ldquoBe quick to listen slow to speakrdquo mdashJames 119
In this noisy distracting world it is difficult to truly hear People talk past each other eager to be heard
but somehow deaf to what is being said Listening is an essential skill for healthy relationships both
with God and with other people But it is more than that listening is a way of life
Adam McHugh places listening at the heart of our spirituality our relationships and our mission in
the world God himself is the God who hears and we too can learn to hear what God may be sayingthrough creation through Scripture through people By cultivating a posture of listening we become
more attentive and engaged with those around us and more able to minister to those in distress
Our lives are qualitatively differentmdashindeed bettermdashwhen we become listeners Heed the call to the
listening life and hear what God is doing in you and the world
ldquoAdam McHugh is a voice worth listening to His new book will be a gift to
anyone who wants to cultivate what Jesus called lsquoears to hearrsquordquo
John Ortberg senior pastor of Menlo Park Presbyterian Church
Adam S McHugh (ThM Princeton Theological Seminary) is an ordained Presbyterian
minister and spiritual director He has served at two Presbyterian churches as a hospice chap-
lain and as campus staff with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship He is the author of Introverts in
the Church and lives in Santa Barbara California

In this noisy distracting world it is difficult to truly hear People talk past each other eager to be heard
but somehow deaf to what is being said Listening is an essential skill for healthy relationships both
with God and with other people But it is more than that listening is a way of life
Adam McHugh places listening at the heart of our spirituality our relationships and our mission in
the world God himself is the God who hears and we too can learn to hear what God may be sayingthrough creation through Scripture through people By cultivating a posture of listening we become
more attentive and engaged with those around us and more able to minister to those in distress
Our lives are qualitatively differentmdashindeed bettermdashwhen we become listeners Heed the call to the
listening life and hear what God is doing in you and the world
ldquoAdam McHugh is a voice worth listening to His new book will be a gift to
anyone who wants to cultivate what Jesus called lsquoears to hearrsquordquo
John Ortberg senior pastor of Menlo Park Presbyterian Church

minister and spiritual director He has served at two Presbyterian churches as a hospice chap-
lain and as campus staff with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship He is the author of Introverts in

ldquoBe quick to listen slow to speakrdquo mdashJames 119
In this noisy distracting world it is difficult to truly hear People talk past each other eager to be heard
but somehow deaf to what is being said Listening is an essential skill for healthy relationships both
with God and with other people But it is more than that listening is a way of life
Adam McHugh places listening at the heart of our spirituality our relationships and our mission in
the world God himself is the God who hears and we too can learn to hear what God may be sayingthrough creation through Scripture through people By cultivating a posture of listening we become
more attentive and engaged with those around us and more able to minister to those in distress
Our lives are qualitatively differentmdashindeed bettermdashwhen we become listeners Heed the call to the
listening life and hear what God is doing in you and the world

ldquoBe quick to listen slow to speakrdquo mdashJames 119
In this noisy distracting world it is difficult to truly hear People talk past each other eager to be heard
but somehow deaf to what is being said Listening is an essential skill for healthy relationships both
with God and with other people But it is more than that listening is a way of life
Adam McHugh places listening at the heart of our spirituality our relationships and our mission in
the world God himself is the God who hears and we too can learn to hear what God may be sayingthrough creation through Scripture through people By cultivating a posture of listening we become
more attentive and engaged with those around us and more able to minister to those in distress
Our lives are qualitatively differentmdashindeed bettermdashwhen we become listeners Heed the call to the
listening life and hear what God is doing in you and the world
ldquoAdam McHugh is a voice worth listening to His new book will be a gift to
anyone who wants to cultivate what Jesus called lsquoears to hearrsquordquo
John Ortberg senior pastor of Menlo Park Presbyterian Church
Adam S McHugh (ThM Princeton Theological Seminary) is an ordained Presbyterian
minister and spiritual director He has served at two Presbyterian churches as a hospice chap-
lain and as campus staff with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship He is the author of Introverts in

ldquoBe quick to listen slow to speakrdquo mdashJames 119
In this noisy distracting world it is difficult to truly hear People talk past each other eager to be heard
but somehow deaf to what is being said Listening is an essential skill for healthy relationships both
with God and with other people But it is more than that listening is a way of life
Adam McHugh places listening at the heart of our spirituality our relationships and our mission in
the world God himself is the God who hears and we too can learn to hear what God may be sayingthrough creation through Scripture through people By cultivating a posture of listening we become
more attentive and engaged with those around us and more able to minister to those in distress
Our lives are qualitatively differentmdashindeed bettermdashwhen we become listeners Heed the call to the
listening life and hear what God is doing in you and the world
ldquoAdam McHugh is a voice worth listening to His new book will be a gift to
anyone who wants to cultivate what Jesus called lsquoears to hearrsquordquo
John Ortberg senior pastor of Menlo Park Presbyterian Church
Adam S McHugh (ThM Princeton Theological Seminary) is an ordained Presbyterian
minister and spiritual director He has served at two Presbyterian churches as a hospice chap-
lain and as campus staff with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship He is the author of Introverts in

ldquoBe quick to listen slow to speakrdquo mdashJames 119
In this noisy distracting world it is difficult to truly hear People talk past each other eager to be heard
but somehow deaf to what is being said Listening is an essential skill for healthy relationships both
with God and with other people But it is more than that listening is a way of life
Adam McHugh places listening at the heart of our spirituality our relationships and our mission in
the world God himself is the God who hears and we too can learn to hear what God may be sayingthrough creation through Scripture through people By cultivating a posture of listening we become
more attentive and engaged with those around us and more able to minister to those in distress
Our lives are qualitatively differentmdashindeed bettermdashwhen we become listeners Heed the call to the
listening life and hear what God is doing in you and the world
ldquoAdam McHugh is a voice worth listening to His new book will be a gift to
anyone who wants to cultivate what Jesus called lsquoears to hearrsquordquo
John Ortberg senior pastor of Menlo Park Presbyterian Church
Adam S McHugh (ThM Princeton Theological Seminary) is an ordained Presbyterian
minister and spiritual director He has served at two Presbyterian churches as a hospice chap-
lain and as campus staff with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship He is the author of Introverts in

ldquoBe quick to listen slow to speakrdquo mdashJames 119
In this noisy distracting world it is difficult to truly hear People talk past each other eager to be heard
but somehow deaf to what is being said Listening is an essential skill for healthy relationships both
with God and with other people But it is more than that listening is a way of life
Adam McHugh places listening at the heart of our spirituality our relationships and our mission in
the world God himself is the God who hears and we too can learn to hear what God may be sayingthrough creation through Scripture through people By cultivating a posture of listening we become
more attentive and engaged with those around us and more able to minister to those in distress
Our lives are qualitatively differentmdashindeed bettermdashwhen we become listeners Heed the call to the
listening life and hear what God is doing in you and the world
ldquoAdam McHugh is a voice worth listening to His new book will be a gift to
anyone who wants to cultivate what Jesus called lsquoears to hearrsquordquo
John Ortberg senior pastor of Menlo Park Presbyterian Church
Adam S McHugh (ThM Princeton Theological Seminary) is an ordained Presbyterian
minister and spiritual director He has served at two Presbyterian churches as a hospice chap-
lain and as campus staff with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship He is the author of Introverts in

ldquoBe quick to listen slow to speakrdquo mdashJames 119
In this noisy distracting world it is difficult to truly hear People talk past each other eager to be heard
but somehow deaf to what is being said Listening is an essential skill for healthy relationships both
with God and with other people But it is more than that listening is a way of life
Adam McHugh places listening at the heart of our spirituality our relationships and our mission in
the world God himself is the God who hears and we too can learn to hear what God may be sayingthrough creation through Scripture through people By cultivating a posture of listening we become
more attentive and engaged with those around us and more able to minister to those in distress
Our lives are qualitatively differentmdashindeed bettermdashwhen we become listeners Heed the call to the
listening life and hear what God is doing in you and the world
ldquoAdam McHugh is a voice worth listening to His new book will be a gift to
anyone who wants to cultivate what Jesus called lsquoears to hearrsquordquo
John Ortberg senior pastor of Menlo Park Presbyterian Church
Adam S McHugh (ThM Princeton Theological Seminary) is an ordained Presbyterian
minister and spiritual director He has served at two Presbyterian churches as a hospice chap-
lain and as campus staff with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship He is the author of Introverts in

ldquoBe quick to listen slow to speakrdquo mdashJames 119
In this noisy distracting world it is difficult to truly hear People talk past each other eager to be heard
but somehow deaf to what is being said Listening is an essential skill for healthy relationships both
with God and with other people But it is more than that listening is a way of life
Adam McHugh places listening at the heart of our spirituality our relationships and our mission in
the world God himself is the God who hears and we too can learn to hear what God may be sayingthrough creation through Scripture through people By cultivating a posture of listening we become
more attentive and engaged with those around us and more able to minister to those in distress
Our lives are qualitatively differentmdashindeed bettermdashwhen we become listeners Heed the call to the
listening life and hear what God is doing in you and the world
ldquoAdam McHugh is a voice worth listening to His new book will be a gift to
anyone who wants to cultivate what Jesus called lsquoears to hearrsquordquo
John Ortberg senior pastor of Menlo Park Presbyterian Church
Adam S McHugh (ThM Princeton Theological Seminary) is an ordained Presbyterian
minister and spiritual director He has served at two Presbyterian churches as a hospice chap-
lain and as campus staff with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship He is the author of Introverts in

ldquoBe quick to listen slow to speakrdquo mdashJames 119
In this noisy distracting world it is difficult to truly hear People talk past each other eager to be heard
but somehow deaf to what is being said Listening is an essential skill for healthy relationships both
with God and with other people But it is more than that listening is a way of life
Adam McHugh places listening at the heart of our spirituality our relationships and our mission in
the world God himself is the God who hears and we too can learn to hear what God may be sayingthrough creation through Scripture through people By cultivating a posture of listening we become
more attentive and engaged with those around us and more able to minister to those in distress
Our lives are qualitatively differentmdashindeed bettermdashwhen we become listeners Heed the call to the
listening life and hear what God is doing in you and the world
ldquoAdam McHugh is a voice worth listening to His new book will be a gift to
anyone who wants to cultivate what Jesus called lsquoears to hearrsquordquo
John Ortberg senior pastor of Menlo Park Presbyterian Church
Adam S McHugh (ThM Princeton Theological Seminary) is an ordained Presbyterian
minister and spiritual director He has served at two Presbyterian churches as a hospice chap-
lain and as campus staff with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship He is the author of Introverts in

ldquoBe quick to listen slow to speakrdquo mdashJames 119
In this noisy distracting world it is difficult to truly hear People talk past each other eager to be heard
but somehow deaf to what is being said Listening is an essential skill for healthy relationships both
with God and with other people But it is more than that listening is a way of life
Adam McHugh places listening at the heart of our spirituality our relationships and our mission in
the world God himself is the God who hears and we too can learn to hear what God may be sayingthrough creation through Scripture through people By cultivating a posture of listening we become
more attentive and engaged with those around us and more able to minister to those in distress
Our lives are qualitatively differentmdashindeed bettermdashwhen we become listeners Heed the call to the
listening life and hear what God is doing in you and the world
ldquoAdam McHugh is a voice worth listening to His new book will be a gift to
anyone who wants to cultivate what Jesus called lsquoears to hearrsquordquo
John Ortberg senior pastor of Menlo Park Presbyterian Church
Adam S McHugh (ThM Princeton Theological Seminary) is an ordained Presbyterian
minister and spiritual director He has served at two Presbyterian churches as a hospice chap-
lain and as campus staff with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship He is the author of Introverts in
