- Hey, you ready to start?

- Uh, just a minute.

(timer ticking)

- We have to start now, what do you say?

- I love it!

- Okay.

Three, two, one.

Welcome to the Superbook Show.

- Wait, we're starting?

(dramatic music)

- I asked you if you were ready to start.

- I thought you said,"Are you ready for art."

Art, I love art.

- Why would I say that now?

- I don't know, you can bepretty random sometimes.

I'm not judging.

- Maybe we should talktoday about listening.

(phone clicking)

- Okay, so you wanna talk about what now?

- Listening.

- Oh I love listening!

- Just like art, huh?

- Yeah, how'd you know?

- You just said--

- Uh, should you be interrupting

while you're talking about listening?

I don't love that.

- You interrupted me interrupting you.

Know what, nevermind.

- You know, I'm glad you brought this up.

The Bible says we should be quick to hear,

slow to speak, and slow to get angry.

- Quick to hear?

- Yeah, it's a common fault to speak

before we have all the facts.

And in spite of whether or not we have

anything good to say.

- You've got a point.

- Also, listening makes theperson you're talking to

feel like you actually care.

- How so?

- Well, I know that your favorite food

is tropical punch fruit snacks

and I know that Tuesday'sare your hard days at school

because of your extra class.

And I know you can bepretty random sometimes,

but you mean well.

- Aw.

- See, by taking the time tolisten to what you told me

it shows that I care.

- Aw.

- Listening also demonstrates humility.

- What do you mean?

- Have you ever talked tosomebody who's a know-it-all?

- Oh, yeah.

- Well, Proverbs 12 saysthe way the fool is right

in his own eyes, but awise man listens to advice.

When someone's a know-it-all,you can't tell them anything.

- I gotta say, I kind of feellike a know-it-all today.

- Really, how so?

- I was expecting to be theone who taught on listening

because you weren't listening earlier.

- Well, that's the thing Alitheia.

- What's that?

- I asked you to wait aminute before we started.

The texts was from myMom and an emergency.

She always takes precedence.

- You said wait a minute, so I...

I'm so sorry.

- It's cool.

His word is forever alive.
