In the gaming world, the phrase "Are ya winning son?" has become notorious. Nerds are tired of having someone ask about their passions with insincere interest. And I think all of us can relate to this. We all have something that we get excited to talk about - our eyes light up when someone asks about it. But we've also all experienced moments when as soon as we start talking about it, we see everyone around us lose interest. We recede inward, and learn not to share about what gets us excited. But we know both experientially, and neuroscientifically, that those moments when someone doesn't do that - when they engage and have sincere interest in our passions - are moments that form some of the deepest relational connections and attachments. And we know that it is on the foundation of those deep relational connections and attachments that we can most effectively speak truth into the lives of those around us.
