Summary

Research finds that Christians are less involved in spiritual conversations today than we were twenty-five years ago. As society has changed, it seems we have become more uncomfortable talking with people about our faith. We are reluctant conversationalists. The reality is that many of our churches and communities are shrinking instead of growing. What can we do about this? Our guest grew up assuming that spiritual conversations are always painful and awkward. But after falling into one spiritual conversation after another, he was surprised to discover that they aren't. Join us to discover that spiritual conversations can actually be a delight. Unpacking what God's Word says about spiritual conversations and digging into the habits of eager conversationalists, he will describe what we can learn from Christians who are still talking about their faith.

0:29.9	difficult times, and we all will.
0:32.2	Well, now he has a companion book to that called the Jordan River Rules.
0:36.8	And what I love about this book is it really and truly is based on the
0:40.0	parting of the Jordan River.
0:41.5	And what it does is it provides guidance for those moving toward
