Protect yourself from hurtful words

2024/10/27 | Leo Bigger

In this sermon Leo Bigger helps you protect yourself from hurtful words by guarding your heart and rooting your identity in God, not other people’s labels. He explains how words lodge in your amygdala and how prayer and Scripture reset your mind and spirit (Colossians 3:8; Proverbs 4:23).

Practical takeaway: start each day in prayer before your phone, speak God’s promises over yourself (Zephaniah 3:17), and routinely ask the Holy Spirit whether a criticism is for your growth or an attack you should let go. Rid yourself of anger, slander and bitterness and replace those voices with Scripture and truth.

Reflect and act: notice the painful words you still carry, hand them to God, and declare His identity over your life so you can walk out healed and free.
