Pray. Listen. Speak.
Yes & Amen!
Lisa, thank you for sharing this book.

Thanks for posing this question, Lisa. I err more on the side of listening and waiting for the right time to speak, choosing sometimes not to speak at all. I really appreciated the point that as Christians we’re not meant to be silent. My prayer is to know when to speak up, what to say and when to remain silent.
Raise your Voice sounds like a good read — I’m adding it to my list now.
Blessings to you this Advent season.

For most of my life I’ve been the quick to speak and anger guy. That’s that ugly pride thing we’ve been talking about now for close to a decade.

It is humility that doesn’t have to be right. It is that humility that seeks to understand…

Sounds like a wonderful ministry. Glad you’re on board!

If I don’t already have an opinion on the subject, I take too long to voice it, and yes, I usually lose the chance. If I have an opinion, look out, because it’s coming out one way or another. I wish I’d had a book like this years ago. It’s going in my Amazon cart now?

Great review! I definitely err on the side of being hesitant to speak up, especially if it means fighting to be heard, but there are definitely times when we need to do that.

I noticed and appreciated the prevalence of prayer in this business of speaking up. What a great way to make sure we’re not just adding to the noise!

Depends on the context and who I’m talking to! Typically I’m too quick to offer help and say yes, but very slow in expressing my opinion or feelings. Thanks for the wisdom here Lisa!

Lisa, I think the work you are doing in this area is so admirable. I will check out the FB group. A group that has a quiet period of learning and reading sounds appealing. I am trying to make my social media experience more positive. I tend to not want to ruffle feathers, but this is an issue near and dear to my heart. I need to find the courage to prayerfully speak up!

Hello Lisa. I always enjoy visiting your site. It is like visiting my favorite restaurant-there is always something I enjoy on the menu. I am more reserved when it comes to speaking up. I tend to sit back and think about what I am going say-asking God to give me wisdom if I should speak at all. I am learning to move past my fears and follow His lead. I enjoyed your video. It was nice to put a voice with the face and words of Lisa Notes. I hope you will have a fantastic holiday season and may God bless you and yours this Christmas.

I was drawn by your title and even more by your post. Love the Be the Bridge group you’ve joined and your call for the 1st three months. It reminds me of lectio dinia – the practice of praying through life and the Word.
