One of the most effective methods for sharing the gospel is through personal conversations. But in our modern world, many of us struggle with ‘personal’ and ‘conversation’ for a variety of reasons. Today on PEP Talk we discuss the issues and struggles we have with conversation, personal connection and empathy in an age of digital distraction and polarised public discourse.
For further reading, books mentioned in this episode include Disruptive Witness by Alan Noble and Reclaiming Conversation by Sherry Turkle.
