Episode 260 - Be Quick To Listen, Slow To Speak, Slow To Become Angry

Tethered Thoughts with Bosede Santos

Explore James 1:19 and discover why being “quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger” is one of the most transformative principles for both faith and leadership. In this episode, I unpack how listening with empathy, pausing before reacting, and choosing restraint over impulse can reshape relationships, defuse conflict, and build trust.

Blending biblical wisdom with real-life stories, I look at how this verse connects to timeless patterns of communication and modern challenges — from navigating workplace pressure to handling tension at home. You’ll hear how slowing down your words creates space for clarity, how patience opens doors to understanding, and why a calm response often carries more influence than a forceful reaction.

Through practical steps, scriptural insights, and everyday parallels, this episode helps you cultivate the kind of presence that makes people feel heard, respected, and valued. If you want to strengthen relationships, grow in self-mastery, and lead with calm confidence, this conversation will show you how the wisdom of James 1:19 is as relevant now as ever.
