About this listen

📝 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—but to bring revelation. Questions like:

  • "Why are you so afraid?"

  • "Do you want to get well?"

  • "Who do you say that I am?"

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' most powerful habits.

🔑 Key Scripture

"The purposes of a person's heart are deep waters, but the one who has insight draws them out."

🚀 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's heart.

Examples:

  • What's 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's what 10X Christians do—they don't just talk about Jesus, they ask like Jesus.
