![]() Re-posted from Agapé Europe and originally appeared in Agapé U.K.’s Move Magazine. What are your favorite ways to start a gospel conversation, or take a conversation deeper? If they say ‘No,’ I ask, ‘So, what do you believe in?’ It doesn’t pigeon-hole you into a religion, but it introduces the idea of faith. Admit and take advantage of the fact you don't know the answer in order to discover the answer together!”Īgapé Staff “One question that is so simple but I find completely opens up conversations is ‘Are you a person of faith?’ Frequently people begin to talk about their religious background, their perspective. Ask why people do things or think certain ways.”Īgapé Staff, Overseas “Be honest. Most questions of general interest are only two to four questions away from a spiritual question. Spiritual conversations are often about being interested in other people enough to ask them questions. This seems so simple, but my experience would suggest that even if this comes relatively naturally all of us could develop and improve this discipline.”Īgapé Student Life, Nottingham “Be curious about people. Most of my best conversations with people (wherever they're at in relation to God) have come from me talking less and listening well. “One of the biggest things I've learnt in my time with Agapé is the power of listening well and asking good questions. “Have you ever thought about God in your life before?” “What have you heard about Jesus/ Christianity?” “What gives meaning and purpose to your life?” If in the beginning there was man and God (assuming the Bible is true). No one comes to the Father except through me. “What values and causes are you most passionate about? Why?” 6) How can Christians say their religion is the only true one a. This question was also a popular one with our staff.
