#37 - Don’t Be Rude! How to Engage in Gospel Conversations with Grace

Show Notes:

In this episode of Gospel Talks, we explore how poor communication habits can close doors to meaningful gospel conversations. Chapter 4 of Giving the Exchange focuses on key communication skills that help us show people the love of God.

We’ll discuss:

✅ The importance of showing genuine interest and concern

Two key skills: Asking good questions and listening well

✅ Why going too deep too quickly can push people away

✅ The dangers of fixating on sin, interrupting, hijacking, or dominating conversations

✅ The simple yet powerful WAIT principle (Why Am I Talking?) to help us listen more and talk less

Sharing the gospel isn’t about overpowering people with truth—it’s about engaging them with love, patience, and understanding. Let’s learn to have conversations that make our friends thirsty for Jesus instead of tuning us out.
