It's always better when we jump to conclusions rather then have others tell us what conclusions we should jump to. If we can present the truth, or reality, of their situation in a series of questions rather then statements, we are then merely providing a solution to their problem rather then trying to sell something we think they need. The challenge is to do this without coming across as too negative or fear based. i.e. "How would your life change if you were debt free and were able to invest the money that you are currently spending to service that debt?" as opposed to " How does it feel to be drowning in debt with no hope of getting out?"

Harris Fri, 25 Jul 2008 13:33:41 +0000 http://www.sellingamongwolves.com/blog/?p=424#comment-27124 My passion has been speaking to youth about abstinence. Yesterday I had agreed to fill in at our pregnancy center, not my choice of talents. I had a young women come in who had said she needed info on abstinence, so I took this client. In the counseling room it turned out this young women was also pregnant with her second child with the boyfriend she did not want to marry. I was holding her precious 4 month old baby girl as I practiced these questioning techiques I learned from "SAS and not joining the pack." I asked her questions about her background faith and what her perfect outcome would be. I pray she does not abort, but the observiing counselor said she felt I did better than many of the other counselors, not forcing faith on her without a relationship with her, but making her think. Please join me in prayer she would not abort this five week pre-born human being, depending on her, yet not her. Pray she will find a way to make the decision that will not violate what she believes in her heart of hearts! Blessings for your posting today. My passion has been speaking to youth about abstinence.
