Words shape your world. Are yours leading your family closer to God—or away from Him?
Did you know that your words are shaping your home, your marriage, and your kids—whether you realize it or not?
In this powerful episode of the Real Men Connect Podcast, Dr. Joe Martin sits down with Pastor Chad Harris (his personal pastor and friend) to unpack the real "dirty words" that too many Christian men speak without thinking.
And no—we're not talking about profanity. We're talking about six subtle but dangerous patterns of speech that can slowly destroy a man's witness, his leadership, and his legacy.
Key Highlights from This Episode
The Power of Words to Build or Break - God created the universe with words—and we create the culture of our homes the same way. Pastor Chad reminds us that what we say reveals where our heart truly lives.
The 6 Dirty Words Christian Men Must Avoid - Judgment, criticism, sarcasm, gossip, complaining, and negativity—all common, all damaging. Pastor Chad gives practical, convicting insights on how to spot and stop each one.
How to Filter Your Words Through Faith - Real spiritual maturity isn't just reading the Word—it’s speaking in alignment with it. Learn how to filter your words with prayer, Scripture, and love so you lead like Jesus at home and in your community.
Men, your words are powerful. They set the tone in your home, guide your kids, and speak life (or death) over your marriage.
If you've ever said something you regret—or struggled with any of these six "dirty words"—you're not alone. But you’re not stuck, either. With God’s help, you can change your language and your legacy.
