TechnoratiSo look for opportunities during and after the Super Bowl game to turn the conversation toward spiritual things. You can even use the buzz from the Super Bowl ads as an opening. Here are a few conversational questions to help you get started:
• Which ad did you think was most effective? Which was the lamest?
• What made the most effective ad appealing to you? What did you dislike about the lamest?
• Do you think ads are all about creating an image? Is image important to you, or are you more attracted to authenticity? Listen and then share how being a follower of Jesus has impacted where you are on the image vs. authenticity spectrum.
• Do ads tell you the truth? Or are they manipulative? How do you decide what’s true and what isn’t? Listen and then share what you believe about truth. For help with this, check out the Soul Fuel article The Truth About the Truth.
Remember, you’re not trying to “sell’ your friends on the message of the Gospel. You’re just called to paint a picture of who God is and what He’s done and let them decide how they want to respond.
