Description

Words build homes—or break them.

In episode 248 of the Family Meeting Podcast, Thomas and Lysandra dive into a vital communication principle every Christian family needs to master:

Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it in a mean way.

Whether you're in a heated marriage conversation, parenting through defiance, or just navigating daily misunderstandings, how you say something can matter just as much as what you say.

In this episode, you'll learn:

  • Why tone, timing, and truth must work together.
  • How to speak honestly without crushing your spouse or child.
  • What Scripture teaches about meaning what you say and guarding your tone.
  • Practical ways to model respectful, loving communication in your home.

If you're tired of explosive arguments, constant defensiveness, or silent resentment—this episode will help you reset the way your family speaks.
