068 Tim Shorey: Respect the Image: How to Communicate Well

Our homes are filled with words. Some of these words are helpful and unfortunately, some are not.

What if we had some help thinking biblically about communication?
In today's podcast, we're going to be talking with my friend, Tim Shorey about his book Respect the Image. In that book, Tim uses the acrostic COMMUNICATE to give us biblical principles of communication.

Chill
Open Up
Make Time
Mean What You Say
Understand What You Hear
Nourish with Grace
Initiate Peace
Celebrate Others
Assume You are Wrong
Think the Best
Examine Your Heart

I think you'll find our conversation enjoyable and practical as you seek to speak in a godly way and as you seek to train your children to speak in a godly way.

Tim has been a believer for over 40 years and has been in active pastoral ministry since 1982. He is Risen Hope’s primary preaching pastor.

He is the author of Respect the Image: Reflecting Human Worth in How We Listen and Talk.
He has also written An ABC Prayer to Jesus: Praise for Hearts Both Young and Old; along with two devotional books, Worship Worthy: Alliterative Adoration, and 30/30 Hindsight: 30 Reflections on a 30-Year Headache.
