Ask Good Questions

More bad discussions are born out of bad questions than for just about any other reason. Make sure that when you ask questions, they're good questions. And good questions are:

  1. Open Ended - allowing for more than just a simple "yes" or "no" answer. These kinds of questions usually begin with the words "why", "what", or "how." Close ended questions usually begin with the words "can", "do", or "should." (Note: Most Bible observation questions must necessarily be limiting in their response. The interpretation and application questions, on the other hand, should not be.) Bottom line … discussion questions should actually invite discussion. Pretty deep, huh?

  2. Purpose Driven - with a good reason for asking them. As a leader, you should know where you want to go in your discussion - what you desire for your participants to discover - and use your questions to lead them there. Never ask a question when you don't know the reason for asking it.
