It undergoes transformat

Episode 17 · Words That Heal
1mo ago · 14:38

Anchored in Proverbs 12:18, "There is one whose rash words are like sword thrusts, but the tongue of the wise brings healing," this episode draws a powerful contrast between words that wound and words that heal. Words carry immense power. They linger, shaping confidence and identity, influencing faith.

Episode 13 · Be Careful How You Hear
3mo ago · 43:14

Anchored in Luke 8:18, "Take heed therefore how ye hear," this episode delves into the active and intentional posture required for hearing God's word. Jesus emphasized that hearing is not merely a passive activity. It involves the condition of our hearts, and how we hear determines the impact of the word within us. Many hear the same message, yet walk away with different results. Some are strengthened, others unchanged. Some believe, others doubt. This episode challenges us to con
Episode 12 · What You Say Shapes How You See
3mo ago · 15:59
In episode 12 of WordFed Life, Verlene Cromwell explores how our words shape our vision and influence our expectations. Anchored in Hebrews 11:1, "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen," this episode reveals a transformative truth about faith: faith gives us a way to see before we see. Faith is not empty hope. It has substance, and that substance is rooted in God himself. God is the substance of our hope, and his word is the evidence we stand on. Many times, we speak only from what we can see. We describe the situation, repeat the report, and reinforce
Episode 11 · What's Inside You Will Spill Out
3mo ago · 11:47
In episode 11 of WordFed Life, Verlene Cromwell explores the profound truth that what you carry within will eventually spill out through your words. Anchored in Luke 6:45, "A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh," this episode delves into the connection between the heart and the mouth.

Episode 10 · Your Tongue Sets Direction
4mo ago · 13:11

Anchored in James 3:4-5, "Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth. Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things," this episode reveals a powerful truth about words: they are not merely expressive, they are directional. Your tongue may be small, but it is not insignificant. It sets direction. It helps steer the course of y
Episode 9 · Truth vs. Facts
4mo ago · 11:28
In episode 9 of WordFed Life, Verlene Cromwell explores the powerful distinction between truth and facts, and how aligning with God's truth can transform our perspective and our lives. Anchored in John 17:17, "Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth," this episode illuminates a profound reality: truth is not a mere concept or statement; truth is embodied in the person of Jesus Christ. While facts present what we see, hear, and experience, truth reveals what God has declared. Facts may feel overwhelming and final, but they do not hold the ultimate authority. Truth does. Jesus made it
Episode 8 · Faith Spoke Before the Battle
2mo ago · 7:45
In episode 8 of WordFed Life, Verlene Cromwell explores the concept of faith speaking before the battle by examining David's encounter with Goliath. Anchored in 1 Samuel 17:37, "The Lord will deliver me," this episode reveals a powerful truth about faith: fear describes the problem, but faith declares the outcome. Goliath stood daily, speaking fear. He described his strength and power, declaring defeat over Israel. Israel agreed by staying silent. But there was a shift in that moment. Then David arrives, same giant, different voice. Before anything changed, David spoke the outcome. The Lord wi

To understand this principle, we look at how God created the world. Genesis 1:3 says, "And God said, Let there be light, and there was light

Episode 5 · I Believe, Therefore I Speak
5mo ago · 12:10
In episode 5 of WordFed Life, Verlene Cromwell explores the profound connection between belief and speech, and how faith gives voice to our words.

Belief is the foundation of our words, shaping them and giving them life. Words are not only shaped by the heart. They are also shaped by belief. What we truly believe eventually shows up in what we say. If
Episode 4 · The Words I Speak are Spirit and Life
5mo ago · 9:18

When Jesus spoke, his words

Episode 2 · Out of the Heart the Mouth Speaks
5mo ago · 8:55

Anchored in Proverbs 4:23, "Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it are the issues of life," this episode delves into the profound connection between the heart and the words we speak.
