I try to give them the reason for my Hope. I try to do this with gentleness and humility. It is nice of them to attempt to lead me in what they think is the correct path. Conversation with them may, or may not result in a change in their perception. By listening I am better able to understand the other person and why they believe what they believe. In this understanding I may be better able to give clarity to my own belief and improve my articulation of it. However I do not expect to see any immediate “conversion”. My job is only to deliver the message.
