Learning to ask better questions can deepen your relationships, strengthen your leadership, and draw you closer to God. Discover how curiosity and humility can transform the way you lead and live.

What happens when we learn to ask better questions? How might that shape our leadership, our relationships, and even our walk with God?

In this episode of FrontStage BackStage, host Jason Daye sits down with J.R. Briggs, founder of Kairos Partnerships and author of The Art of Asking Better Questions, to explore how thoughtful questions lead to healthier leaders and more authentic relationships.

Together, they discuss the spiritual and relational impact of asking great questions that open space for growth, curiosity, and deeper connection. Looking at how God used questions in the Old Testament and how Jesus made them central to His teaching in the Gospels, J.R. and Jason reflect on how thoughtful questions invite genuine conversation rather than one-sided proclamation.

They explore:

  • Why asking better questions helps people become healthier, more self-aware leaders
  • How Jesus used questions to teach, connect, and transform lives
  • The power of conversation over proclamation in ministry and relationships
  • How better questions lead to deeper relationships
  • Practical ways to grow as a better asker of questions
  • How curiosity, humility, and attentiveness form the heart of healthy leadership

This conversation invites viewers and listeners to embrace the art of asking better questions, cultivating curiosity, investing intentionally in others, and discovering how.
