The exploder: the person who uses their words angrily to cut down and snap at their loved ones.
The silent type: those who don’t talk all that much, preferring to keep their thoughts to themselves.
The unsure: happy to talk but not sure how to be spiritual.
Which one do you tend to be more like?
Why do you think men have a problem with our words and communication?
What was the last time someone said (or sent) you an encouraging word?

If you are an exploder, silent type, or unsure – what would you say is the heart of the problem for you personally?
What gospel encouragement have you received today to counter the heart of your communication problem?
Have a think through a personal situation and reapply those practical tips (be specific, be humble, keep God’s Kingdom in mind, be silent) – how would you talk through that situation again?
Spend some time praying together about what you’ve shared and what we’ve learned today.
