Show Notes Transcript Chapter Markers

Season 2 is here!  
We start  this season talking about Communication and how it is essential in building stronger relationships.
Listen as we discuss, among other things the importance of:

  • being clear
  • asking for feedback to gauge understanding
  • need for two-way communication
  • using the same language
  • 5 levels of communication (shallow to deep)
  • using the appropriate level based on the relationship
  • using deeper communication to grow relationships
  • going first - being vulnerable
  • being honest - address issues, not people
  • making time to have authentic conversations
  • realize you communicate with your words - as well as your tone and body language
  • being present (not on your device)

Note, we also have changed the format, with the Quiet Times following at the end, after discussing the Podcast topic.

Thanks for listening. Like Us. Share Us. Send us feedback, we want to communicate with you!

"Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Do everything in love.."
