The Lost Art of Listening with Pastor Brian Davies

Listening may be the most powerful yet underutilized tool in our spiritual arsenal, particularly in a culture that prizes quick responses and winning arguments over deep understanding.

• Pastor Brian Davies introduces his book "Captivating Conversations: How Christians Can Reclaim the Lost Art of Listening" 
• Jesus modeled asking questions rather than simply giving answers, demonstrating that transformation happens through invitation, not instruction
• The "OCI" approach—being Open, Curious, and Inquisitive—creates space for genuine dialogue and relationship
• Leadership should mirror Christ's approach of "leading through" rather than "leading over" people
• Asking good questions helps us understand the stories behind people's positions and creates bridges for meaningful conversation
• When Christians focus more on ecclesiology than mission, we lose perspective on what matters most
• Our posture toward fellow believers should prioritize unity in mission over critiquing differences in practice
