The Power of Asking Good Questions

Asking good questions is essential in engaging with others and understanding their perspectives and experiences. By listening and asking thoughtful questions, we can create space for genuine conversations and learn more about the people we are interacting with. This approach allows us to better serve others and tailor our message to meet their specific needs and concerns, rather than coming with a preset agenda. It also helps us avoid making assumptions and enables us to offer the gospel in a way that resonates with individuals on a personal level.

In our communication of the gospel message, many of us overemphasize the fall, leading the conversation by starting with our sin. We inherited sin, but we were not created to be sinful. It is wiser for us to begin the gospel conversation by communicating the nature of God – “God is good.” Join Jackie and Preston for Part 1 of a conversation on engaging those around us with the gospel, and being anchored in love as we do so.
