The Extra Mile: Listening Like Jesus
In this episode of the Exploring More Podcast, Michael Thompson and SJ Jennings continue their conversation on the transformative power of listening—not just with our ears, but with our hearts. Drawing from Jesus' invitation to go the extra mile, they explore what it means to carry someone's emotional or spiritual load by offering your full attention and presence.
With stories from encounter weekends, medic training, and the life of Jesus Himself, the hosts highlight the difference between "active" and "engaged" listening. They share how true listening builds trust, invites healing, and fosters deep relational and spiritual connection.
Michael and SJ reflect on the pain of being misunderstood, the power of asking good questions, and the sacred ministry of simply being with someone in their moment. In a world that often talks too much and listens too little, this episode is a call to love others by listening well—like Jesus did.
We hope you enjoy this episode and invite you to connect with us!
