Culture of honor in communication

Home, Household, Honor Series - Culture of Honor in Communication



The quality of life depends on quality of relationships. 
The quality of relationship depends on quality of communication. 
Communication is all about relationships.
The quality of communication relies on trust. 
Trust is the key to communication, 

Common sense communication that is not so common today. 
Greeting, informing, acknowledging one another is common sense yet often not done.

1) Conscious Communication 
What we are / are not saying
(Un)intended audience
Matthew 11:4 out of abundance of heart, the mouth speaks. 
Key - Self-awareness and blind spots

2) Listening communication 
James 1:19 Let everyone be quick to listen, slow to speak.
Listen with your heart
Appropriate decoding (Interpretation) 
60% of communication comes from listening. Only 19% is absorbed.
Sometimes the sound of silence us so "loud"! 
Key - your heart

Do we listen with our heart ? 



3) Mindful communication 
Use of technology
The irony of smart phones is that it brings us closer with people who are distant from us and yet drives away the very people physically close to us. 
Closeness, Communication, 
Master our phones and not make them our master. 
Key - use of technology  
Code of honor :- 
Culture of honor in communication is essentially connection.
