One of the biggest obstacles people frequently encounter when they begin to witness in-depth is the fear Mormons have that, if they agree to talk about Jesus, you will constantly bring him up. This especially is the case when you see each other regularly. They worry that every time you have the chance, you will pounce on them with religious talk.

If they don’t express this fear, take the initiative and bring it up. Reassure them you don’t want to make every conversation a heavy spiritual one. Suggest agreeing on a specific time to talk on spiritual topics and then only talk about them during those set times. For example, if you see each other every day, you could set aside an hour a week. If your contact is more limited, you could set aside an hour once a month. Limiting discussions to set times have frequently put everybody at ease resulting in more productive conversations.
