Synopsis

Award-winning author and pastor of WestGate Church gives thoughtful, Biblical guidance for how to hear God and share His love in a culture of noise.
 
The effects of social media and the news are felt deeply in our day-to-day lives. The countless voices—the pundits, the influencers, the personalities—offering opinions and spewing vitriol nonstop have created a cacophony of chaos. It’s difficult to know what’s true or who to trust. It’s difficult to hear God and be heard.

In this book, pastor and author Jay Kim offers thoughtful, concrete guidance for how to listen amidst the noise, hear God, and then speak Good News so to be heard. Drawing on Scripture, social science, and cultural exegesis, Kim helps readers: Listen through prayer, reading the Bible, and participating in the church Better understand the environment and effects of social media, news media, and politics Share the Good News in this environment, encouraging those in your day-to-day life Practical, biblical, and eminently wise, Listen, Listen, Speak is an indispensable guidebook for Christians living in our culture today. It will equip you to not just speak into the chaos with the love of Jesus but, more importantly, to listen—to one another and to God.

Goodreads review by Cassie on May 23, 2024

I read Jay Kim’s “Analog Church” during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. It was helpful, despite the irony of the timing! “Listen, Listen, Speak” is a great continuation of the conversation on the noise of our increasingly online world and how to listen for God’s voice. I loved the mix of resear......more

Goodreads review by Conrade on May 15, 2024

We want to be heard and understood. More often than not, people tend to mistake one for the other. In this social media culture, visibility is often linked to those who can speak the loudest, share the most, and attract the most attention. That is not always true. In fact, once the dust settles, we......more

Goodreads review by Andrew on April 11, 2024

Excellent book. The best part is the exegetical insights from Scripture. This book will help you reflect on various aspects of the Christian life in a chaotic age. And unlike other books these days, none of it was written by AI. Jay Kim has written two books focusing on digital technologies and socia......more

"Listen, Listen, Speak is a fresh word. This book is not the same old message about avoiding social media and the news, or escaping from the 'placeless places' that are discipling us. Rather, author and pastor Jay Kim beckons the reader to stay rooted in holy listening, in the actual places we are planted, and in God's very real presence--so that when we finally speak, we do so as the 'Good News' people God has declared us to be.
