Conversation Killers

from Hope Beyond the Hurt Hosted by Trisha Warren

We want healthy relationships, but are our communication habits helping—or shutting down the conversation? When we learn to drive, we learn what our vehicle needs to run properly. Relationships also require us to learn about the person in front of us. What helps one person open up may cause another to shut down. In Season 4, Episode 59 of Hope Beyond the Hurt, Trisha Warren explores 10 ways to kill a conversation: Interrupting. Saying the same thing over and over. No eye contact or lack of attention. Refusing to apologize. Not owning what you did wrong. Yelling. Name-calling. Using a harsh tone of voice. Standing over someone to intimidate them. Being overbearing: “My way or else.” Drawing from James 1:19 and Proverbs 15:1, this episode offers practical ways to listen with consideration, take responsibility, and communicate with respect. You can begin making changes in your next conversation—one response at a time.
