Let’s dish the dirt.

Engaging with people can be awkward but it doesn’t have to be.  Reaching others isn’t rocket science or brain surgery.  It basically boils down to having a heart for others and being authentic.   Below are some simple and effective steps in helping us do that.

Start by preparing yourself.

Boldly ask God to begin moving in your heart and others

Offer to buy.

Grab a coffee, lunch, whatever. Just be sure to generously pay for it.

Inquire about their life.
Don’t do all the talking. Just ask comfortable and sincere questions.
Laugh a lot.
Leave any agenda behind and enjoy the company of a potential new friend.
