Talk Therapy: Jesus & Therapy Series - Jesus Asked Great Questions
Episode description
So far we have discussed how Jesus felt and how He often retreated. This week we are looking at how He asked great questions.
I’ve been told much of my life that I ask great questions. As a counselor and podcast host, much of my days are spent asking questions. I’ve been asked before how I come up with such good questions. The answer is simple - I listen. Being a good listener is crucial if you want to be a great communicator.
Jesus was and is the best listener. We see all throughout the Bible examples of times when Jesus asked great questions, but those came from Him listening to what the person was really saying.
Jesus asked mostly open-ended questions. Open-ended implies we want to not only help you reach your own conclusion, but also want to have a conversation with you. Jesus wants to have a conversation with you. He wants to listen to your frustrations.
Questions for this week:
Do you trust Jesus? It’s hard to follow someone we don’t trust.
What question is He asking YOU? Write it down.
