Listening for Pain vs. Listening for Debate Points

Have you ever walked away from a conversation knowing you ‘won’ the argument—but lost the person? Jesus never called us to score debate points—He called us to be salt in a world that’s rotting from the inside out. Today, we’re diving into what it means to hear the pain behind the words, to enter the hurt instead of avoiding the mess, and to minister in meekness rather than muscle. It’s time to trade quick comebacks for compassionate listening—and discover how Christ’s way changes hearts, starting with ours.
