Soularium consists of a deck of picture cards that is designed to generate conversation.
We introduce it as a survey. The questions are listed below.
- "What three images describe your life right now?"
- "What two images describe your life in five years?"
- "What one image describes God to you?"
- We then transition to written survey by saying, "The fourth question is a written question." We then give them the table survey and let them fill it out on their own. Based on what they indicate, we follow up by inviting them to disciple making by showing them how to do a Discovery Bible Study (DBS). Ideally that is done on the spot. But if not, soon thereafter.

Use Soularium in different places. Take Solarium with you to a meeting. Place it in a conspicuous place at work or home (desk, kitchen table, coffee table) and wait for people to inquire. When they do, tell them, "It's a fun four question survey. Do you want to take it?" If they ask what it's about, say, "You." Most will take part.
Use Soulairum to establish a relationship. Let it generate dialogue and create rapport. Don't allow conversations about controversial topics (politics, morality) to spark debate. Be a listener and a learner; have fun, and enjoy the process of getting to know someone. (Colossians 4:6)
Use Soularium to connect. Shared experiences are helpful to share, but in measured amounts. Don't dominate the conversation with stories about yourself. Remember, this is about the other person. The goal is to engage them in conversation, inform them about the life Jesus offers, and invite them to know more.
