Ask

Ask people what they think about God. Ask your family, your friends, your colleagues, the friendly stranger on the bus, anyone who you think will be okay about it.. Ask them, “What do you reckon about God?” Listen carefully and respectfully to their answers. Ask them how they arrived at the beliefs they hold.

Don’t tell them what you think about God – unless they ask you. This is mainly a listening exercise. Thank them for opening up to you.

Think about what they tell you. What parts make sense for you? What parts don’t you agree with? Why? Talk it over with God and listen to what God might have to say about peoples comments.
