in His image
• True wisdom from above versus earthly, selfish ambition
• Practical ways to let the Holy Spirit control our words

In the midst of the real-life chaos of a big family move, they share personal reflections on the constant struggle to control what we say and how our words directly impact our lives and relationships. They tackle the tough verses about the responsibility of teaching, the difference between worldly and godly wisdom, and the importance of speaking life, even when it's hard.

Aaron and Ashley share personal insights about their recent move and how they've experienced both support and opposition - sometimes from well-intentioned people. They emphasize the importance of watching what we say and pray, especially during challenging life transitions.

As they unpack this powerful chapter verse by verse, the couple discusses how spiritual maturity begins with controlling our words and how only God can truly "extinguish" the fires our words can start.

Tune in for this thought-provoking conversation about taming the untamable tongue and cultivating godly wisdom that leads to peace!
