Asking better questions

Questions that work well

• Topical: "What does the church teach about forgiveness?"
• Scripture: "What has been preached from Romans 8?"
• By speaker: "What did Pastor say about fear?"
• Practical: "How should I pray when I feel discouraged?"
• Discovery: "What series should I start with if I'm new here?"

Tips

• One question at a time gets a sharper answer than three at once.
• Name a book or chapter if you have one in mind.
• If the answer is too broad, ask it to focus: "just the part about waiting on God."
