Do Christians swear? And if they do… does that mean something about their faith?

In this episode of Good News at Work, we have a real, honest, and surprisingly practical conversation about swearing, bad language, and what our words communicate to the people around us—especially non-believers. No finger-pointing. No spiritual guilt trips. Just thoughtful ideas, Scripture, and everyday wisdom for Christians who want their faith to show up consistently in real life.

We'll talk about:

• What the Bible actually says about our words
• Whether swearing is always a sin
• How our language shapes our witness at work, at home, and in public
• How to respond when Christians and non-Christians swear around us

✅ How to find peace when life feels heavy and uncertain
✅ A simple way to shift your mindset from "I've got this" to "God's got this"

Should Christians set faith goals—or does that just lead to guilt, pressure, and feeling spiritually behind?

In this podcast, we unpack a healthier, more biblical way to think about Christian faith goals—without turning your spiritual life into a checklist or a guilt-driven routine. You'll learn how to tell whether a faith goal is right for you, how to choose one that fits where God has you right now, and how to actually stick with it using simple, realistic systems.

This conversation is for anyone who:

• Feels spiritually stuck or disconnected from God

• Wants to grow their faith without burnout or pressure

• Struggles to stay consistent with prayer, Bible reading, or church

• Has said "I should really get back to church" more than once

• Wants Christian motivation that leads to real spiritual growth

We talk about:

• Why faith goals are biblical (and not just a corporate self-help thing)

• The difference between guilt-based goals and Spirit-led growth

• How to know if God is nudging you toward a faith goal

• Practical examples of meaningful Christian habit goals

• How God works powerfully through small, consistent obedience

• Why systems matter more than willpower when growing spiritually
