Sticks and Stones

Picture this: a child on a playground, bravely reciting, "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me." We've all chanted it, clung to it, hoping to shield our hearts. Yet, with time, we've all learned that words can hurt - a lot.

But what if we could change the narrative? What if our words could heal the wounds they often cause? Pastor Stephen invites us to discover the transformative power of our speech and challenges us to do more than avoid the harmful words that hurt but actively heal, uplift, and bless.

What is The Grove Church / Dallas, Texas?

The Grove Church is a neighborhood church located in Dallas, TX. We love the imagery of coming together as a community and being the group of 'fruit-bearing trees' that Jeremiah writes about in the Old Testament (see Jeremiah 17:7-8). Our vision for The Grove is to become a church that lives out its faith in tangible ways, intentionally creating environments that gather people together, grow them closer to God, and give back to our neighbors. This podcast is our audio versions of live sermons preached every Sunday online and in-person.
