About this listen
Respectful disagreement is becoming a lost art. Yet it may be one of the most powerful tools for healing our families, friendships, and communities. Recently, I was attacked on my personal Facebook page for my beliefs. I was insulted, accused, and shamed simply for having a different perspective. That experience became a profound eye-opener, highlighting how essential respect is when differences in opinion, affiliation, or belief arise. It was clear that some people default to name-calling and accusations rather than asking thoughtful questions or creating space for an open exchange of ideas. This leads us to some important questions. How can we speak truth without hostility? How can we listen without defensiveness? And how can we remain grounded in love even when opinions differ? I will share how learning to pause, reflect, and choosing connection over conflict can become a pathway to understanding, healing, and genuine connection.
