Listen to the latest 60 second episode of Integrity Moments with Rick Boxx
On a flight back to Kansas City, I was seated next to an entrepreneur who talked nonstop. For the next hour, I listened to this businessman talk about his business.
By listening intently, I built trust with him. Suddenly he blurted out, “I had leukemia four years ago. Yesterday the doctors told me they think my leukemia is back.”
I don’t know if this person believes in God, but he agreed to let Kathy and I pray for him. Thanks to my willingness to listen, hopefully, some seeds of faith were planted.
James 1:19 teaches, “My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry.”
Sometimes the best path to a conversation about faith is to listen.
