About this listen
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.
