The Power of Speech | Fr. Gregory Pine OP

In this episode of Logos Podcast, we sit down with Dominican friar Father Gregory Pine to talk about the power of speech, sins of the tongue, and why our words matter more than we think.

Drawing from his book Training the Tongue: Growing Beyond Sins of Speech, Father Gregory explores:

• Is it ever okay to use cuss words?
• What counts as taking God’s name in vain?
• Can we become overly scrupulous about speech?
• The spiritual danger of “locker room talk” culture
• The forgotten power of silence
• Why our integrity and speech ultimately pre-exist in God

From Genesis and the power to name, to modern social media pressure to “say something” about everything — this conversation challenges how Catholics think about words, humor, roasting culture, confession, and everyday speech.
