How do we tame the tongue?

I did one of my final projects on this passage, connecting it to Jesus’s words in Matt 12:33-37 and explaining how “teachers” in James’ day were akin to actors. Thus, teachers were people who strenuously practiced their speech so they were a good example of what a “tamed tongue ” looked like. It never occurred to me that my own struggles to tame my tongue were more related to the way my brain worked than anything else. Thanks for giving me something to think about !
