Navigating Christmas Conversations with Ease
The holiday season is upon us, and with it comes a flurry of social gatherings, parties, and family events. While these occasions can be joyful, they can also be daunting, especially when it comes to making conversation with people we don’t know well or with whom we have little in common. As Christians, we want to seize the opportunities provided by Christmas to share our faith, but often struggle to find the right words.
Breaking the Ice
To help you navigate these situations with confidence, we’ve put together a list of questions designed to spark meaningful conversations. Whether you’re chatting with a stranger or a family member, these questions will help you build connections and take the dialogue to a deeper level.
From Small Talk to Substance
Use these questions to move beyond small talk and explore topics that really matter.
