It’s no fun putting your foot in your mouth!
Whether you’ve been on the receiving end of hurtful words or maybe you’ve used words that hurt, we know the weight that words can carry. So why is it so difficult to control what we say?
Have you ever stopped to really think about how you communicate?
Do you think before you speak? Do you criticize or talk with kindness? Are you honest in the things you say and loving in your tone?
Focus on the Family wants to give you some real, practical help for speaking with grace and civility. So we’ve developed a FREE series of 7 short videos (each 2-6 minutes in length) called Avoiding Words That Hurt, featuring best-selling author Dr. Emerson Eggerichs.
This series contains seven short episodes that will cover the following topics:
Video #1: Why Do We Speak Before We Think?
Video #2: Tweets and Consequences
Video #3: The Opportunity to Be a Skilled Communicator
Video #4: Principle 1 — Are My Words True?
Video #5: Principle 2 — Are My Words Kind?
Video #6: Principle 3 — Are My Words Necessary?
Video #7: Principle 4 — Are My Words Clear?
Is this an area in your life that you need help with? I’m sure it could be because we all need to be more grace-filled in the way we communicate with others.
We’d love to send you this 7-part video series.

The Southern Poverty Law Center couldn’t be more wrong. They recently named Focus on the Family to its radical and inflammatory “hate group” list. Ridiculous!
The ministry you support is pro-person, not pro-sin. We follow the infallible biblical truth that God created two (and only two) genders, and that marriage is a sacred institution between one man and one woman. These are divinely inspired beliefs held by faithful Christians for thousands of years, not hate speech.
Will you give today to stand up for truth and provide resources that invest in God’s plan for marriage and families?
We won’t back down from God’s calling and will continue to fight for families. Together, we will endure and combat hate with Christ’s overcoming love.
