It can be difficult to start a conversation with someone regarding spiritual things. Here are some possibilities I’ve come up with:

  1. What is your worldview?
  2. Do you think there is anything beyond the physical world?
  3. Everyone recognizes that there is something broken about our world. What do you think the problem is?
  4. What is your hope in? What do you draw hope from?
  5. I’m curious. Do you believe in God? If not, why not?
  6. I’m a believer in God. Since you’re not, I would be interested to give you some of the reasons I believe in God and get your take on them.
  7. Have you ever read the Bible? If so, what did were your thoughts on it?
  8. What do you think about the person of Jesus?

Do you have any others that you’ve found helpful?
