Week 7: Chapter 6 — Speaking Crazy Faith

1.Todd draws on Proverbs 18:21—'Death and life are in the power of the tongue'—to argue that faith-filled declarations are not a prosperity-gospel trick but a biblical practice. What is your gut-level reaction to the idea that your words have genuine power? Where does that reaction come from?

2.The ten spies in Numbers 13 saw the same land as Caleb and Joshua but reported back with completely different words—and those words determined two entirely different destinies. What do the words you habitually speak about your future, your family, your calling, and your limitations reveal about where your faith actually lives?

3.Romans 4:17 describes God as one 'who gives life to the dead and calls into existence things that do not exist.' Todd connects this to our own speech—calling things into existence by speaking them before they are visible. How do you practice this without sliding into self-deception or denial of real problems?
