Master Mature Communication: Listen More, Talk Less

So we got to know who we represent, man. We got to know the God that we serve. So let's break this down. How can we speak like mature men and women of faith? First, it starts with self-awareness. What's the tone of your speech? Know I might have been a little rough today. I promise I'd probably try to tone it— you heard what I said. I said I promise I might try to tone it down. Next time, maybe. Are you quick to criticize or encourage? Do you react out of anger or respond with love and patience? When you talk to me about certain things, when I get on certain subjects, I gonna talk to you with patience. Talked about the presidency, the election, mm, there's no patience there whatsoever. So James 1:19 says, be quick to listen, but some of y'all don't. So some people just don't listen at all. And there's no way that you can learn anything if you don't listen. You cannot learn anything always talking. If you the one that's always talking, and then when somebody else talk, you talking over them because what you saying is more important than what anybody else saying. So you don't, you know, it ain't no communication there. It's just all about you. You cannot learn anything if you're always talking. And as I said before, some of you need to just quit talking all together and just shut up. Zip it. You ain't talking about nothing. That's just flat out. Uh, be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry.
