Evaluation

Am I Listening Well?
Use this interactive assessment to evaluate your own listening skills, or as a place to start the conversation when training others.


Next Steps

The following resources can further your ability to listen well.

Go Deeper with God
One of the ways we can improve our listening skills within a small group is to apply those skills to our relationship with God. In other words, quieting ourselves to listen for God's Spirit will bring us the dual benefit of helping us listen more closely to others in the group, as well.



Getting Along with People
This five-session course emphasizes that we need to love by both our words and actions. That requires giving our lives to God and learning to say no to things that don't fit into our priorities. It involves learning to communicate lovingly and showing gratitude to God and others.
