Contemplative Listening: The Foundation of Spiritual Friendship and Direction

Scripture resounds with God’s call to “Listen!” The discipline and gift of listening is core to the art of spiritual direction, as well as to friendship, church life, and civic engagement. Yet few professional and academic programs teach us how to listen well. It is a spiritual discipline in need of revival. In the midst of a driven, seductive, and distracting culture, cultivate the skill of orienting yourself toward God’s voice, and toward the voices of other people.
