In case you missed, here is a recap of our leadership meeting for all agents of The Journey...

We ate donuts and cider from Vandermill's. You missed out.

We toured the construction and took some time praying in the new building.

We watch part of a bond film and discussed having spiritual conversations.

As part of being agents who live out the mission, it is our responsibility to have spiritual conversations with people. There are people all around us and we can help them take first steps and/or next steps...people like our unchurched friends, or people in our journey group or even our family. However, have conversations about God aren't always easy and they can be uncomfortable. So, what should we do to have spiritual conversations with people. Here are a few ideas we talked about...

1) Understand that it isn't optional so be intentional. Jesus didn't give us an occasion commission to do when we feel like it but a Great Commission (Matt 28:18-20). So let's be intentional or it would happen. Go to the small places around town. Eat lunch in the break room. Hang out in the front yard, not the back. Schedule time to talk with your family or talk about church on the way home or at lunch on Sunday. Have coffee with individuals in your group...whatever, be intentional. One of the best ideas shared was asking people what they did this past weekend - then you can say...I went to church

2) No matter what, it will be uncomfortable. We might not know what to say or do. So we are uncomfortable and they are uncomfortable so it will be uncomfortable. But someone's relationship with God is worth some discomfortable isn't it. Just be respectful and loving and it will be good.

3) R-E-S-P-E-C-T - we need to again peoples respect if we want to speak into their lives. It might be a long-term process. I shared how I help someone move in recently at 10 pm at night. I was already gaining respect (then they moved out 5 days later and I will probably never see them again).

4) Listen. Ask Questions. Understand Their Story. Most people aren't just gonna come out and say that their marriage stinks or that they really want to talk to someone about God. So listen and you might need to ask questions and read between some lines to see their story.

5) God's Story. Your story. Once you know their story. Share how God has effected your life, your story. Be prepared to share God's story of love for us (Romans 6:23)

6). One Thing. When you go to meet and take with someone - if it is your kids, your spouse, someone in your group or your neighbor - have one main thing you want to chat about. If you have one goal, you can prepare to share about it or ask the right questions or keep the conversation focused.

At the end we were challenged to have a spiritual conversation in the next week with someone. Then we ate more donuts and cider.
