Dwell Differently Say Again? How to Love by Listening // Natalie & Vera
"This verse is for all people for all time. If you've ever met another person, this verse is for you."
— Vera Schmitz
Today's episode: On today's episode, Dwell Differently sisters Natalie and Vera are chatting about James 1:19 by diving into what it looks like to be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry (Spoiler alert: It's a lot harder than it sounds!). They confess the conversational pitfalls they often fall into like interrupting others or finishing someone's sentence or listening only to speak. And they also offer some practical applications of James 1:19, such as listening for understanding, giving grace to the other person, and saying back what you heard. You'll enjoy hearing their stories, and you'll be encouraged to take this verse to heart as you allow God's Word and his Spirit to work in you and make you a more loving communicator.
This month's memory verse: "My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry." — James 1:19
