Many people are not antagonistic toward Christianity, but they aren't deeply curious about it either.

They're just doing life, moving along.

They might have some awareness of Jesus and some Christian friends. But it's just not their driving concern at the moment.

So the question is, how can we come alongside people and help gently provoke curiosity?

We don't need to be anxious about it.

We're just gently nudging people in the direction of Jesus.
