First Things First
Small disciplines, carried daily. Four scrolls for the road — how to speak, how to listen, how to walk, and how to pray.
“So then, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger.” James 1:19

Think
A gate for the tongue: is it true, helpful, inspiring, necessary, kind? Five questions that keep the mouth in step with the heart.
“Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but only what is good for building others up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear.”Ephesians 4:29
Listen
Hearing before speaking — loving, insightful, sincere, timely, encouraging, necessary. The slow answer is often the wise one.
“He who answers before he hears, that is folly and shame to him.”Proverbs 18:13
Walk
Conduct that matches confession: walk in wisdom, act in love, live with integrity, ask for His guidance, keep the faith.
“Therefore watch carefully how you walk, not as unwise, but as wise.”Ephesians 5:15
Pray
Four steps into His presence: pause, reflect on His Word, ask for guidance, and yield to His will.
“In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.”Philippians 4:6
