40 Everyday Questions

These cards have 40 questions to help prompt

conversations about life, faith and the world.
You can either pick them randomly or choose
a particular card from one of the three
themes: LIFE, FAITH and THE WORLD.
Why not seek out answers from different
perspectives and generations.
Making connections
Many of these questions are not explicitly about
faith, however you can connect your answers to
what you believe or what response God or the
Bible might offer.
The questions can be asked in a variety of settings:
• At church • In youth/children’s
• At school groups
• In homes • Amongst friends
Some ideas to get you started
These cards are conversation starters, there are no
‘right’ answers. Here are two suggestions:
1. Shuffle the pack, pick a card at random and
discuss.
2. Set a timer, pick a card and take 30 seconds in
turn to talk about the question. The challenge
for those listening is not to interrupt!
Everyday Questions for groups
