Discernment is a way of listening that integrates the movement of God, our deeply held desires, and our connection to the world around us. This means we have to find a way to access our feelings without dismissing, repressing, preaching to, or shaming ourselves for them. To walk into a room as a listener means we’re listening not only to the room around us but also to the room within, the interior home we bring with us, the shelter of our inner life.
