Teachable Moments - Part 2: ”Me, Myself, & I”

This is week 2 of this study and it explores what we do with what our fathers knew best to teach us (Week 1).  Who do we listen to?  Anyone?  What about God?  

• Hearing is simply the  act of perceiving sound by the ear. If you are not hearing-impaired, hearing simply happens.
• Listening,  however, is something you consciously choose to do. Listening requires concentration so that your brain  processes meaning from words and sentences. Listening leads to learning.

"We're hearing everything, but we're listening to something."
