Conversation Hooks
Conversation Hooks
Conversation hooks help start natural, meaningful discussions about life, purpose, and faith.
They should feel simple, real, and conversational—not forced.
Hook:
“Can I ask you something—what do you think happens after we die?”
Sample:
You: “Hey, random question—what do you think happens after we die?”
Friend: “Hmm… maybe nothing?”
You: “Yeah, a lot of people think that. I’ve been reading what the Bible says, and it talks about eternal life through Jesus. Want to hear more?”
Hook:
“Why do you think some people stay calm even when things are stressful?”
Sample:
You: “Everyone’s stressed lately, but some people seem calm. Ever notice that?”
Friend: “Yeah, I guess they handle stress better.”
You: “Maybe—but I’ve seen that real peace comes from trusting God, not just managing stress. Want me to share?”
Hook:
“If you could guarantee one thing—success, happiness, or purpose—what would you choose?”
Sample:
You: “Quick question—success, happiness, or purpose?”
Friend: “Probably happiness.”
You: “Same. But I realized happiness doesn’t last. When I started living for God’s purpose, things made more sense. Have you thought about that?”
Hook:
“I heard about someone whose life totally changed after trusting God—have you experienced that?”
Sample:
You: “I heard about a student who found direction after trusting God. Ever experienced something like that?”
Friend: “Not really.”
You: “Yeah, it changed how they see everything. I can share more if you want.”
Hook:
“What do you think actually matters in life?”
Sample:
You: “A lot of people chase grades or status, but it doesn’t last. What do you think really matters?”
Friend: “Maybe relationships?”
You: “That’s true. I’ve also realized God gives a bigger perspective—one that lasts forever. Want to talk about that?”
Hook:
“Do you ever feel like college is just passing by?”
Sample:
You: “Do you ever feel like everything’s just moving fast but you’re not sure what matters?”
Friend: “Yeah, sometimes.”
You: “Same. That changed for me when I started seeing life from God’s perspective.”
Hook:
“Why do you think some people have peace even during exams?”
Sample:
You: “Exams are stressful, but some people stay calm. Ever wonder why?”
Friend: “Maybe they’re just chill.”
You: “Maybe—but I think it’s deeper. Trusting God gives a kind of peace that doesn’t depend on grades.”
Hook:
“What are we really studying for?”
Sample:
You: “We’re all studying hard—but what do you think it’s all for?”
Friend: “Future job, I guess.”
You: “Yeah, but I’ve been thinking—what if it’s also for something bigger?”
Hook:
“I used to feel lost until something changed my perspective.”
Sample:
You: “I used to feel really stressed about everything. Then something changed how I see life.”
Friend: “What happened?”
You: “I started seeking God’s direction—it gave me clarity and purpose.”
Hook:
“Have you ever thought your passion could impact more than just campus?”
Sample:
You: “You’re really committed to this club. Ever thought your passion could impact people beyond here?”
Friend: “Not really.”
You: “I didn’t either—until I started aligning it with God’s purpose.”
Hook:
“If you could make one decision that lasts forever, what would it be?”
Sample:
You: “Random question—what’s one decision that could really matter forever?”
Friend: “That’s deep.”
You: “I know, right? It made me rethink how I make choices.”
Hook:
“Have you ever thought your talent could impact others?”
Sample:
You: “You’re really good at this. Ever thought about using it to impact others?”
Friend: “Not really.”
You: “When I gave my passions to God, it gave them a bigger purpose.”
Keep it natural.
Ask, listen, and build from real conversations.
The goal is not a perfect script, it’s a genuine connection that opens the door to truth.
