So, a few weeks ago at 180 Worship we had Question Night, where the youth wrote down their questions about God, Faith, Morals, Life, or whatever and the leaders did their best to answer them. On this blog, I’m going to take some time to give a more detailed answer to these questions, so here it goes.
Question: How can I bring God into everyday school conversations?
The simple answer is that when God is the focus of your life, you’ll show your faith in your life. People know what you’re passionate about. If you’re passionate about playing a sport or playing an instrument, or getting good grades, people recognize that about you and it comes up in everyday conversations. The same is true about God. If you’re passionate about God, it shows in your life and comes up in conversation.
Sometimes it’s important to be more deliberate about bringing God into your conversations. I think it’s easiest to talk about ministry that you are directly involved in. Right now, one of our youth is planning a Shoe Drive to collect shoes that will be given to children and adults living in poverty around the world. That’s an awesome way to show our faith in action. Imagine the conversation that starts with “hey, what did you do this weekend?” and your answer is “I helped collect 2,000 pairs of shoes to ship to poor children in a third-world country.” I think God would come up in that conversation.
