S2 Episode 4: Understanding the Power of Words ft. Mike Freeman
Manage episode 315995260 series 3207083
The words we use create the structure for communicating a thought or idea to others, and play a massive role in whether what we say is understood or not. This episode features a discussion with Pastor Mike Freeman - a lover of words and avid student of scripture. Since childhood, Mike has cultivated a lasting love of the Bible and its many layers, including learning to read it in the original Hebrew and Greek. Mike has read, memorized, and recited entire books of the Bible from memory - both as a teaching tool, as well as a way to orient his own life.
In this episode of Just Around the Corner, Mike joins Dennis in diving into the power and importance of words. Together, they discuss how leaders can use effective communication to circumvent tired cliches and honestly engage with others - whether teaching from the pulpit, or meeting with employees.
