Ep. 261 - The Lost Art of Small Talk - part 1

Send us Fan Mail This week I am exploring the idea of small talk and calling it a lost art. I notice how I am really not very good at it and want to try to be better. Essentially I call it a way to notice people and make connections even for just a moment. I mention how our phones are a contributing factor along with COVID helping us be a bit out of practice. I share a particularly mortifying experience while in line at Home Depot with my kids year ago. I include some info shared by Ellen Hendriksen about the importance of acquaintances, especially to help us feel like we belong in a community. I give an example of my sister in law who is especially good at talking to anyone. Finally I talk of how Christ noticed people and that is what we are essentially doing when we decide to small talk with someone.
