The act of listening and the experience of being heard have both a social and an existential significance for people. The act of speaking and listening serves to facilitate connections between individuals, thereby enabling the formation of relationships. The quality of human relationships is contingent upon the extent to which individuals are heard, as this serves as the foundation for interaction. In light of an integrated, interdisciplinary analysis of interpersonal listening and the act of being heard, this paper will delineate the implications for a Christian understanding of these phenomena.
