Ask Better Questions, Have Better Conversations

I'm back with another faith-focused conversation that I think you'll really enjoy. Today's chat is with Mandy Pallock, a creative communicator who is passionate about using questions to build resilient relationships. In this interview, Mandy shares vulnerably about her journey from hating talking to people to discovering the beauty of curious questions. I think you'll be encouraged by her practical tips for overcoming awkwardness and asking great questions in your daily life. We cover a lot of ground, from modeling curiosity for our kids to living purposefully, even in mundane moments like waiting in line. Mandy has some fantastic thoughts on seeing people through Jesus' redemptive eyes, instead of attacking issues and people. I'd love to hear your takeaways in the comments! And if you want to dive deeper into Mandy's message, check out her new book The Question Habit, along with her podcast Presently Engaged.
