Video Discussion Starter for Church Greeters

Videos can make for great discussion starters at your gatherings for hospitality workers or church greeters.

Use as a discussion starter for your next church greeter training or hospitality training meeting.

I enjoyed the humor and the painfully true characterizations.

Potential discussion questions / points :

  • What are some better ideas at small talk?
  • Share experiences of greeter small talk that was awesome or awful.
  • How to make small talk without being nosy.
  • What about the next week?

You could potentially use this video in a church greeter training meeting.

Six Evangelism Styles – A Video Summary

Lee Strobel shares a quick video synopsis of the 6 styles of personal evangelism.

The material came from Becoming a Contagious Christian, Bill Hybels and Mark Mittleberg.

In the book, Becoming a Contagious Christian, Bill Hybels and Mark Mittelberg point out that there are a variety of different evangelism styles.

  • Confrontational: Peter, Acts 2.
  • Intellectual / Philosophical: Paul, Acts 17.
  • Testimonial: Blind Man, John 9
  • Invitational: Woman at the Well, John 4
  • Serving: Dorcas (Tabitha), Acts 9: 36ff
  • Signs and Wonders: First Corinthians 2:1-5.

To this list, I would add “Chance Conversations,” based on Phillip and the Ethiopian Eunuch

The greatest contribution this book makes is the recognition of various evangelism styles.

This list has become a fountainhead for a lot of other teaching.

For example, it is the foundation for Jeffrey Johnson’s work, “Got Style?”, which helps your church decide the best evangelism course based on it’s personality.

Video Discussion Starter:Imperfect

God looks at the inside not the outside.  If you were to use this video as a conversation starter, what additional questions might you use?

Check out this video discussion starter and then I’ll share some possible ways to use this video:

(Feed Readers: You may need to click through to see the video)

How I could use this video

  • Show it at a youth group meeting.
  • Show it at a youth leaders training meeting.
  • Use it as a spring board to discuss “Game Face vs. the True You.”

One of my favorite youth retreat times when I was in high school was a Saturday night conversation in the dark.  We called it “Late Night Rap.”

The only light was fireplace or candles.  The youth were allowed only at late night rap, or in their own bed.  No wandering around.

The conversation had two rules:

  • What is said here, stays here.
  • You can take it as deep as you want, or keep it as shallow as you want.

We’d sit in the dark, laying on the floor, staring at the ceiling or gazing at the fire in the fireplace.  The setting contributed to the sacredness of the moment.

We had deep discussions.  Profound and life changing discussions.  Sometimes the conversations never went deep, but other times, kids brought forth their pain and received comfort from their peers, and biblical advice from youth leaders and friends.

When I was a youth pastor, I carried forth this event during our retreats two times year.   A video like this would make a great launching point for a very deep conversation among senior high teens.

What kind of discussion points?

  • Where do you struggle with acceptance?
  • How do you strive to keep up appearances?
  • What imperfections do you wish you could hide or change?
  • If you could be or do differently, what would that look like?
  • If there was one imperfection you wish God would wipe away, what would it be?

As a leader, it’d be your job to keep the conversational boundaries and to bring biblical truth to light in the midst of the conversation.  This video would set up that invitation.

What other discussion points would you add?

If you were to use this video as a discussion starter, what additional questions might you use?

I invite you to add your question in the comments.  Don’t be afraid to be first.

Greeter Training Webinar #2 DVD Version

No church wants to give a bad experience to their first time visitor or returning guest.

When visitors have a bad experience with your church, often your error is something unintentional.

What does it take to be a great church greeter?

Church Greeters play an important role in your hospitality ministry, but some need some training.

In January 2013, I recorded a new online class for Greeter Training, now available for sale in the store.
