When Listening Became Ministry: An Unexpected Moment on the Pulpit

When Listening Became Ministry: An Unexpected Moment on the Pulpit

May 08, 20251 min read

This wasn’t planned. It wasn’t scripted. But it was deeply significant.

During a service at House on the Rock, the Metropolitan Pastor Paul Adefarasin invited me, impromptu , to speak for just 45 seconds on a subject that has become my life’s calling: the power and practice of listening.

In that moment, standing on such a profound platform, it became unmistakably clear, listening is being recognized not just as a skill, but as a ministry, a leadership tool, and a strategy for social transformation.

This unexpected opportunity reaffirms everything we’ve been championing at The Listening School: that listening isn’t passive, it’s intentional, powerful, and essential to how we lead, love, and live.

Watch this short clip and ask yourself: Are we truly listening?

Let’s build a listening culture,one ear at a time.
