- Hi, my name is Alitheia

and I am a host on "The Superbook Show."

One of my favorite episodesI did is How to Listen.

Chandler was a great partner to work with

and I feel that themessage of this episode

was one of the most important ones to me

and came at a great time.

I am often guilty ofjumping to conclusions

and not paying attention,even when I think I am.

This episode was a great reminder to me

that paying attention toothers and listening to others,

especially when I reallywanna say something,

is the most important.

I hope you enjoy thisepisode and its message

as much as I do.

(swooshing)

Hey, you ready to start?

- Er, just a minute.

(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?

(mobile chiming)

(upbeat music)

(swooshing)

- 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 keyboard 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--

- Er, should you be interrupting

while you're talking about listening?

I don't love that.

- You interrupted me interrupting you.

Know what, never mind.

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

The Bible says we should bequick to hear, slow to speak

and slow to get angry.

- Quick to hear?

- Yeah, it's a common faultto speak before we have

all the facts.

And in spite of whether or notwe 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 yourfavorite food is tropical punch

fruit snacks and I know thatTuesdays are your hard days

at school because of your extra class.

And I know you can bepretty random sometimes

but you mean well.

- Aww.

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

it shows that I care.

- Aww.

- Listening also demonstrates humility.

- What do you mean?

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

- Oh, yeah.

- Well Proverbs 12 says,"the way of the fool is right

"in his own eyes but a wiseman listens to advice."

When someone's a know-it-allyou can't tell them anything.

- I gotta say I kinda 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 text was from my mom 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.
