I AM LISTENING!
I AM LISTENING!
Chapter 4; p. 62-63Chapter 4; p. 62-63
Proverbs 18:13
Spouting off
before listening to the facts
is both shameful and foolish.
Famous saying:• We have 2 ears and 1 mouth,
to listen twice as much as we speak.
It is not a question of “can you hear?”…
It’s more a question of “Are you listening?”

some sounds are ignored or no attention is given to them. May not realize anything happened.
Hearing vs. Listening
•Listening: A conscious mental process•Your brain is fully
involved•Making sense of
noises
Responsibility of the Audience

message
• Interpret the meaning

Honest evaluation
