About BreakBread Prompts
BreakBread prompts are open-ended questions thoughtfully crafted to bring people into relationship and resonance with one another. They are not seeded in external events, people, or politics. They don’t demand that we resolve issues, bridge difference, or solve problems. Instead, they invite us inward to call upon the gifts of our own lived experience and wisdom to explore and wonder about things that resonate on a deeper more intimate level. Things that hold relevance across cultures, persuasions, and generations. Things that make us human – that make life worth living.
Dinner may start with light conversation to help everyone get to know one another and feel comfortable but we soon move beyond small talk as the evening’s prompt helps get everyone thinking, feeling, and connecting! Ultimately BreakBread prompts “prompt” us into conversation that’s not so much about what you do and who you know, but rather, who you are and what you think!
