About this episode
Chris Russo discusses how genuine listening can transform relationships and improve communication.
What if the biggest thing holding back your relationships isn’t what you’re saying—but your need to control the conversation? In this episode, Chris Russo explores how genuine listening does more than improve communication—it changes relationships, opens unexpected doors, and reveals what’s really in the hearts of others. As we grow closer to Christ, we often discover that true listening isn’t just a communication skill… it’s a posture of humility, curiosity, and surrender.
