Everyone is on a spiritual journey.
Acknowledging this journey can create chances for spiritual conversations that are natural and conversational. By asking life questions on social media and genuinely listening you can come alongside another person on their journey and explore where they’ve been, where they are now and where they’re headed.
Before posting to social media, think about your goals, who you’ll be reaching, and pause to ask God for wisdom in how to best communicate. Social media can be a platform where people react quickly and may respond with heightened emotions. Start by praying that the words in James 1:19-20 would be true of you, “Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters: You must all be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry.

By posting the graphic and answering it yourself, you can start a natural spiritual conversation with those who respond.
During COVID-19 it might seem easy to sit at home and fear all the unknowns. But what if you took time to reflect Jesus to others? Join the movement of #ReflectJesusWithMe.
Odds are you’ve heard this phrase, especially if you’re a Christian. Here’s what it means and where it came from!
