I've been to classes and seminars about soulwinning which sounded a lot like the marketing and sales classes I took in college. Ask probing questions which lead to the conclusion you want the person to arrive at. It seems so logical and easy until you try it on a real person, and they ask you a question you aren't prepared for. You want to say, "Hey, that's not on the script!"
Others make it seem as though unless you have a graduate degree in apologetics you can't possibly lead someone to Christ, so many never try because they can't recite the conclusions of the Council of Nicea.
But then you find the person who consistently leads people to Christ. And it seems so easy, so natural, so spontaneous. You ask them how they do it, and they don't really know. They just talk to people, the topic somehow gets to spiritual matters, and the person accepts Christ. It's really quite unremarkable. If you listen carefully, you will find keys, not instructions in that narrative. I have visited a coffee house on the south side of town that professes to be a coffee house run by Christians rather than being a Christian coffee house.
I'll continue tomorrow.
