The method does not wait for opportunities to come about but creates them
Basic it is you raising a spiritual topic and then see if the person is interested in talking about it
Not forcing a person but opening wide a door for a person to walk through

Example - If you would ever like to know the difference believe religion and Christianity and religion. Just let me know. I would be happy to talk about it with you
It is a modern day way Jesus approached a woman in John 4.
Not pressuring or forcing it on them but merely checking to see if they are interested

Other way to approach people using the direct method of creating spiritual conversations:

• "How is it going?" then ask how is it going
• "I'm curious, do you ever think about spiritual matters?"
• "Who, in your opinion, is Jesus Christ?"
• "What is your spiritual background?"
• "Do you ever wonder what happens to us when we die?"
• "What do you think a real Christian is?"
• "Where are you heading in your spiritual journey?"

Key Phrase: The direct method is not pressuring people but merely checking to see if they are interested
