This episode is the fourth installment in a ten-part series on learning to love with all our heart, part of a broader goal this year to study the greatest commandments – to love the Lord (and our neighbor) with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength.  In every account of the gospels, the command to love always begins with the heart… and today I’d like to introduce an audience I love to a friend I love… a friend that is an expert on heart-to-heart communication.

I’d like you to meet Kenny Embry.  He runs the Balancing the Christian Life podcast, which is absolutely excellent (https://www.balancingthechristianlife.com/),but more importantly for our purposes today, Kenny is a communications professor for St. Leo's University.  Dr. Embry is a bona fide expert on how to effectively communicate ideas and why that doesn’t always happen.

As we talk about loving from the heart, I think communication is, by and large, a heart issue. Or, maybe another way to put that is, when we miscommunicate, we tend to miss each other's heart. I thought I'd talk to Kenny and see if I had gotten anywhere near the right mark with that hypothesis.  Kenny’s insights were useful for me, and I suspect they will be the same for you.
