My friend Matt had just moved to Cincinnati and I learned he really cared about baseball. He loves following major league teams and loves to play softball. We were exploring his neighborhood and saw a group getting ready to play baseball and went over to find out what was going on. We learned it was a semi pro team of college age players that play together during summer months.  Everyone there was all too willing to talk to us about the team and their gift of baseball.

That is a lesson I have learned over the past several years: people love to talk about their gifts.

Try it out.

Go someplace and start a conversation with someone and see if you can uncover what gifts the person has. I am guessing it will be a very easy and very interesting conversation. This is an easy way to start to get connected.

What are some questions you would ask to get this kind of conversation going?
