Sideways how?

In a business setting or personal setting. In business, many times this is the role of the senior person involved to say, “I think we are getting a little off topic, maybe we can set this aside and focus back to x”.

Be settle and say “interesting views, what are your thoughts on this”…

How do y'all interact with your students when it comes to faith and your religion? Do your students know that you're a religious person?
I'm a youth leader at one of our local churches and I often talk to students who attend church about the services we have or suggest they should bring people.
Additionally, I have also started posting short videos on my instagram where I give a little encouraging message usually accompanied by a bible verse. Just a little something to show Jesus to students.
