Talking Points:
- Having a framework will help you to keep conversation topics and questions straight. Each topic or question will fall into a different category. Using our image of a full circle Christian as an example, every question or problem will fall into one of these three steps of a pursuit of God.
- You can’t have a broad understanding of something if you don’t understand the basic components of that topic. Master the basics.
