The document presents a series of conversation questions designed to encourage thoughtful dialogue about living a good life, inspired by teachings attributed to Jesus. It suggests fostering discussions without judgment or preconceived notions, focusing instead on genuine listening and exploration of wisdom. The questions aim to engage individuals in considering personal happiness, the blessings from spiritual teachings, and extending grace to others.

2. The CQ = “Conversation Questions” you can use
for your thoughtful inner dialogue, with a friend or
a cadre of people (if you happen upon a cadre.)
Try popping one of the questions at the dinner table,
while waiting for the movie to start, on the trip to
grandmother’s house, in line at the Department of
Motor Vehicles (that’s going to be a while)…

3. Caution to the wind…
We are warned to not talk about religion & politics.
Why not call this talking about living a good life?
Each of The CQ have a text from a wise guy who is
considered by millions of people for 2000 years as
history’s greatest teacher and most influential
human. His words prompt each trio of questions.
Hopefully these questions will engage a worthwhile
chat with someone you respect enough to ask. In The
CQ you won’t find preaching, judging, right or wrong
answers. Just ?’s.

4. A few suggestions…
~ Listen, really listen. We derail discussions about things
we care about because we care more about what we care about
than what others care about. Choose carefully to be careless
about the right things.
~ Ditch being the referee, judge, counselor or den mother.
Engage a conversation instead of engaging a battle.
~ Seek a path of wisdom. It is said wisdom is proven by her
fruit. See what the tree bears before you break out the axe.
~ Don’t fear the unknown. Invite others on the journey.

5. A Thoughtful Prompter…
“Blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the
Kingdom of Heaven."
Matthew 5:3

6. The CQ
CQ1. What is my Happy Path - the "life, liberty and
pursuit of happiness" road I choose to travel?
CQ2. How do I experience the blessings in the
Beatitudes (the Master's school of a life well lived)?
CQ3. What seemingly un-blessable person or group
can I go to and say, "Blessed are you for complete
access to the reign of God's love is yours"?

7. The CQ percolate from Simply Follow Jesus.
Obviously by the “Caution to the wind”, the
Prompter and the line of questions, we think what
Jesus considers the good life is a good life. We trust
you feel welcomed on the journey with us. We need
your help with the answers.
