**Beyond Sunday: The Atomic Tongue | Controlling the Power of Words (James 3) | Pastor Adam Wright & Dr. Hugh Hennis**
Welcome to another episode of *Beyond Sunday* with Pastor Adam Wright from New Hope Baptist Church in Lancaster and your host, Dr. Hugh Hennis! This week, we dive deep into James 3 and the incredible power of the tongue—what Pastor Adam calls “the atomic tongue.”
Join us as we break down why the tongue can both build up lives and destroy them, how our words reflect our identity as Christians, and why controlling our speech is a spiritual battle between flesh and spirit. We also discuss practical steps—like pausing and asking, *Is it true? Is it kind? Is it necessary?*—before we speak, and the lifelong impact our words can have on family, children, and relationships.
**Episode Highlights:**
- The Book of James as a manual for Christian living
- Biblical insights on the tongue as a “flame of fire” (James 3:6)
- How words can heal or harm marriages and friendships
- The spiritual struggle to tame the tongue
- The importance of healthy communication, especially for parents
- Free New Testament & devotional resources for viewers!
Whether you’re looking for Christian encouragement, practical wisdom on godly communication, or want to deepen your walk with Jesus, this episode is for you.
