Learning from interviewing people:

Interviewing: consider, even in prayer, the other person’s life and story as more important that yourself, and as a parable. Try to listen into the parable, and notice when the real story is being told! Follow the anointing, “where does the cloud settle down”. Where do you start to feel God on what they saying…expand that.

What parts of this person’s story matter forever, and to those now-ampify these so others can see them; spotlight them until anyone can tell this matters.

 Then ask yourself and God: what are the three questions I would ask them, that would reveal the whole parable or teaching of their life’s story-their true testimony! If love is there, there should be no manipulation! Make a truly safe space! Period.

 Then hold the answers in love in your heart, until their harvested fully in interpretation. And let them know how much it meant to you that they shared their story—end in kindness. And share as they wish…and try to use a medium which honors their identity!

Do this with cities and people.
