Level 1 Conversations- The Fundamentals

The level one conversation focuses on the most basic fundamentals questions facing every human being. What are you? What does it mean to be human? How should we live and why? Is there some kind of plan or purpose to existence? These are the conversations and questions if you want to engage with people who don't even have a belief in a higher power because regardless of your worldview we all have to face the fundamental questions if we want to make sense of our existence.
