Ask Better Questions \u2014 The Simple Habit That Made Jesus So Influential","description":" \ud83d\udcdd&amp;nbsp;What made Jesus such a powerful communicator and teacher? One simple habit: He asked great questions. In this episode of the Rob Skinner Podcast, Rob explores how Jesus used questions not just to gather information\u2014but to bring revelation. Questions like:   \u201cWhy are you so afraid?\u201d   \u201cDo you want to get well?\u201d   \u201cWho do you say that I am?\u201d   Each question helped people uncover what was really going on in their hearts. In a world where most people talk about themselves and rarely ask meaningful questions, learning to ask thoughtful questions can transform your relationships, deepen your conversations, and multiply your influence. Drawing from Proverbs 20:5 and real-life experiences, Rob shares practical ways to start asking questions that open hearts and lead to deeper spiritual conversations. If you want to grow as a disciple-maker, leader, or friend, this episode will challenge you to adopt one of Jesus\u2019 most powerful habits.  \ud83d\udd11 Key Scripture Proverbs 20:5  \u201cThe purposes of a person's heart are deep waters, but the one who has insight draws them out.\u201d   \ud83c\udfaf In This Episode   Why Jesus asked so many questions   How questions reveal what\u2019s really in someone\u2019s heart   Why most conversations stay superficial   The power of curiosity in relationships   Practical questions that lead to deeper spiritual conversations   The FORD framework for meaningful dialogue:   Family   Occupation   Recreation   Dreams      \ud83d\ude80 Practical Challenge This week, try asking one meaningful question in every conversation. Instead of staying at the surface, ask something that helps you understand someone\u2019s heart. Examples:   What\u2019s been happening in your life recently?   Where are you on your spiritual journey?   What matters most to you right now?   You might be surprised how quickly walls come down and hearts open up. That\u2019s what 10X Christians do\u2014they don\u2019t just talk about Jesus, they ask like Jesus.  \ud83d\udcec Stay Connected Sign up for Rob\u2019s weekly newsletter for encouragement, practical insights, and new podcast episodes. \ud83d\udc49 https:\/\/RobSkinner.com Subscribers also receive a free chapter from Rob\u2019s book, The 10X Christian.  \ud83d\udcda Resources Mentioned   The 10X Christian \u2014 Rob Skinner   Proverbs 20:5    \u2b50 Support the Podcast If this episode encouraged you:   Share it with a friend   Leave a review   Subscribe so you never miss an episode   Rob\u2019s mission is simple: To inspire you to live a no-regrets life, make this life count, and multiply disciples, leaders, and churches.
