Speak Less, Listen More: How Asking Questions Will Transform Relationships - J.R. Briggs

Asking questions isn’t a sign of weakness; it’s a sign of humility, curiosity, and a willingness to learn! J.R. Briggs is the author of The Art of Asking Better Questions: Pursuing Stronger Relationships, Healthier Leadership, and Deeper Faith and the founder of Kairos Partnerships. J.R. shares his perspective that asking questions is both a unique and overlooked skill. We live in a world obsessed with thinking we know the answers to everything, and hardly think about what kind of questions we should be asking to understand more. Asking questions is a step toward building relationships, strengthening connections, and increasing our own knowledge base. The Bible, for example, is full of questions that even Jesus asked. Perhaps we should take our cue from the Word of God and emulate Jesus.


TAKEAWAYS

Asking questions helps us sift through information and understand it better

Asking questions is also an act of humility, and we should serve more than we are served

Biblical community is not the absence of conflict; it is doing what Jesus would do in the middle of it

Listen more than you speak and ask more than you answer
