160. Asking Powerful Questions


Listen Later

Hey everyone, thanks for tuning into this episode of the LDS Mission Podcast. Today I wanted to discuss the importance of asking powerful questions as a missionary.

While our one job is to offer thoughts with love, I've realized we can do even more by also asking questions with compassion and love. By understanding people's perspectives through questions, we can better meet their needs.

I shared some examples of how assumptions without questions can cause discomfort or misunderstandings. My advice is to directly and humbly ask people what they need in a way that makes them feel heard.

As missionaries, we should also ask ourselves loving questions instead of self-criticism. And don't forget to learn from those you serve. Whether you're prepping to serve, currently serving, or a returned missionary, I hope these insights help as you strive to offer thoughts and gain understanding through questions, with the goal of lifting others. Be sure to grab the free resources mentioned to enhance your mission experience. Thanks for listening!

As always, if you found this episode helpful, I want to invite you to subscribe if you aren't already, share this episode with your friends and missionaries you know, and write a review. I know this work will help missionaries around the world and it would mean so much to me if you did. Until next week my friends.
