9/29/13 Regis and Jen 30ish
Here’s
a short clip of the beginning of a gospel conversation with a young couple that
went on for another forty minutes. It’s
interesting to see their reaction because, although they have been dating for a
year and a half, they had no idea about each other’s spiritual beliefs. In my conversations with couples, groups of friends,
or groups of co-workers who have known each other for years I have found this
to be very common. How could this be? I suspect that, in the beginning of a
relationship people don’t want to talk about controversial subjects like
religion, so they avoid the topic. Then,
as they become more invested in the relationship and have more to lose, it
becomes even more intimidating and difficult to start the conversation. So I often feel privileged to help people
talk to each other about a topic that is so important and central to their understanding
of one another, yet often so difficult
to “break the ice”. Here’s Regis, who is
from Belgium, and Jen, as they discover something new about each other… Regis and Jen
