In this thought-provoking discussion, we analyze a clip from Jordan Peterson and Matt Walsh where he explains the importance of listening over giving advice in his therapeutic practice. We explore how this same principle applies to discipleship and making followers of Jesus.

Too often, we fall into the trap of thinking information and teaching alone will transform people. However, as Peterson highlights, real change comes through self-discovery and revelation - something that requires patient listening and asking questions.

We contrast this with the common approaches to discipleship that prioritize imparting knowledge and making sure people "understand" before expecting change. Using examples from Jesus' life and ministry, we make the case that he modeled something different - asking questions that prompted self-reflection rather than lecturing.

This video will challenge you to reconsider your discipleship methods and help you develop an approach centered on humble listening, creating space for the Holy Spirit's work in people's lives. If you want to become more effective in helping others grow as true disciples, this is a perspective you won't want to miss.
