Courageous Speaking & Courageous Listening

Jane Patterson reflects on how we might practice courageous speaking and listening that makes space for discerning God's truth and guidance in these times of difficult conversations  [1 Samuel 3:1-10, 11-20].

Reflection

• What do you know from your own experience of courageous speaking: what factors help others listen to you?
• What do you know from your own experience of courageous listening: what makes it harder to listen? What helps you listen?
• If you could write a letter to the future about the times we are living through, what wisdom would you want to hand down?
