Speak Life: Restoring Healthy Communication in How You Think, Talk, and Pray
In Speak Life, Boyd explores:
- How to tune into God in order to tune up your relationships
- How to listen to the Holy Spirit’s guidance in conversation
- Why healthier self-talk leads to better communication
- The biblical truths about your identity in Christ
- How to recognize and overcome the lies of the Enemy
Written by a self-proclaimed former “gunslinger” of painful words, Speak Life will help you speak words not of recklessness but of restoration to God, yourself, and those you love.
Top Highlights
“What I told my son is what I want you to hear too: prophetic communication is not some party trick; it’s simply following the progression Christ laid out for us, which involves talking to God before we choose to open our mouths to communicate with others.” (source)
“Are you about to communicate from a place of anger, hunger, exhaustion, exasperation, desperation, resignation, or fear? These postures are ripe for Satan’s picking, so you might be better off keeping your mouth closed—at least until you’ve chilled out, settled down, eaten a snack, taken a nap, and moved in your attitude to a place of peace.” (source)
“After that we stand firm against the schemes of the Enemy. And then—voilà!—we miraculously speak words of life. That’s all I did with Abram that night, and that’s all I’m asking of you.” (source)
“How does this thought I’m thinking, this assumption I’m building, or this agreement I’m making line up with the Word of God?” (source)
“Do you want your relationship with your spouse to improve? Then stop criticizing and start prophesying.” (source)
