Domineering leadership does more than wound people. When telling the truth becomes expensive, people begin editing reality, Witnesses for Reality stop testifying, and leaders can become increasingly blind to what their leadership is doing to the people entrusted to them.
God has entrusted us with words, and Scripture gives those words a purpose. They are to tell the truth, give grace, build people up, restore relationships, protect reputations, communicate gratitude, and express love. The Stewardship of Words explores how husbands and wives, parents and children, friends, and leaders can learn to love one another through what they say—and what they refuse to say.
