In this episode of Jesus Centric Life, Pastor Josh and Donna welcome Harold Benecke to dive into Dr. Heather Holleman’s book The Six Conversations. Together they explore the six pathways—social, emotional, physical, cognitive, volitional, and spiritual—and how these simple yet profound questions can open the door to deeper connection in a world filled with isolation. Harold reflects on how the book has impacted his own relationships and how practicing these conversations can transform the way we connect with family, friends, and our church community.

Talking about faith is never one size fits all. In Part Two of our series on Conversational Faith, we will dig into the five hurdles that often keep people from following Jesus: apathy, intellect, emotion, church hurt, and different religions. Each of these barriers is real, personal, and often painful—but they’re not impossible to navigate. Through practical insights, real-life examples, and Jesus-centered wisdom, we explore how to meet people where they are and walk with them through their questions and struggles.

Sharing your faith doesn’t have to feel forced, pressured, or awkward. Instead of rehearsed speeches or fear-driven witnessing, conversational faith is about authentic, everyday conversations that point people to Jesus. Together, we explore the difference between “witnessing” and real conversations, the role of listening, and how Jesus modeled a relational approach to faith. If you’ve ever wondered how to naturally talk about your faith with friends, family, or coworkers, this episode will give you freedom and encouragement.
