Everyone is familiar with the common definitions of words, like afflicted or revive or establish. But did you know that afflict also means “to humble”? Or that establish means to “show to be valid or true; to prove”? Or that revive means to “recover the natural or uncombined state, as with a metal”?
Language shapes thought — and when definitions shift, understanding shifts with them. Meaning Matters explores words that have been quietly redefined and examines what they originally meant. Reclaiming words and restoring meaning helps restore clarity, strengthen discernment, and bring greater precision to the conversations that shape our lives.
