About this episode
The episode discusses the importance of listening as a skill that can profoundly impact relationships and even save lives.
We all like to feel heard. To be understood. To know that someone really listened to us. And yet, so many of us struggle to be good listeners. Jesus is the greatest listener that ever lived, and if we're willing to learn from Him, we'll find a skill that is worth the effort to practice. Because listening done correctly can do more than just make someone feel good... it can save lives!
