Conversations are hard. I'm not talking the "Isn't the weather great?" or the "How was your kid's soccer match?" I'm talking the real conversations - the ones that get down to the dirt. I'm talking about going beyond the "How are you?" to the "Hey, really, though, how are you?" conversations and truly connecting with someone. Or the ones where you are out of your comfort zone having a beautiful, yet hard conversation about someone's journey that you cannot truly understand. Or the ones where you are being a listening ear to a child struggling and doesn't know where to turn. 

Those bold conversations are life altering - maybe not life shattering, but they make a dent in your emotions, beliefs or understanding. God calls us to have the bold conversations and challenge ourselves and others to connect, engage and understand.
