In a world that is shifting and changing, we have come to recognize the importance of asking good questions. Good questions come from intentional listening and a willingness to engage with the unknown. God, Jesus, prophets, disciples, crowds, and Martin Luther all asked questions. As followers of Jesus, we are called to wrestle with questions, which do not always result in clear answers.

Questions to Consider:

  • What big questions are on your heart and mind?
  • What is a question you are afraid to ask?
  • What would you add to Martin Luther’s 95 Theses?
  • What is a ‘GO to’ question as you engage in conversation?

Prayer: Knowing God, what are you asking of me? Amen.

Suggested Song: Ask the Complicated Questions (ACS 1005)
