Life Group leaders, this is a great little 6 minute video about the importance of fostering a listening atmosphere in your Life Group. It talks about active listening vs. passive listening and gives some suggestion on how to focus on active listening.
Like so many other, I love to hear myself talk. I also hate the sound of silence, especially when I ask a question at Life Group and wait to hear the answer. I usually start talking pretty fast to avoid having to put up with the sound of silence.
How about you? Do you think you listen well as a Life Group leader? Do you think your Group listens well?
