45. WHAT IS THE
BIBLE’S TONE?
WillYou Listen?

46. How many of you have misunderstood
a communication, a letter, an e-mail, a
text because you didn’t hear the tone.
There was no facial expression or
emotion behind it. You didn’t have
access to that so you
misrepresented—you misinterpreted
the information.

WHEN AVOIDING
CONFLICT IS A
BAD THING

57. For many of you, there are areas of
your life God can’t speak into because
you don’t want to change? You’re not
listening. And what God wants to do
with the leaders is get them to change
and then be agents of change to go
teach others what it’s like to change.
