Listening for Heaven's Sake (Tuesday evenings)
Listening for Heaven’s Sake is an 8 week online class devoted to building skills that focus on warmth, empathy and respect. These skills help us to express deep understanding and respect in every relationship. The skills are also utilized when we find ourselves communicating with others. We can become stuck in frustration, misunderstanding or conflict when it comes to communicating what we think, feel or want. Listening for Heaven's Sake is for people who want to learn to be genuinely caring and compassionate with everyone you meet without becoming anxious or overly involved. There are no prerequisites for this class.
In this eight-week class, we will rely on biblical insight, practical exercises, humorous skits, and hands-on coaching to begin to recognize and break bad habits that contribute to unhealthy communications. Listening teaches what it means to show warmth, empathy and respect. There is also a section in the class devoted to listening to God. This class is highly recommended for people in all stages of life: teens, young adults, single or married, parents, prayer ministers, small group leaders, and those in the work force. The skills are timeless.
The class will be co-taught by Kristin Colligan and Glennis Pittman with help from Jack Colligan. Between them, these three facilitators bring unique gifts and skills, having experience teaching the course in a wide variety of settings. After the initial 8 week course, opportunities to continue practicing your skills will be available for additional 4 weeks.
If you plan on attending the course with your spouse or another family member, be sure to add them to your registration for a $15 discount.
The cost of the required Class Notes workbook is included in the registration price. However, if you already have the Class Notes workbook, use code "NOTES" at checkout for an additional 35% off.
