What makes for a great conversation? We’ve all experienced them – conversations with other Christians that leave us feeling encouraged, challenged, inspired and uplifted. Yet so many of us feel like our own lives are too “ordinary” to be worth talking about. How can we be better at talking about the work of God in our own lives, and hearing from others how he is at work in theirs?
For nine seasons, Jenny Salt practiced the art of conversation on her podcast Salt: Conversations with Jenny. Each episode featured a conversation with an “ordinary” Christian, sharing their experience of serving an extraordinary God. Along the way she learnt a lot about how to ask good questions, what it means to listen well, how to draw out the threads of the gospel from people’s lives, and how we can all have better conversations – conversations that encourage, challenge and grow each other in our love and service of Jesus. At this month’s Greenhouse Gathering, she will share with us some of the conversations she most treasures, and the things she picked up along the way about learning from each other.
You’ll also have a chance to connect with other Christian women, enjoy some delicious food, and hear more about what The Greenhouse has to offer to women in different industries, workplaces, churches and stages of life. We’d love to have you join us!
Can’t make it in person? Join us online! We’d love you to share in the experience.
About our Speaker
After 25 years of working at Sydney Missionary and Bible College, Jenny now works for the Diocese of Sydney, assisting the Archdeacon of Women's ministry in serving women who minister in the Diocese. Jenny has also hosted nine seasons of the podcast Salt: Conversations with Jenny, where she interviewed a range of guests to delve deeply into the lives of ‘ordinary’ people with heart-warming, sometimes challenging and always distinctive gospel stories. Jenny’s ministry also includes teaching and preaching from God’s Word at women’s conferences throughout Sydney and Australia. Her love for expository Bible teaching extends to training other women, in the form of preaching workshops within the diocese, something she hopes to develop more.
