Pastor Dale Benson, Pastor Caleb Aleshire & Shauna Suman
We must make space + time when listening to our families.
* Our kids go to teachers and pastors to talk to them about things they are uncomfortable talking to their parents about.
* When we remove distractions and make space for honesty, our children know they are being listened to.
By removing distractions, eliminating confusion, and dropping assumptions we make space for our listening to reflect the love of Christ.
LISTENING AT HOME
* Getting rid of distractions – The ruthless elimination of distractions
* What role am I playing? Teacher/Mentor/Friend
* What is the other person needing? Vent/Conversation/Advice
* Listening to understand rather than listening to respond.
Mark 5:21-34 (NLT)
Listen to reflect the love of Christ.
