Our words carry weight. They build or they break. They plant hope or plant fear. And for many of us, the way we speak today is shaped by what we longed to hear years ago.

In this episode, Mo shares why speaking life matters so deeply to her — shaped by her own childhood longing to be seen, noticed, and encouraged. She reflects on how silence formed her, how coming to Christ taught her to receive encouragement, and why words flowing from the throne of grace can become a powerful gift to others.

Drawing from Proverbs 18:21 and Jesus’ reminder that our words overflow from the heart, Mo invites listeners to examine the atmosphere their words create. Life-giving speech isn’t about pretending everything is okay. It’s about choosing words aligned with God’s heart, peace, and truth.

If you’ve ever longed to be seen… or ever wondered whether your words make a difference… this episode will remind you that God can use your voice to breathe hope, healing, and courage into someone’s day.
