Have you ever walked away from a conversation thinking, “That’s not what I meant…” or “How did they hear it that way?”

In today’s episode, Peggy dives into one of the most common—and often overlooked—challenges in communication: miscommunication.

This conversation goes beyond surface-level misunderstandings and explores how even a single word can completely change meaning depending on context, tone, and personal interpretation.

• What miscommunication really is—and why it happens so often
• How assumptions shape what we hear (and get wrong)
• The powerful role of context, tone, and emotional state
• How slang and modern language can flip meanings entirely
• A deep dive into the word “fear”—dictionary vs. biblical meaning
• Practical tools to reduce misunderstandings and improve clarity

Miscommunication Happens When Meaning Doesn’t Match It’s not just about what’s said—it’s about how it’s heard.

Assumptions Are the Fast Track to Confusion We assume others understand us—and that we understand them. Both are risky.

Your Emotional State Matters Stress, past experiences, and mindset all influence how we interpret conversations.

Words Are Not Universal Simple words like “soon,” “fine,” or “fear” can carry completely different meanings.

Context Changes Everything Especially with slang or faith-based language—meaning can shift dramatically.

In everyday language:

• Anxiety, worry, or being afraid

In Scripture:

• Can mean fear or panic
• OR reverence, awe, and respect

Same word. Completely different meaning.

• Pause before responding
• Ask: “What do you mean by that?”
• Reflect back: “So what I’m hearing is…”
• Be intentional with your words
• Pay attention to tone
• Clarify definitions—especially in deeper conversations
• Summarize key points to ensure alignment

Pick a word like respect, commitment, discipline, or fear and ask someone: “What does that word mean to you?”

You might be surprised how different your definitions are.

Clarity builds connection. When we slow down, ask questions, and seek understanding—we don’t just communicate better… we connect better.
