What Is a Spiritual Conversation?
A spiritual conversation is any conversation with a normal, nonchurched person about spiritual issues.
Three Things We Learn From Jesus
1. Spiritual conversations happen in ordinary places with ordinary people.
2. Spiritual conversations happen when we take the initiative. People will not listen to you if they feel you do not like them.
3. Spiritual conversations happen by listening well.
