Thad's Talks episodes

  • Words with Friends - The Rev. Jimmy Bartz
    Scripture: James 3: 1-12
    Homework: Go where you are weak. If you are a natural talker, practice deep listening. If you are a quiet listener, practice unlocking the power of speech. Whichever practice you take on this week, do it with this question in mind, "What is the suffering of the person with whom I am speaking?" Whether that phrase allows you to hear harsh language or tell a good joke, bring that compassion to your listening or speaking.
    Have a great week!
