My Southern Godmother
22. Listen If Someone's Comment from Years Ago Still Stings
We’ve all had something said to us that stuck.
Sometimes it was life-giving.
Other times? It became a label we’ve carried for years.
This week on My Southern Godmother, Jena and Debbie talk about the power of words - how they shape our identity, influence our parenting, and reveal what’s in our hearts.
In this episode:
- A bedtime story gone sideways (and the words that brought it back)
- The comment that made Jena question who she really was
- What Jesus’ question - “Do you want to be healed?” - means for us today
- Why our words to kids matter more than we think
- How to speak life when you’re exhausted and overstretched
- Debbie and Jena talk about potential merch!
QUESTION OF THE WEEK: How are you storing up God's word in your heart?
