Surprisingly, spiritual conversations best begin with our need, not other people’s need. For instance, Jesus was vulnerable, tired from his journey and thirsty for water. Are you and I willing to be vulnerable? And spiritual conversations only happen when we cross barriers. As a Jewish man, Jesus was not supposed to talk to women. Questions are the lifeblood of conversations, and especially spiritual conversations. Questions place the asker beneath the asked; and good questions invite the hearer to share their experience without judgement or assumption.
