Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2459491/fan_mail/new] Jesus: The Power of the Tongue — James Series (Episode 5)  James 3:1–12 Words matter. In Episode 5 of our James series, we explore one of the most practical and challenging passages in the entire book of James: “How great a forest a little fire kindles!” James reminds us that although the tongue is small, it has tremendous power. Just as a bit guides a horse and a rudder steers a ship, our words influence the direction of our lives, our relationships, and our witness for Christ. In this episode, we talk about: • the power of small things • how words can build up or tear down • why our speech reveals what is happening in our hearts • and how Jesus can transform not only our behavior, but our words as well We’ll discover that the real issue is not merely controlling our speech. The real issue is allowing Christ to transform our hearts. Because what fills the heart eventually flows through the mouth. And when Jesus changes our hearts… our words begin to reflect His grace, His truth, and His love. That…is the Jesus Effect.

Jesus: Faith That Shows Up (James Series - Episode 4)

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2459491/fan_mail/new] Faith That Shows Up — James Series Episode 4 In Episode 4 of our James series, we explore one of the most well-known and challenging passages in the entire book of James: 📖 James 2:14–26 “Faith without works is dead.” What does genuine faith look like when it begins showing up in everyday life? James reminds us that faith is more than words. It’s more than simply saying,“I believe.” Real faith produces visible evidence. In this episode, we talk about: • why faith and obedience work together • how genuine faith produces compassion and action • what we can learn from Abraham’s example of faith • and how others can see Jesus through the way we live We’ll also explore an important truth: We are not saved by works. But saving faith works. Because genuine faith doesn’t stay hidden. It shows up through kindness,compassion,generosity,service,and obedience. When Jesus changes a heart,it eventually becomes visible in a person’s life. Not perfectly. But visibly. And when our faith begins showing up in everyday life… people see Jesus through us. That… is the Jesus Effect. This episode of The Jesus Effect was written and hosted by me, Steve McLane. If this message touched your heart, please consider sharing it.
