Do you allow people to question you? Even if what you are stating is the correct answer?
E.g. 2 x2 = 4 Disagree? Of course not, however is it wrong to question the fact? Is it wrong to have dialog about the fact?
There is an ancient Scripture that states "Come, let us reason together."
Enter - questions on faith or brand
Do you allow people to question your belief system?
From a marketing stand point, do you allow people to question your brand?
Most of us are self proclaimed apologists. We will defend what we believe with a closed mind.
If our belief system can be stretched or our brand made more "stickable", then we must allow everyone from teacher, peer and student to have dialog with us. Allow them to ask "Why?"
Life is not monologue.... its Dialog.
Cmon, lets reason this out........ Lets let them ask ANYTHING THEY WANT.
Agree? Disagree?.............

Just listen!
Conversation. Its a lost art. Especially with a lot of "Christians". Have you ever noticed in the Gospels that Jesus listened to people , (NOT THE PHARISEE'S), but to the ones that would reach His heart?
I get really tired of egotistic Christians, preachers, pastors that don't hear the cry of people who are so quick to judge people who have questions. they don't listen, they just talk (or in their words, "preach") about how lost they are.
Can i say something? Why cant we just listen? Why cant we just allow people who are trying to find truth (which is Jesus) find Him? EVERYONE OF US ARE ON A JOURNEY, EVERYONE.
Just listen, its that simple. They don't want our quick cliche' christian words that we are so quick to regurgitate out of our narrow minds. they just want someone to listen, really listen.
Jesus is in the people business. He is in the listening business. He is the only one who is perfect. He is the only one who really, truly understands sin and the final cure for it. He is the only one who truly understands grace.
So, to anyone who may read this blog, I have a challenge for us. let's Just listen. Lets listen to the hurting people, the mean people, the weird people, the gay people, the wild people, the hurting people, etc.....
Just listen, we will be amazed what we will hear. Then, Jesus will listen to us as we pray for them and ourselves.
