November Parent Book Club: "I Said This, You Heard That"

November 2021: I Said This, You Heard That 

by Kathleen Edelman

If you've ever said the wrong thing (or said the right thing the wrong way), you know how quickly your mouth can make a big mess. But it doesn't have to be that way.

This 6-session video study explores how your wiring affects what you say, how you listen, and how others hear you. After taking the 40-question assessment, you'll learn a simple framework that will instantly improve your communication. And you'll see how advice from the apostle Paul thousands of years ago may have held the secret all along. This workbook is intended to be used with the I Said This, You Heard That videos, available for free on the App (App Store and Google Play) or for purchase on the DVD (ISBN 860187000879).

Discussion Points:

• Have you ever made a resolution or tried to break a habit related to your words? Was it easy or hard?

• What are some of the words - positive or negative - you remember being spoken to you as a child?

• Think about a time someone wrote or spoke words that built you up.

• Has anything (e.g., a book, a sermon, personality profile, or wise principle) helped improve your communication with others?

• Why do you think God cares about our words?
