“Be an expert at unfamiliar conversations” – Ps James Murray
This months pro tip is about our conversations.
It’s not the amazing media, great games, or pumping music (not bad stuff btw) that makes people belong, its relationships.
The cool stuff might make us feel good, but a visitor wants to know if there’s anyone around who cares about them. And that’s where we come in. Here’s a couple of my thoughts on how we can become experts at unfamiliar convos this week…
You: “Do you play any sport?”
Them: “No.”
You: “Do you like movies?”
Them: “No”
You: “Do you have any interests at all?”
Them: …starts texting someone
Sure its awkward, but how great does it feel to be included? And how much more did Jesus give so that YOU would be included? Persevere through the awkwardness, you never know what effect your convo may have on the precious young lives you interact with every week.
Go for it this week! Meet someone new, ask some questions, turn an outsider into an insider. Bless you, you legendary leader!
