How to Start a Spiritual Conversation
Relationally investing in someone in a way that can help them take a next step towards Jesus necessitates we know their faith journey story. Do you know where your REACH ONE is on their spiritual journey? Have you asked them about their story? If not, schedule a time to sit down with them. When you sit down with them, learn their story.
Here is a great question to get started:
Where have you been and where are you currently at on your spiritual journey?
Here are a few more questions you can ask to continue the conversation:
What is stopping you from putting your faith in Jesus?
If they say nothing is stopping them and they are ready to put their faith in Jesus then help them do that right then and there! See our How to pray with someone to put their faith in Jesus tool. If they are not ready for that, continue with a question like:
What would it take…
For you to come with me on Sunday?
For you to open up your heart to the possibility of Jesus?
For you to believe that Jesus is who He claims to be?
For you to put your faith in Jesus?
Note: Do not ask these questions if you haven’t relationally invested in someone first. If you don’t know about them, their kid’s names, their spouses name, where they work, then get to know those things first.
