Watch your language! Though this phrase is usually associated with some negative word, phrase, or idea, it is also a great reminder of what we are to do as we think through the language we use that both informs and guides how we do life and relationships.

Dan Leitz and Jim Thomas, explore this important, yet overlooked, aspect of disciple-making.
