Practice #2

Our second foundational practice was very important in the ministry of Jesus but is often overlooked today.  It involves two people of the same gender sharing what they are hearing from Jesus as close to daily as possible.  We call these two people “listening partners”.  This practice captures the Lord’s value for living life in pairs (See, for instance, Matthew 10:2-4 where all twelve disciples are listed in pairs.  Also, Luke 10:1 where the 72 are sent out two by two.)  This practice also recognizes the importance of daily encouragement (Hebrews 3:13).

This is not to minimize the importance of a married couple also being listening partners.  There is great value for this practice in both contexts – in marriage and in a same gender friendship.

Questions: What is Jesus saying to you?  How are you responding?  How can I help?
