One of the biggest mistakes we make when talking with others about faith, whether in evangelism or preaching and teaching Scripture, is that we assume we’re all talking about the same thing when we say “God.”
I’ve had some conversations lately with people wanting to start coaching or consulting businesses, and they’ve asked me, “What should I do first? How did Gravity Leadership get started?”
I’ve had to admit to these people that I’m not sure what a good first step would be because our work in coaching and consulting happened somewhat “accidentally.”
One of the skills we train people to practice in our coaching is compassionate curiosity about ourselves, God, and others in discipleship.
Cultivating a genuine curiosity at the core of our being is vital if we want to grow and mature as followers of Jesus. Without curiosity, we become rigid ideologues seeking data to confirm our existing biases. Without curiosity, we cannot grow as disciples of Jesus.
