Faith & community practice scenarios
These nine practice conversations are for people who speak in front of others about faith and community. You might be preaching to a congregation, leading a youth group, comforting a grieving friend, or pitching a new ministry to a church board. Other scenarios include talking with a skeptical neighbor, a friend who left the church, a hospital patient, a local business owner, or a city council. In every practice, you talk out loud or type with an AI character who pushes back. Afterward you get feedback on how your words landed. To pick a scenario, choose the conversation you have coming up or the one that makes you nervous. Start there.
