I need your help! From time to time I\u2019m in a situation where I\u2019m talking to a Muslim I\u2019ve just met. The conversation will likely only be able to last a few minutes with no promise at the outset of a future connection. As we start to chat, I\u2019d like to know if they have any spiritual interest. If they care about the things of God. If they might like to talk about Jesus or hear a story he told. Sometimes it\u2019s hard for me to move from, \u201cHow many kids do you have?\u201d to \u201cHey, let\u2019s talk about real stuff for a minute.\u201d<\/p>\n
On the slight chance I\u2019m not the only one, could you do me a favor? Share, below, your best tips on how to do this. Or to post a link to the article I probably should have found on my own. Or maybe, if you\u2019re feeling tremendously empathetic this Christmas season, just say, \u201cNo way, me too! I hope a lot of people are nice enough to tell us how to do this.\u201d<\/p>\n
Thanks!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
