Sharing Him

I realized today, again by my mistakes and some swapped texts with Tacy that:

When you share Jesus, usually you ask more questions than you talk, and you listen more than both.

(maybe you talk more, but we have a tendency to get nervous and try to get it all out and vomit over them, so keeping in mind to ask more questions will keep it a conversation rather than a preaching.)

"If you look at how many times Jesus asked questions... especially to his disciples (since we're suppose to make disciples and not converts). Questions though make people think rather than aimlessly listen." - Tacy. You can also find where the heart is and how to help it get to that next step closer to God rather than aimlessly scattering seed and hoping something you said sticks with them. "You can't meet them where they are until you know exactly where that is..." Good summation Tacy. Which is very true. Start the conversation, ask questions, listen, find where they are, then journey along side them in a conversational manner rather than vomiting your religion on them.
