11/11/10…What was one of the best pieces of advice I ever received regarding meeting someone new? Instead of asking in small talk what church they go to, ask them, how is your soul?
Why? The word church is a loaded word with much potential baggage. Who knows what experiences have shaped what someone hears in the word church. With the word soul, there exists no baggage. A person’s soul is their most intimate part of them, something to be treasured, guarded and so fragile. To ask someone how their soul is opens potential relationship in a way the word church may not be able to.
So I wonder…how is your soul?
