Episode notes
Growth Is God’s Work
- You can't fully control how spiritual growth happens; God makes the seed grow despite human limits.
- That mystery should motivate faithful cultivation, not passive inaction.
Ask Curious Questions First
- Do ask curious, caring questions to build trust rather than lead with arguments.
- Questions demonstrate love and open environments where faith can grow.
Use Clarifying Questions
- Try using clarifying questions like 'What do you mean by that?' to avoid assumptions and listen better.
- Use a gentle tone to invite deeper sharing rather than putting someone on the defensive.
