Creating a "God Space" for spiritual conversations

Here’s something I just read. Any suggested answers to his “million-dollar question”? (If so, leave a comment.)

[After telling a story about having a spiritual conversation on a plane] “Every Christian speaker and leader I know seems to have an airplane story. I think it’s because on an airplane, your spirituality has no bearing on where you sit or whom you sit next to. God uses this to bring Christians and non-Christians together as fellow sojourners heading in the same direction. Common ground, close proximity, no cell phones, and the belief that you will never again see the people you are sitting next to create greater possibilities for the natural and the supernatural to collide in meaningful ways.

“Here’s the million-dollar question: How do we natural create room for spiritual conversations like that in our everyday lives? Surely God doesn’t intend for us to wait until our next ride on an airplane.”

Doug Pollock, God Space, Rev! magazine, Sept/Oct 2009, p 50

I recommend the whole article, though I'll tell you beforehand, there is no easy answer given.
