At New Life, any strategy to racial healing in our neighborhoods requires us to practice incarnational listening. Like Jesus’s movement from Word to flesh, incarnational listening requires three movements of the heart.5 1. Leave your world. Let go of the familiar, take the risk, and step out (especially with regard to race and culture). 2. Enter into someone else’s world. Practice active, humble, and curious listening. 3. Allow yourself to be formed by others. Open up to their worldviews while holding on to yourself.
