“If I have only an hour with someone, I will spend the first 55 minutes asking questions and finding out what is troubling their heart and mind, and then in the last 5 minutes I will share something of the truth.”

Hearing is one of our natural senses, but listening is more.  Listening requires focus and attention.  In fact, good listening is just another way of talking.  It speaks clearly—it says, you’re important.  What you have to say—both your thoughts and feelings—are worthy of my consideration.  Good listening dignifies the speaker.

Good listening—focused and attentive—travels in the company of several other virtues: patience, empathy, unselfishness, courtesy, kindness, compassion, respect, and gratitude.  And probably many others besides.

But without the company of other virtues, listening is easily corrupted.  Stephen Covey, the late management guru, pointed out that “Most people do not listen with the intent to understand; they listen with the intent to reply.”

Non-Christians want to talk faith, but don't see Christians as good listeners, Barna finds

When Christians attempt to engage in conversation with non-believing friends and family, they should not rush the effort to evangelize, says a study by the Barna Group.
