They reflect on Scripture, including James’ call to be quick to listen and slow to speak, the unity of the early Church in Acts, and Jesus’ use of questions and parables. They explore good listening as a spiritual discipline shaped by prayer, Scripture, community and the Holy Spirit. \n\nThe conversation highlights the need for patience, empathy and self-examination, especially when discussing faith with those who think differently.\nTimestamps\nRooted:\nRooted is our devotional journal that helps make the Bible available to everyone, everywhere.
