  • Questions Are the Answer

Questions Are the Answer

 

Learning to ask great questions when discipling others is a wonderful journey.

Jesus asked his disciples no less than 117 recorded questions in his three years on earth.  Ever wonder why?
He was teaching them how to become fishers of men.
By asking questions instead of giving answers, like Jesus, we can help teach other disciples the critical thinking skills to discover their deeper purpose for Christ.

Here is a brief list of questions you can use during your next discipling-time.

My Big-3:

These are three great questions for kickoff off a new discipling relationship with someone…or even if you want to get an idea of where they are at in general.

  • #1 – What is one thing you are regularly doing that doesn’t support what you know about Jesus?
  • #2 – How would your life be transformed if you changed this behavior right now?
  • #3 – What can be your first step, a small step, that is meaningful and achievable?

Stop-Start-Continue

These are great questions to use when preparing for a new week, like during a Monday morning discipling time (or even Sunday afternoon to prepare for the following week.)  

  • What didn’t work well for you last week that you want to stop doing this week?
  • What didn’t you do last week that you want to start doing this week?
  • What worked well for you last week that you want to continue doing this week?

General Questions to Help Achieve a Mind Shift

Determining the right times to ask the following questions takes practice and skill.  It can be learned, however, and when you do, the excitement you help create in others is amazing.  Keep these questions handy during your discipling-times and practice them whenever possible.  

  • If you knew you couldn’t fail, what would you attempt to do this week/month/year?
  • What’s been getting in your way?
  • What’s the benefit of this problem?
  • What’s stopping you?
  • How can you find out?
  • What does this mean to you?
  • How would you like it to be?
  • What rules have you created that are blocking you right now?
  • If you change your belief about this, what would be possible?
  • What will you have to give up in order to make room for this new goal?
  • How can you address this situation so that it never comes back?
  • Which step could you take that would make the biggest difference right now?
  • What are you willing to do to improve this situation?
  • How can you enjoy the process of resolving this situation?
  • What will your impact be 10 years from now?
  • How will you transform your life with this new knowledge?
  • How can get better results next time?
  • What could you be happy about if you chose to be?
  • What’s great about your life right now?
  • If this weakness were also a strength, what would that strength be?
