Try to create an open, informal atmosphere. Feelings have a direct impact on the learning process. A lot of people easily become self-conscious or feel uncomfortable when it comes to discussing religious topics. Some feel questioned in their long-established views and threatened in their confidence. Sometimes a bad conscience makes things even more complicated. Affection and the feeling of being accepted, of being loved, help them deal with new things.

One day, Rainer, a biology student, said to his fellow course mates who he spends a considerable amount of time with at university. ".We talk about a lot of questions and problems, we have fun together, we know each other well and you know that I am a Christian.
But I feel you don't really understand what the Christian faith is all about. We know each others' viewpoints and arguments. But we have never explicitly talked about what God says to us through His word in the Bible. If we did do so, I could show you much more clearly why faith is so important to me.
