2nd Quarter: AOD Blog #11

Having an occupation as a pastor requires great listening skills.  In Arts of Democracy, I have learned about active listening.  Active listening is when someone encourages the speaker and searches for meaning.  My pastor is also a licensed psychiatrist and has had experience with dealing with patients as well as teenagers because he was also a high school counselor.  When dealing with these patients/teens, he had to actively listening to their problems and issues to try and find ways to help them solve their problem(s) and issue(s).
