Dr. Velma Talks: Watch What You Say (Yes, Even Online)

Every Saturday, Dr. Velma Bagby brings another episode of Dr. Velma Talks, working through her book Following Esther's Process to Purification, Restoration, and Purpose in Thirty Days. The series is almost halfway through its fifteen days of purification, and Day 13 lands as one of the most convicting episodes yet — a direct look at the words we speak, type, and post.

Watch What You Say (Yes, Even Online)

This episode is a gut-check. Built around Ephesians 4:29 — "let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth" — Dr. Velma widens the lens to include what we post, text, and type, not just what we say out loud. She breaks down the Greek word for "corrupt" (rotten, contaminating speech) and contrasts it with being "seasoned with salt," using a personal story from her childhood about her grandmother and a piece of salt pork to illustrate how something meant to heal can also purify.

It's a timely word for anyone who's ever hit "post" on something they later regretted.

Watch Day 13 for a convicting, practical look at taming the tongue — and the keyboard.
