Recently, in prayer, I was reminded of my own stubbornness, much like a toddler wanting to do things my way, only to later wonder why I struggle to hear God. This led me to see that I approach interactions with people similarly—focusing on my own agenda instead of truly listening. It is a humbling realization that challenges me to communicate more thoughtfully as a Christian professional.

In today’s world, the idea of “truth” can feel like a moving target. People often talk about “my truth” as if it changes based on personal feelings, opinions, or the latest news. However, for the Christian, there is only one absolute truth: God’s Word. God is truth, and His declarations are eternally true. Effective communication requires us to be mindful of what we say, with a commitment to uphold this absolute truth.
