Proverbs 15:1 and the Power of a Soft Word

The biblical principle that "a soft word turns away wrath" from Proverbs 15:1 is highlighted as a key tool for dealing with opposition. The hosts observe that Jesus often responded to the Pharisees' attacks with questions or a "different spirit" rather than fighting fire with fire. They contrast this with the "Karen moments" and critical spirits often encountered in modern public life.
