Victim of Emotions | Beauty of Smart Silence | Word Wednesday w/ Apostle Ronnie

In this first official edition of Word Wednesday, we had a rich and thought-provoking conversation with Apostle Ronnie Sontsonga from Word Central Bible Church, diving into two interconnected themes: ⸻ The High Cost of Following Emotions Why do we often find ourselves reacting from a place of emotion — even as believers? We explored the spiritual and mental consequences of emotional impulsivity, referencing Psalm 4:4 which encourages us to “be angry and do not sin; ponder in your own hearts on your beds, and be silent.” 🧠 Key reflections: • Emotional outbursts often stem from spiritual immaturity. • A lack of scriptural truth makes room for cultural lies. • When we throw away God’s standards, emotions become the new truth, leading to chaos. • Society (and even the church) is more emotionally stimulated than spiritually or mentally rooted — and that disconnect fuels issues like gender-based violence, broken relationships, and poor decision-making. ⸻ Smart Silence We also explored the power of restraint, silence, and wisdom in our speech. The Bible doesn’t suppress emotion — it teaches mastery over it. 🗣️ Key scriptures included: • Proverbs 17:28 — “Even a fool seems wise when he is silent” • Ecclesiastes 3 — “Everything is beautiful in its time” • Psalm 4:4 — linking silence with reflection and emotional control We discussed how: • Smart silence is a spiritual skill, not cowardice. • Some things are true, but if said at the wrong time, they lose their value or cause destruction. • Surrounding yourself with the right people can help you hold your peace when necessary. • Leaders, especially men, must grow in mental and spiritual stimulation to master their emotions and lead well. ⸻ 00:00 Intro & Welcome to Word Wednesday 00:45 What sparked the topic of Smart Silence 02:30 Biblical insight: when silence would have avoided conflict 04:15 Defining “Smart Silence” vs. avoidance 06:00 Emotion‑led culture & information overload 08:00 Speed of social media and emotional reactions 10:00 Consequences of impulsive speech & backlash 12:00 Smart Silence as emotional intelligence 14:00 Final exhortation: choosing wisely when to speak or stay silent ⸻ This episode is a call to spiritual growth, discernment, and wisdom in how we respond in a culture that often celebrates unfiltered emotional expression. ⸻ 🎯 Don’t forget to: ✔️ Like ✔️ Comment your takeaways or questions ✔️ Share this with someone who needs to hear it ✔️ Subscribe for more every Word Wednesday 📍 New episodes drop every Wednesday on Conversations @ The Block. ⸻ 🎥 Watch the full Word Wednesday playlist here: 👉    • Conversations @theBlock   ⸻ 🟨 SPONSORED AD SLOT This episode is proudly brought to you by: LabtronicSolutions 🎥 Mdantsane’s First Multimedia Studio 📸 Photography | 🎞️ Videography | 🎙️ Podcast Production | 📡 Live Streaming | 🧾 Printing Services 📍 18th Jongilanga Road, Highway, Mdantsane 📧 Email: [email protected] 📞 Call/WhatsApp: +27 81 231 7151 🔗 Instagram: @labtronicsolutions Bongie P Clean Care A proudly South African brand focused on delivering effective, affordable, and reliable cleaning solutions for every home and business. 🧼 Products include: • Powerful Thick Bleach • All-Purpose Cream • Dishwashing Liquid • Pine Gel Clean Made Simple.
