We explore the importance of words and why it matters to use them in the right way. We talk to our friend Garrick, an etymologist, about why words have power and why it is important to use them for the right reasons. We also discuss the Third Commandment, which tells us not to take God's name in vain. Garrick explains why it is important to use God's name to honor Him and to only speak true things about Him. We learn that when it comes to using words, we want to use the right word in the right way for the right reason.
