Listen: BLESS Part 3

So, how can we put this Christlike listening into work in our own lives? David W. Augsburger offer Ten Commandments of Listening that I'd like for us to consider this morning:

  • Understand First
  • Listen to THEM, not YOU
  • Don't Assume Intent = Impact
  • Stay Present
  • Hear the Whole Message
  • Avoid Wishful Hearing
  • Test Meaning Together
  • Listen Before Responding
  • Be Open to Growth
  • Honor Voices
