Active Listening: Relaxing Into God’s Hands - Renewal Conversation with Dr. Al Rossi
How many times have you listened to others entirely and been there to support them? Probably many, many times.
How many times have you been listened to and fully understood by others? This does not happen often for many Christian Women professionals and servant leaders.
Although listening is natural to most of us, there are unique "ingredients" to the act that can produce amazing transformation. And you are probably instinctively doing it very well.
Effective listening has a lot to unpack, and we can have a full-day retreat on this topic! 🤣 (By the way, I've led many retreats and workshops about this, so if you are interested, let me know.)
And we can always improve at listening and teaching others how to do it.
In today's interview, Dr. Al Rossi and I discuss this topic, along with many other nuggets, so you can get some practical steps for your renewal.
If you don't know him, Dr. Al Rossi is the Director of Counseling and a Clinical Psychologist at St. Vladimir Seminary, an Orthodox Christian Seminary.

✨ About Dr. Al's journey from a Roman Catholic monk to completing his doctorate in psychology and to where he is today.
