Most of us were never taught healthy ways to listen to the stories others were telling us. In today's episode, we'll discuss how we view others' stories and practical strategies to be more present as we listen to them.
Healthy Ways to Listen: Giving dignity to the stories others are sharing…
In Episode #28 of The UN-Perfect Podcast, we discussed the value of our own stories – no matter how simple or complex they may be. God wants to use our stories in the lives of those around us that only WE can influence. In episode #29, we carry this discussion into the value of the stories of those around us. Often, we invent inaccurate stories about others and fail to value the one God has given them.
Healthy Ways to Listen: Strategies for exhibiting the with-ness of God as we sit with others in their stories…
Emanuel. God with us. Jesus is our ultimate example for sitting with others in their stories and reflecting the very presence of God. (Matthew 1:23) Next, we discuss practical ways to refrain from “selfish listening” and move toward healthy listening. This involves our posture, eyes, and the words we say – and refrain from saying – as we listen to another share their story. Listen in to hear the specifics (plus some behind-the-scenes to my podcast hosting techniques that may surprise you:).
