Keep this guide handy for a quick review before an important conversation. Remember to pray before, during and after talking with the person!

Build Quality Conversations

  • Dig for the quality:

    • Tell me more about…

    • What do you mean by…

    • Sounds like you’re saying that…

  • Ask open ended questions

    • What is that like for you?

    • How did that make you feel?

    • What leads you to say that?

    • How are you feeling God’s peace?

  • Encourage sharing / defuse frustrations

    • I’d like to hear what you think

    • What would you like to see differently?

  • When I pray for you:

    • How can I pray for you?

    • What would you like me to pray for?

  • Ask questions about sermon series, 5x5,

    • What has impacted you the most these last few weeks at our church?

    • What’s the most interesting thing you’ve learned about [sermon series / 5x5 book] lately?

  • Don’t be afraid of silence
